Multimedia + Gaming Laptop <80k

Oh wow! Calm down, you two! Both have a point. Depends on how much importance you have to give to build vs performance. A person considering a lappy as desktop replacement wont be too concerned about build for example.

Now, I'm cool if the lappy can handle fortnightly air travel.

I love the touchpad of the Dells. Super smooth and responsive. Can't comment on the build. Haven't used them.

The Inspiron 7000 is cool and has top notch build. I'm just concerned if after paying 80k, the 4500U would get obsolete in a year or so. Like I saw my four year old Phenom 9550 processor has the same CPUMark score as the 4200U.

Hence all the confusion

Don't worry, the Lenovo Y510p has one of the best build qualities out there(except for the touchpad).
I think the Inspiron 15 7000 has only a core i5 4200U which is obsolete even now(I am talking about CPU intensive games). For eg. NFS Rivals uses 80% of the core i7 4500U, it will probably max core i5 4200U.

I second to what is said in the above post.

Oh this is good info. Shows that next year games would be tuff on these proccies.

The Inspiron 7000 btw has options of 4500U and 4600U also. The 80k one has 4500U.

Btw, seamon, just curious. If you already had a Y500, why did u bother to buy and Inspiron?

It belongs to my father, he takes it on trips and stuff.

Oh ok. Well Im now leaning towards the Y510p. Let's see I'll put in a few questions in the Y510p thread.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy HP.The build quality is dubious.

@Op: If build quality is one of your primary concerns(it should be), Dell is the one to look at.Two models, the Inspiron 15R and the Inspiron 15 7000 are allmost entirely made of aluminium.

The Inspiron 15 7000(the fhd) model even has corning gorilla glass on its display.

I have the Inspiron 15R, the all aluminium chassis makes it heavy but the build quality is second to none.

I cannot speak for lenovo laptops though, and yes I too have noticed the flimsy touchpad on the Y500.(The 750M model,dunno about the y510p)

In Inspiron 15R is there any cracking sound below the keyboard. I heard this somewhere that there will be a cracking sound. Did you noticed any thing?
