Got this one: Razer Blade 14" : Best laptop for the price, just storage would be a issue(but its SSD), otherwise best performer

I checked lenovo australia site,they dont have y510p.even if i bought y510 from dxb.chances are international warranty may have limitation.i have faced problem when i bought a samsung led smart 3d tv from dxb.

What i want to know is which gpu should i look in a laptop,which series,amd or nvidia etc

I cant comment on which GPU brand to prefer but , If you plan on gaming a lot then i would definitely suggest Nvidia GT 750M or above .
For AMD you should choose atleast HD 8850M or above .

Right off the assembly line
Checkout Dell outlet website for Australia. They have sometimes very nice deals on refurbished laptops; including xps and inspiron 7000 series. Only problem is items are sold very fast so you have to keep monitoring.

K,i like the dell one.i know its a stupid question.hows gamming on mac pro


Just a word of caution on the Dell Inspiron 15 7000, the keyboard is pathetic.The keys are very small and there is a lot of flex(the whole keypad depresses while typing).Typing fast on the keyboard is an exercise in frustration because of the bad feedback....in other word worst keyboard I have ever used.

I too was getting this laptop first but the keyboard was a deal breaker for me.Instead I went for the Inspiron 15R 5537

My only option is to settle for a 720p screen.
Or go for gigabyte or hp envy.every full hd screen here comes with touch
Any one using gigabyte?

I suggest you ask for suggestion from an australian forum instead as they'll have better knowledge about products sold there. TDF has members mostly from India.
