thanks desiibond ....just checked out the website for both of these.....the reviews say that the intel GPU cannot run some games at all.....so its better to go for a GPU from nvidia or ATI (AMD) .......

Studio 15 configs are good ......but they are a little out of my price range..(over 50K )

 

[desiibond]

^^hmm. to get a laptop with good GPU,you need to put atleast 50k.

 

[izzikio_rage]

50k will be a stretch ....will try ...what are the options available with decent graphics cards on them?

 

[desiibond]

Dell Studio XPS 16.

 

[izzikio_rage]

the dell website has a the studio 15 and an inspire series laptop where you can add on a graphics card....will that be inferior to the studio 16. Also how about other brands ....

 

[izzikio_rage]

with the budget coming out a few people have told me that its better to wait........is there a chance that the budget will seriously change the prices?

 

[Akshay]

Dont fall for Dell Studio 15. They keep changing the config and price every now n then and demand extra money. I was given a quotation of 44969 which changed to 45234, then to 45534 and after I paid 45534, I was asked to pay another 2857 for graphics card. l have cancelled my order.

 

[izzikio_rage]

how is the HP pavilion that you brought ? and how much did it cost you? and how is the overall performance in heavy applications like games?

 

[amitash]

^If your looking to game, then a laptop is not for you...You will barely be able to run all games and that too at low settings

If you can live with Zenith then their is laptop from zenith director ultra plus -
specs like this you won't find it in a 60k dell or hp laptop
spec - 4GB ddr2 677 mhz, 320 Gb HDD, Nvidia 9600GS GFX CARD, 15" tft + all other usual things...

 

[dinesh_ddt]

i have dell inspiron 1525 its very good....
config: c2d,3gbddr2,250hdd....

hey yaar but the spec r awsome...
idnt know abt this laptop personally but for this price specs r good i guess??
guys i need u on this.. plz tell yaar... wht 2 buy???

 

[foruamit2004]

^^ but the GPU is intel 4500 hd.. not at all for gaming (even in ur dreams )..

EDIT: I missunderstood this leapfrog with another leap model but still its specs are not very good according to the price, infect you can get specs like this in many 40-45k laptops, problem comes when you need a good GPU..

BTW: if you can consider HCL then should do some reserch on ZENITH laptops..

i'd recommend the hp pavillion dv5-1104ax

the config:
AMD Turion™ X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
320GB HDD
15.4" display
ATI Radeon HD 3450 512MB Graphics Card
the rest are pretty standard.

The GPU on this one will be sufficient to play all current games, albeit at low to moderate settings - but playable nevertheless.
The speakers on HP Pavillion notebooks are easily better than those on Dell notebooks.

The current price is around 47-48k, i think. u can check it with an HP dealer.

at ur budget, i don't think u can get any better.

what is the price of this laptop? and is there any major problem with the zenith models ? All the reviews I read say that its only downside is the 1GB of ram and that it heats up a lot...

looks pretty cool ......but how do the turions compare to the core2 duo models? are they future proof?

A friend brought the studio 15 recently at around 48K bucks will check the config and let you know.......it has the ATI 3450 card.....

by the how are the MSI gaming laptops that are being advertised in Digit ? MSI GT627 Gaming Notebook (Nvidia geforce 9800 ) .....what is the price

 

[abhisheksohal]

The Zenith laptop hasnt got 1gb ram..as u might have read in the techtree review...its got 4 gb ddr2 ram...nd as for heating...the laptop they have reviewed has T5800 processor...which produces more heat compared to P8400 2.26 ghz,3mb cache,1066 mhz FSB processor that zenith is now providing with this laptop..and also i'd like to tell u that being a gaming laptop its bound to heat up a bit when playing high end games coz of the geforce 9600M gs..which will produce some amount of heat(more than integrated graphics) ..anyways..u can use a cooling pad to brng down the temps. ...but i think the new laptop with P8400 processor would definitely produce less heat...so u should definitely consider zenith director plus ultra as an option if u want a highly good config. for ur budget..im buyin this one too ..very soon..

 

[izzikio_rage]

@abhisheksohal thanks dude....so how much is the director plus costing you? where are you buying it from? and what are the provisions for after sales support?

I just checked out the review of the MSI GT627 Gaming Notebook....seems like a steal at its price of around 53K do check it out.....although I have no idea how MSI's aftersales service is ......
