avoid the Acer, seriously overpriced. HP has more graphics power but heavy. Instead check this: Samsung NP300E5X-A01IN. Can run all your listed games at mid/low.

I'm a bit confused, AMD APU(does it mean the GPU is within CPU ?) is it like Intel's internal HD Graphics(3k\4k) ?
and will i require a dedicated GC for running mid-level games or The Internal GPU is sufficient to run such games ?

wht's the actual cost of Acer Aspire V3-551G ? any how i'll nt buy frm FK.. i'll check the price with local shops here..

I don't knw much abt the samsung's build quality and issues with it, none of my frnds have used it & neither me too

yes. APU is nothing just proccy + GPU as in intel processors. Moreover HD4000 is same powerful as most APU graphics.

You can run almost all current games at mid or low on HD4000 but if you plan to run games like Battlefield 3 or upcoming BlackOps2, better opt for dedicated graphics like HD7670 or GT630.

Acer one should cost 35k or more and not worth it as at that price you can get 2nd gen i3 + 7670M from HP.

Samsung one is fine. Better than most other laptops but lack USB 3.0 (acc to flipkart. maybe wrong info). But have matte display and the body is not glossy like HP and Samsung

none of the acer makes sense. hp is offering some great config + service at really low price. usually hp is on the bottom of my recommendation list cause of high price but this time they are surely turning tables.

no idea about Asus Trinity. useless to wait for them. not even sure what config will be launched as some of them have really poor GPU.

go for HP G6 with 2nd gen i5 and save some bucks (around 2k less at infibeam + Windows 7). i5 3rd gen have HD4000 which is a huge improvement over HD3000 but in processing power both are same. so going for 2nd gen i5 makes sense as they heat up less than 3rd gen processors.

I will also recommend the asus model and it is available for approx. 37.5 k at timtara(I don't know anything about the website).Clearly it wins coz it has much better processor,much better graphics card and 250 gb more hard disk space.Also why to waste money on win 7 when you don't use it.

ASUS K53SM boasts Intel i5 2nd Gen.. 2540M/2450M any option to upgrade..?

I've been looking into Acer Aspire V3 series..two of them fits my budget and usage..y isn't it recommended..? any flaws ? please do mention..

And about this model in particular Acer Aspire V3-571G-9435(the spec's are awesome) reviewed by AnandTech says priced btw $780-$850 and is $799 in Amazon.com, and this site here says it's priced 44.5k in India..
A similar model with exact spec's is 65k in Flipkart..
