Need to buy a laptop, please help

[Ksquare]

Hey! Please help!
I'm going to buy a new latop. Budget rs50k. Will be using it for programming, light weight gaming, photoshop, flash, movies and music. Want it to last atleast three years. Should have HD display.
I'm thinking of the new Dell XPS 15(XPS L501X).

How are dell laptops in general?? How is the quality of the components and their service??
Thank you!

I will suggest you to buy HP PAVILION DV6-3057TX (Champagne) XB779PA Laptop. This laptop comes with the following specs:
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Core i3-350M processor 2.26 GHz, 3 MB L2 Cache Standard memory 3 GB (1 x 2 GB) DDR3 1333 MHz Maximum memory Supports up to 8 GB DDR3 memory Memory slots 2 user accessible memory slots Internal drives 320 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive 7200 rpm, LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±RW with Double Layer Support Lightscribe Lightscribe included Display size (diagonal) 15.6in Diagonal High Definition LED HP Brightview Widescreen Display with 1366 x 768 resolution, NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Card

The GPU is AMD 5650, not nvidia geforce. the config looks good form 47k rupees.

This GPU is better than GT420M that comes on Dell XPS 15. in terms of support, I think Dell is much better than HP.

also, check this for FullHD awesomeness: VPCEB36FG : E Series : VAIO Laptop & Computer : Sony India

Take a look at lenoyo Y560 too...
It comes with core i5 430, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD and 1 GB AMD HD5730 graphics card... Priced around Rs. 51200...
Correct me if i m wrong but i think 5730 is better than 5650...

Lenovo Y560

yes. HD5730 is slightly better than HD5650. Both are part of same family. And I think Y560 from Lenovo for 51k is definitely better than Sony Vaio E series (core i5 vs i3 and slightly better GPU), only downside being non-HD display. I have seen the crispness of E-series's FullHD display and it is a stunner.

Dell XPS 15 can be customized with:

15.6 FHD (1920x1080) B+RGLED display with TrueLife

RGBLED display coming with Dell is pretty awesome too!

how about this, I have checked prices are correct, but I do not know anything about the seller. search for asus dealers locally you will find the prices for this laptop in this range only
