i forgot to mention that USB 3.0 is must.

And I am doubtful about asus' build quality as I am fond of hp can you please suggest an hp laptop. And yes is there any way that i can get a No OS laptop which normally comes with windows.

check out Asus K Series K53SV-SX521D

Its outta my budget, man!
Rs. 47385

 

[aroraanant]

Ok then please detail your requirement so that we can suggest you accordingly.
You want a 14" or a 15.6" screen?
You require 1GB or 2gb graphic card?
i5 or i7?

In i7 you have only one option
Asus X Series X53SC-SX223D
This one comes with 1gb graphic card for around 42k

In i5 and 14" with 2GB graphic card
Asus K Series K43SA-VX040D
This is one is my favorite.available for 38k or may be less
But I think this one lacks the usb 3.0 port

i5 with 2gb graphic card 15.6"
Asus K Series K53SV-SX520D for approx 39k

These are the best suited models for you in your budget from Asus which is offering the best specs and also very good build quality for the price when compared to other brands but I don't have any idea about their service and all.
For information(like prices and specs) refer flipkart and letsbuy.

All the asus laptops suggested here are with no OS.And also most have them has a USB 3.0 port.
If I would be at your place I would have picked Asus over HP anyday.But thats me,it is because many of friends are having HP laptops and all suggests me not to go for them as they are suffering from heat sinking issues(even the newer models)
Or if you are not keen to have a graphic card then you can also look at the sony laptops they are very good both in performance and build quality

starting from the beginning

I am looking for laptop for watching hd movies and playing
games(decent graphics). Along with the same i would also be doing
photo and video editing(core i5 2nd gen) i would listen to music
connecting to my altec woofer+speakers.
any screen size will do. USB 3.0 is a must.

 

[aroraanant]

You can buy any laptop from the above listed models.
If you are buying for watching movies and playing games then you should go for 15.6" screen size laptop
Asus K Series K53SV-SX520D is the best option for you.

Why are you so hell bent for hp?
Regarding build quality,Asus K series is as well built as dv4 or dv6,if not better.
Screen quality of dv4 and dv6 is well below average and they have the legendary heating problems.
I am no gamer but would choose the Asus over hp anyday.

i am using k53sv-sx520d....its superb...no heating issues and usb3 port as well....

Talking about the hp dv4 3016tx....HP has discontinued the products and I am afraid that you will get it from any dealer in India.....

+1 on that.

HP used to have overheating issues. But it is a thing of the past. The newer Sandybridge notebooks run much better and much cooler. No overheating, no slowdowns, no shutting down due to overheat. Better ask people who own the newer models. If everyone was to buy products based only on age-old reputation (good or bad), most people would still be buying Nokia smartphones as they once used to rule the roost.

dude its still having the same old heating issues even its top model dv6 6165tx is facing the same issues while playing the game so i guess HP i wont suggest anyone for that laptop

 

[aniket.cain]

You are facing overheating issues?? Which game?

 

[Freedom.Forever]

P DV6-6121TX | XBOX 360 | Cowon J3 16GB | Audio Technica M50 | Klipsch Image X10i

What else can one need.

 

[balkeet]

ya,plz post about a brand only if you are sure,
there is no gaming laptop in market which doesn't cross 80*C temp when used for bf3 or crysis 3.Every performance notebook is destined to be overheated if put to test.Earlier i too thought that hp sucks in heating issues but when i read dell xps 15 review at notebookcheck.net i was shocked,its cpu temp hits 95*C.Then i searched some xps 15 and inspiron 15r forums and story was same,people using their dell for high end gaming overheated.So hp is innocent.Infact u can compare the 6770m with 555 or 540 gtx and find that 6770m is way ahead then any other gpu in market at graphicscardbenchmarks.com

Review Dell XPS 15 Notebook (i5-2410M & GT 540M) - Notebookcheck.net Reviews
and stop ranting about hp heat issues.

 

[red dragon]

Yes,all gaming laptops heat up under heavy load.
BUT hp dv6 has the problem of overheating under moderate load and this problem is there for a very long time now(from dv6000 era)
I have seen a 17 inch MBP on Windows running consistently at around 90 degrees for over a year now,but it just run hot...never shuts down....try that on a dv6..bang!!there goes the mobo..and there lies the problem.

 

[aniket.cain]

^^ At least the newer models have no heating issues. Ask any owner here if his laptop ever shut down or gave any error due to overheating. There are plenty of us here. And I have never seen it touching 90 degrees even when I used to play 6 hours straight while the laptop was kept on bed.
