MSI laptops are available here @ cochin.......

there is only one dealer for the whole kerala.. i have contacted them.. but even they are not sure abt the config

from wot they have told me, the config will be..

MSI GX620

p8400
nvidia 9600mgt ddr3 512 mb!!!!!!!
4 gigs ram
WSXGA+ lcd screen
Blueray reader and DVD super multi writer

etc.......

he said it will cost 72k with Vista..
I asked him if its available without vista..
he hasnt replied yet, since he gotta ask his manager in DELHI to get a reply..
I think it will be available without Vista.. i.e. with Freedos..
then it will cost near 67k....

Noobness unleashed....
dv5-1015tx all the way.... xps no where stands near about it
i was the guy who started 1 thread for it... Too bad i am still awaiting a laptop due to late scholarships payment.....


i hav heard rumors dat 1015 has been taken off the market... seriously don't wanna so... may buy this in a month or so.....
also there is a way to install xp over vista (vista installed before) even if u have a single partition only in addition to rcovery partition. just google for it, the only issue is the availability of drivers.....

4 GB RAM ( ddr2-800)

320 gb HDD @ 5400 rpm

9600m gt 512mb DDR3 :cool: ( dv5 got only ddr2.. ddr3 version got 20% more performance )

Blueray reader + supermulti dvd-writer


Price: 66k

Warranty: 2 years standard warranty ( global warranty for the first year)

wot do u think? whoz the real winner????? XPS 1530 or DV5-1015tx or MSI GX620 ???

Also the benchmarks of GX620 shows a 3dmark06 score of 5100!!!!!! @ 1280x800

so.. tell me.. who wins????????????

I went for the MSI... coz its got

better GPU,
Blueray writer
better warranty
better LCD screen

and all this for same price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am dying waiting for it..

also, many reviews say that MSI gx620 generated far less heat compared to dv5..

also heard tht it got somewhat better battery backup compared to the dv5.. abt 2 hour 45 minutes..
