lenovo g580 or hp 2005ax

4GB pendrive is given as gift as it is so dirt cheap. They simply include the price in the laptop. Everyone love free gifts
1k cheaper cause no cooling pad or free warranty.

infibeam will only send you the laptop with bag. nothing else.

being on tight budget, i think i will have to ignore extended warranty and go with infibeam

lol turns out infibeam increased price to 33.5k

i also have a few questions about 2005ax,
can we turn both gpus off to save power and produce less heat, as i will be running it for long periods continuously, does it serve any benefit? and does it increse battery backup?

this is not possible. without GPU how will the display work? though if you underclock the processor (which also underclocks the fGPU) and turn the discrete GPU off, laptops runs completely silent and battery backup doubles (triples if you lower brightness to lowest). And even then you can game as i have played MOH 2010 with slight lag at mid settings. and temperature will get same as that of web browsing. But you'll have to spend sometime configuring the AMD CCC.

and does overall performance except graphics/games remains unaffected if we turn off dedicated gpu?

you can turn select any of the 3 mode for GPUs: discrete GPU, fusion GPU, dual GPU. apart from this you can set the processor to run at 1400Mhz or 1900Mh or shift between 1400 and 1900Mhz acc to load. When gaming, its better to force proccy run at 1900Mhz as turbo kicks in and forces processor to run at 2.3-2.5Ghz continuously.

PS: GPU and proccy can be configured independently.

Also since i will be using external monitor (22"), can we use dedicated gpu output? as sometimes only integrated gpu works in video out

not sure but i think if you set the GPU to discrete, the discrete GPU will take command whatever display you use.

you'll anyway need a cooling pad. and FK is giving a decent pad so thats worth the money.

at 36k i think its a little expensive, also processor performance may be below par. 2005ax seems better at 3-4k less

i was wondering that too, i guess i just need to bargain a little and go for the lowest deal.

@pratyush997, a similar laptop (maybe this one but 1GB graphics memory and red colour) is available for 35k at infibeam and FK.
@duke123, thanks a lot. thought it to be a FK only offer. getting it before the month ends. having exam else would have already grabbed it.

So guys turns out, saholic is offering this beast for 32799 while buytheprice is offering it for 32,890.
Is it safe to buy from these sites?
HP Pavilion Price in India | G6-2005AX Specifications, Features and Reviews

HP Pavilion G6 - 2005AX Notebook B3J80PA - Buy Online in India for Rs.32,890 as on 6th September 2012 - Price, Features, Reviews, Specifications, Photos, Videos | BuyThePrice.com

unlike flipkart there is no cooling pad (cooling pad is definitely not worth 1300, as flipkart itself is selling it separately for 900 with card reader free), which i don't need anyway.
the saholic one is blue colored, how does blue laptop look? anyone got pictures?
the buytheprice color is not specified.

 

[coderunknown]

both are safe. and AFAIK there is no blue colour version of this laptop. Maybe they are trying to fool or maybe uncommon stock.

 

[hp_or_lenovo]

thanks sam but it is really blue, they have mentioned it at many places.
though found another link @ homeshop18, it is available at 34k but there is both discount as well as gift coupon of 2000, does that mean it will cost me just 32k?

though currently its out of stock.
if it is 32k then i think its the best deal, isnt it?

 

[coderunknown]

yes it'll cost only 32k but HS18 doesn't easily restock items like fk. so can be quite sometime before it is back. but be on lookout as it may get stocked soon.

 

[hp_or_lenovo]

nice! i have clicked on notify me so i will be alerted automatically.
waiting time doesnt matter as long as its before 30th september (when extended warranty offer expires)
thanks again.
