AMD Radeon HD 6630M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

i7 quad core in laptop is worth only for those who use their laptops for serious video editing/encoding,virtual machines/environments,3d rendering etc.for most i7 just means more temp(especially in indian summer)& battery consumption.

Thanks but I had already checked that.
Just wanted to know your gaming experience.

Ok, so will the two cores suffice for next 2-3 years?

Everything depends on what you exactly use? For instance which games, at what settings. Throw some light on your uses, then it'll be helpful for us to suggest you in a better way.

Games like NFS n Dirt series will do for me.
Laptop will mostly be used for Visual Studio, Oracle, Dreamweaver(i.e. basically all kinds of coding) and other things like browsing and movies.

an i5 mobile(2 real cores+2 virtual cores along with turbo boost)should be enough for your usages for next 3 years.according to notebookcheck review 6630M is enough to play dirt3 & should be able to play NFS Shift at low/med settings.i am not a gamer so wait for others but i think NFS shift is graphic intensive game & 6630M will not be able to handle Shift 2 even at low settings.for a good gaming experience on a 1366*768 laptop i think a GT540M or radeon equivalent is the recommended option.

Yes, go for it. Its a very good laptop. Sony's service is also good.

And yeah, you can get the warranty extended for another two year at just 2500/- only, which is the cheapest in the world :). I have already got it.

@Sujay
I am soon going 2 buy a laptop as soonas i get into college(a couple months maybe).Can u suggest me which would be better b/w Sony CB35 and asus K53SV.I primarily need it for gaming(Mass effect series ,skyrim ,COD etc).
Asus has better processor, more ram but does'nt have a backlit keyboard and full hd screen like sony and i don't know which one's gpu is better , asus has GT540M.
I am really confused.

540M is slightly better than 6630M (appx 10-15%). If your priority is just "gaming", then of course laptop with better config will win (which k53 has). Regarding backlit keyboard, its bling bling factor, if it lures you go for it, its totally worthy. It totally makes your laptop different from crowd. :D
1080p display is something which you won't regret if you can go for it. It just makes everything so beautiful with a bit sacrifice on GPU.
So, set your priorities and get one. And CB35 is very less in market these days. It'd be very hard for you to grab one.

The GPU of Asus is better but all over sony one is much better.
The display of Asus is not that impressive, that is the major drawback of that laptop and many people have posted about it.

Can't say. But my temps are around 48-49 and after gaming 3hrs of TF2 it is around 65°.

And why its not showing HDD temp ?
