so not to compromise on system's performance. if a system got 1Gb ram. & gfx card start sharing ram. it'll end up with 768Mb ram. too less to even run a game properly.

After scratching my head for a month with the dilemma b/w Vaio & Dell Studio in this thread , I settled for Vaio VPCEB26FG Finally. MRP 52K, got it for 50K after discount with free Targus Toploading Bag

PROS:

Build Quality is Rock solid, except the number pad area, which bends a little. Laptop ran quite cool, compared to my Friend's HP DV6 (which can double up as Egg boiler )

First Impression, this is way better than the other Vaio E that I interacted with @Croma. Full HD panel is ****ing Awesome, though letters are tiny when you see for the first time, changing font DPI helps and You'll get used to it. Colour reproduction is sweeeeeet, Viewing angles are good. Images are very sharp, and Played some 1080P rips, video reproduction is super awesome, deep blacks and good contrast in Videos, tinker around the ATI catalyst center and Videos look more Vibrant and even more awesome.

Keyboard is very comfortable to type on and key spacing is too good. Keypress feedback feels solid and nice

Touch pad is nice and accurate with multi touch gestures. Touch pad is patterned and not smooth, I like this better, as this overcomes sticking problem with sweaty fingers after brief use.


Cons:
Speakers are just a waste of space in this, one of the crappiest laptop speakers I've heard. I knew this before, but its too bad after listening for a short period. I use headphones mostly, so not bothered about it much.

Battery is Li-ion, 39W/hr one, I wish they should have bundled slightly bigger one, at-least a 56W/hr provided with Dell Studio should have made this better. Didn't test backup time yet. Expecting atleast 2.5 hr backup.

Gloss Finish attracts dust and Fingerprints easily.

I'll post my review and user experience after using it for a brief period

here goes the pics

Thanks @sam.shab

Actually even this has got both lateral vents and bottom vents, it runs quiet and I'm actually typing this with Laptop on my lap, air from bottom vents is not that hot at all

and yeah the graphics soultion is Radeon 5650 1GB , but it is downclocked to run cooler.

Haven't installed any games yet, have to see how good it is

@sriharsha.madineni - Congrats dude. You're building a superb arsenal of gizmos around you.

lol thanks @Cool G5,

But I'm gonna miss my desktop and my Dell S2409 , 15in feels microscopic after getting used to S2409

 

[pulsar_swift]

[sriharsha_madineni]

are you going some where ? you are saying you are gonna miss ur desktop
