I already searched it bro... Bt as i mentioned i have heard issues abt sony... Thatz why i asked here.

Btw so am i correct abt sony's parts being expensive n all??? Actually one of my frind bought viao some years back, the touchpad of the lappy was damaged somehow. So whn he contacted the service centre they told him that it would cost him 15000/- inr to get it repaired.:O I dont wanna face such problems.

^^^^ Sony CB45 is the best laptop when gaming is not required. Don't know about the repair costs, but I think if you get extended warranty and handle the laptop with some care there won't be any such problem.

as i mentioned earlier, it is for a GIRL, how can you expect her to handle the laptop with care.

also my friends laptp was in warranty period too but still sony charged him 15000 rs, they told him that whole keypad and touch pad will be changed. thanx to her di, shez some high officer in accenture and sent a letter to sony's hq (in singapore) about the problem, so finally they repaired it for very low cost.

How can they charge when its under warranty? :crazy:

Anyway, if you really think that Sony is not your cup of milk, then go for XPS (i5).

Yeah he dropped some drops of coffee... Dunno thatz what he told me. By the look of it there was no physical damage. :( well doesnt matter under warranty or not, i cant afford to pay one third the price of laptop for any repair in any condition. Thats why i hate sony.

Btw xps15 will run every game at low settings?

In that case every company will charge you a similar amount other than dell who has the Complete Cover option.
Every company/laptop has some pros and cons, one has to compromise at one or the other end.
Yes XPS will rum almost every game at low settings and even many at medium settings.

^^ You bet. NVIDIA GT540M can handle pretty much any game at low settings. For less demanding games like FIFA, you can turn up the details... :-D

Now a days when you call dell people to repair or replace any of your part of the laptop, they replace it with a refurbished one and that gets kaput very soon, and also it degrades the performance of the laptop. And one more thing when you call them(at service centre) on the given contact nos., you have to wait for a minimum of 30-45mins to get some on call(as no one responds before that).Have got many cases that is why I am saying so.
I was a big fan of dell, even I have got a dell laptop but now I own a mac, the laptops are pretty good but their service sucks these days.

BTW XPS is the best laptop by dell(not considering the high end business series laptops right now), so if you are thinking of it you can go for it
