My friend need a new laptop. I suggested him HP g6-2320tx as i bought it recently and am quite satisfied with it but he simply said NO for hp as he had a very bad experience with them earlier.



1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
40k INR can increase 2-3k

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen



3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: DELL >>> lenovo and other brands. Try to suggest Dell first.
b. Dislike: HP


4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
He is doing B.tech in computers so will use it for programming, a bit photoshop, gaming (should be future proof at least for 2-2.5 years at least in mid settings)



5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
Whatever best fits in his budget.


6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
Local Purchase within this week. Do suggest dealers of Dell in New Delhi (he has somewhat made his mind to buy only of Dell).
And he can't wait for 1 months for Haswell. And since there is not much improvement in Haswell other than battery and it won't be necessary for him to spend more on Haswell.

Or is it highly recommended to wait for Haswell?

And when the new series will be launched what would be the range of i5(4th gen) with at least 1GB of 7670m ?

Wait for haswell only when u need lots of battery backup. Performance difference is not much except for its integrated graphics. You could cover that if u get a dedicated gpu more powerful than it. Prices of haswell laptops would be more than 3rd gen counterparts..
So at the time of release most of ivy bridge laptops can be bought for cheap prices.

Theres dell inspiron 15 with i5 ulv and 7670m @ less than 40k too

Can you please guide me a link for it. Don't understand why they launch different models with same model number. It's headache to find a particlar product of them.

It's a partner and certified dell dealer in india. Sells only laptops from dell.. and mostly those that are in stock. No never bought before.. but i think just like how dell delivers ur order in 1-2 weeks time.. these ppl do the same in 3-4 days. Dell assembles parts after order but these ppl sell from store house. Locally u could find dell laptops too.. price will mostly be the same.

this is perfect for your needs.

Samsung NP370R5E-S05IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 6GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Samsung: Flipkart.com,,,

.
Bro, my requirements were exactly the same as yours. After haggling around for 2 months i finally selected this laptop. Use of optical storage media is very rare these days, & if u really want to use DVDs then get an external DVD writer for about 2k. Believe me, there is nothing better available. My budget was 50k but i took this. Ordered on flipkart. Should be delivered by Friday.

My friend has increased his budget to 45k now. So any better fitting now in his budget? (of only Dell)

And should he go for 2GB 8730m or 1GB 7670m ? Am asking this after reading ongoing thread:
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks/175229-samsung-np370r5e-s05in.html


PS: He needs a future proof laptop mainly in terms of gaming as can't really alter processor in his case.

If your budget is 45k, then definitely consider this : Lenovo Ideapad Z500 (59-380480) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com
Seems much better to me...

I won't go for a 14 inch as he is much into gaming and gaming won't be much fun on 14 inch screen.
