[rider]

Yes! Too bad he didnt bother reading my post before claiming I gave no proof

Yes, I read you post. I cant find in it, your words cant prove anything mr fanboy.

He did say check notebookreviews though

No, it is not in notebookreviews, it is in notebookcheck.

And you can't compare CB screen with S15 screen. S15 is a higher quality display with IPS panel

Here you go

Se review. Check display score
Review Sony Vaio VPC-SE1Z9E/B Notebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews

Xps15 now see what dell b+rg scores
Review Dell XPS 15 Notebook (i5-2410M & GT 540M) - Notebookcheck.net Reviews

Xps screen is no doubt brilliant and especially at its price it was out of this world but its not better than SE

And if you decide to tell me notebookcheck is also sony fanboy site then read this too from Anandtech

AnandTech - Sony VAIO SE: An IPS Laptop for Under a Grand

WAIT A SECOND!!
WHY YOU ARE SHOWING ME IPS LED OF VAIO SE

svs15115fn model is of S-series not SE series

As you can see vaio mentioned in specification:
Display: 15.5 (39.37 cms) wide (Full HD: 1920 x 1080) TFT colour display (VAIO Display Plus, LED backlight)

See, No mentioning of IPS

It is now coming with Inspiron 15R special editions, though available in some weeks in india with much better configuration and GPU.

RON28 was comparing CB series 1080p this is why i replied to him.

Dude rider please read before posting, I am not even gonna reply to you now.
Ask google why did I post links of SE.

Or maybe some other member here can tell you why

Or read my first post again

 

[rider]

Ask your sony why they launched non-IPS model ? It is not that S15 screen that you are thinking. Okay

You should read my post again! and see that pic I posted.

You are comparing with some IPS model that is not in India.

"No, it is not in notebookreviews, it is in notebookcheck. "

Sorry. My bad. Didn't realise I needed to spell the whole thing out for you despite the reference to the previous post(And before you say it,yes I know notebookreviews is another website). Anyway sorry.

@OP Well that link you shared,sure it has great looks and an HD screen but it is hugely overpriced. Wait for some better product launches. They shouldn't be too far now.

@Dashing Sujay

+1. Also this is not a competitor to notebooks like Inspiron 15R, HP DV6 etc. Its a 15 inch ultra portable, the lightest 15 inch notebook you can find at just 2kg with an IPS screen. So quite obviously this doesn't target Insipiron 15R/HP DV6 customers. So you really can't say its overpriced as this is a machine built to be small yet powerful. It competes with Dell XPS 15z and is clearly better than that. So it really has no competition.
The slightly higher pricing is mainly due to the effect of weakening rupee though.

And bro sujay Z has TN panel but it still has very good viewing angles. The new model just launched, priced at 1,79,900
Will be getting the Z soon and put up a review here

 

[dashing.sujay]

I wish I could exchange my laptop with it

 

[Jripper]

@sujay Oops Didn't see that it was an ultraportable But anyway it still costs a lot considering the hardware(though can't ignore portability).

 

[dashing.sujay]

Priorities matter mate. If you want a boiling laptop with crappy resolution feeling like a brick, then save your money, just to get that that extra fps, or pick this for perfect blend of performance & portability. Fair enough, but people start foul crying after seeing the price.

 

[Jripper]

Yeah true. One thing I hate is a laptop that boils the lap I'd rather take one with low specced one which is comfortable to use.
On a different note, "ultraportable" 's prices really do need to fall.

 

[randomuser111]

I wish I could exchange my laptop with it

The S15 ? Yea S15 looks really good! Light, great screen, more than adequate performance,magnesium & aluminum construction plus great looks

 

[dashing.sujay]

Yeah, looks are jaw dropping. My major concern is weight. I'm a bit regretful on opting for 15"6 laptop. 2.84kg dammit, so heavy

Why don't they start laptop exchange program?

 

[Jripper]

You guys wanna team up for a bank robbery?
we all can get one then

 

[swiftshashi]

@rider & randomuser111-Let it be guys;lets stick to the topic and answer the thread starter's queries.U guys appeAr to b fighting.

As far as the laptop is concerned,its great in specs with super-sexy and slim profile.Just hoping that sony have done their homework in heat flow department.
Here in ranchi,they are offering it for 67k + regular accessories free(mouse+headphone+4gb pendrive).So I guess 66k with hArd bargaining is achievable.
OFF TOPIC-Now about the much discussed hp heating issues,yes the hp laptops do heatup a wee bit more than comparable laptops like xps,but its never uncomfortable.Its always in range of +5'C. I think that's due to the much powerful 6770m graphics and slimmer design.

 

[randomuser111]

@dashing.sujay

LOL! Great idea I wish they listen to us and start laptop exchange scheme

@Jripper

Count me in

@swiftshashi

Point taken
Yes 66k is the max you should be paying really. And those "extra accessories" are always nothing but crap. So you can always ask them for a discount instead of them accessories.

 

[rider]

Or Mr.Rider you should get your eyes checked and learn to read properly ?

*i45.tinypic.com/14neq87.jpg

Mind your language, and behave sober. It's sony's fault that they didn't wrote in the specifications.
The thing IPS panel is written lately by them, as "& IPS Panel" they forgot to add this in specs.

What kinda of TDF member are you??, talking side who started the fight.

LINK See, this model cost 22-23k less having same processor, same RAM, almost same performing GPU. And Is it worth to spend that much for a piece of 15" 1080p IPS LED and 740g less weigh ??

i think that all depends on our preference, if you have money and don't care about other VFM products, then people buy that Sony Vaio Laptop without giving a second thought, personally if i had that much budget i would have still gone for that 1080P IPS screen with 2kg weight, but i would have also consider other strong contenders

but i must say that Sony has a class, like apple i think Dell should release that laptop which you mentioned as early as possible,
