laptop for Rs 45 000

[topgear]

Hey that's a killer config for the price . Are U sure it's 53K ?

After sales service diifers from place to place. If possible check about MSI laptop service in your city.

As far as I know Priya & Top Notch Infotronix are the service provider for MSI laptops.

Its actually costing around 44k(final inc. tax) here in chandigarh and my dad knows a guy who deals in computers etc. and hes gettin it for us at 41k! The laptop comes with 1 year warranty..and its onsite as is mentioned in their brochure...and they've got 450+ service centers throughout the country...all laptops are ICT(indian condition testing) passed..and looks are also no less than HP or dell...and it doesnt have a cheap build or anything like that..do have a luk at it..

 

[izzikio_rage]

@abhisheksonal thanks dude....will check for my city ....at 41 its a lot cheaper than the dell rigs having the same config...

@topgear not really sure of the price, it was mentioned on some site in dollars and said that it will cost almost the same here ......but still.... also there is the MSI GX400 (14 inch) series ....trying to find the price of these too....

someone on another thread told me that the GX400 is around 70K

 

[pickster]

The MSI GT627 costs $1300 in US which itself is around 65K. how the hell can you get it for 53K??

I even talked to the MSI Regional Manager- North & East India, and it costs Rs. 93000 + VAT from M/S Priya Ltd.

HOLY JUPITER!!! nVIDIA 9800M GS in a laptop? I been searchin for 9600M GT and it's been so hard! Dell doesnt have it, HP has it in some models, Sony Vaio is too costly (but has it). BUT! Can anybody please temme how good a company MSI really is? To be frank I hadn't heard of it until the time I got on this forum. So they have good after sales service in India?

MSI GT627 Gaming Notebook: End User price $1099.99 - Spec: Intel P8400, 4GB DDR2-800 MEM, 7200RPM 320GB HDD, 15.4’ XSXGA+ (1680x1050), NV Geforce9800GS 1GB-DDR3, 11b/g/n wireless, Bluetooth, 6cell battery, DVD-multi, Vista Premium, Gaming Backpack

I think it's a pretty good deal if you can get it from the US or somethin. You won't get ANYTHING close to this config in India for nearly the same amount.

Man I don't think I know anybody who owns a Zenith laptop. I'd advise you to go for well-known international brands. I too have to buy a laptop. After extensive surveying, I've come to know that one would be better off gettin one from abroad. Damn they had a discount of $700+ on the XPS 1530 during the thanksgiving time in the US!! But I was broke back then.

Question: Have Dell removed the XPS line and substituted it with the Studio XPS?? I can't find XPS 1530 on their website ANYWHERE! JEEZ! That'd mean there's no decent laptop in the 15" segment by Dell now! And that sucks!

hey there is the XPS 17 from dell for around a lakh that has 2 nvidia cards in SLI ....check that out too

Damn! I don't have that kinda money. PLUS! I've seen the XPS 1730. It's HUMONGOUS! Believe me. They're tryin to sell it as a laptop when it actually is a DESKTOP cuz it's so freakin BIG! I don't think anybody can lug it around. It's ridiculous.

 

[izzikio_rage]

anyone who can tell me something about zenith's service? The config and price are too tempting .....if the support is good enough then zenith is the one to buy.....help....

 

[izzikio_rage]

guess zenith is not that popular ....... ....anyway moving back to the studio 15 from dell ...how is the ATI 4570 card graphics card ....and where can I check if the one dell is giving is DDR 2 or 3?

!!!! just found out that the ATI 4570 has just been released by AMD .....considering that the older Dell laptops had everything going for them but the graphics solution this is amazing.......Zenith ..you now have competition....

 

[prakash.gourav]

Yeah me too going for dell studio 15 on monday....

 

[abhisheksohal]

Zenith support is as good as any other MNC's ..i have come in contact wid a guy who already has bought this laptop around a month back!! and he hasnt encountered any single problem till date...the laptop's working well ..hes played all the latest games at decent settings..like FarCry2, Gears of war, Gta 4 ..and all run absolutely smooth!
Many other people are also thinking of buyin this laptop..check out other threads too(QnA, Reviews) ..so if u wanna buy a value for money product ..then i would suggest u go for zenith..I myself am buyin it for sure in the first week of march!

 

[izzikio_rage]

just saw the zenith laptop today .....the looks are pretty good ....and at 44 it sure is value for money.......can you please post the links to the other threads where this laptop is discussed .....baakiyon se bhi rai le li jaaye....

MSI india site sucks.
When you click on the products link, it goes back to their global site, so you dont get the products which are already available in India.
But they do order stuff for you, and the regional manager gave me an estimate of 4 weeks delivery time if i ordered MSI GT627.

IMP: Don't let the international prices fool you. Most of them are not applicable in India. If they sold their products in India at the international rates, I would get GT627 at around 70K. But instead I am getting it at 93K + VAT.

 

[abhisheksohal]

93k and 70k is hell lot of a difference!!!And dunno maybe that GX630 might also cost much higher here then!! I guess i'll have to be satisfied with the Zenith director plus ultra laptop then ...but anyways ..i have emailed them and lets c wat price they quote for it here in india..

 

[izzikio_rage]

even the MSI GX 400 is above 70k bucks ....so its pretty much out of our price range....

@abhisheksohal : dude even the other threads had a lot of people who were skeptical about zenith.....and one of my friends had a really bad experience with Zenith desktop PCs...I talked to the dealer here too and he also assured me that the service will not be any problem, but you don't really expect a dealer to tell you that the service is bad ...do you?

still waiting for some feedback from someone who has encountered zenith service or heard about it.......

By the way do check out the dell studio 15 too.....the graphics card and processor are better than the zenith one ...so the question is that is the extra 7000 Rs worth the dell name and service.....(by the way someone pls post the benchmarks of the ATI 4570 card)

 

[abhisheksohal]

@izzikio_rage
The cost of Studio 15 is 15k which is totally out of my budget!! Only if it were to be available at retail stores then I would have given it a second thought coz the guy from whom im gettin the zenith laptop has contacts with distributors and he can brng down the cost by about 4k..like the zenith one which im gettin for 40k from him..and i'll be satisfied with even the T6400 processor coz the HD4760 would make up for it .I configured it with this processor and rest the same config..came to around 48k, how much will be tax and delivery charges??And any idea if Dell studio 15 can be had at retail Dell stores?? And is there no option of getting the genuine windows vista?!? coz then the cost would come down by 3k-4k bucks more...is there no choice of jus gettin it w/o OS??

 

[izzikio_rage]

would love to hear of a way to remove Vista....

and the graphics card is HD 4570 ......which is still pretty good....

by the way retailers do stock dell.....guess you can ask your guy to check it out....

 

[pickster]

AFAIK, you cant choose No OS option with companies like Dell/HP/Sony.
Although, Dell did offer the option of Ubuntu which obviously did not raise the costs of the laptop. But that was only on a few selected notebooks.

You can always call up Dell and request the Rep. to install Ubuntu or some other form of Linux instead of Vista.

EDIT: couldn't find any benchmarks for ATI HD 4570. Just a relative graph here which is BS.

 

[izzikio_rage]

The studio 15 unfortunately does not give the option of removing Vista ...

@pickster : same here ...the card is so new that there are no reviews for it yet.....guess its wait and watch..

still waiting for some first hand experiences on Zenith's service....
