Dell XPS 15 will be good for you IMO .
Customize it to second generation i5 . If you are not into gaming then you can also look at new inspiron series !

If you can shell out 100k then the option 2 looks awesome . As discussed in your thread I think the option 2 will be a good choice IMO.

vicky some1 ( my cousin actually he's here with me) is saying me that should go 4 the new config as i just edited should i add 12 k more for 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2820QM processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.40 GHz is performance justified.

Order status :
If you order by Credit Card . It will ship in 7-10 working days . If you pay via Cash at chroma then it will take more time .
I think the below config has better screen and better config overall , which will be good in the long run . I for one will tell you that you will be happy when you have a good screen and a good gaming GPU etc . IMHO second option will be more better except the new XPS looks better. Just ask yourself what you want in your laptop.

I am going for XPS 15 only then but
should i go 4 i7-2720QM processor 2.20 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.30 GHz instead of i7-2820QM processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.40 GHz and save 12k?? Is it worth 12k to spend to get an increase of 0.1Ghz!!!

Nope, not a good idea. Save that 12k and spend it on GPU for PC.

I dont understand this, when you can pay so much, why cant you go for a alienware, its built for gaming

IMO Alienware = over-priced machine with killer looks and jaw-dropping setup, but quiet frankly, we don't some of the features. So better stay away from Alienware if your dad is not a millionaire.

I am planning to buy xps 15 and have decided for the following configuration :
2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz
15.6" (39.6cm) HD (1366x768) WLED display with TrueLife™
6GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (1 x 2GB + 1 x 4GB)
500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
Tray Load 8X DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability
2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics with Optimus
6 Cell Primary Battery
Its costing me Rs54,605 when i customized it from the dell online site.
Now i am willing to stretch my budget by about 2k-3k and i am confused what should i upgrade :
1. Do i get 8gb RAM instead of 6gb (2k more ) ? Will the performance be noticeable ?
2. Do i get the " i7-2630QM processor 2.00 GHz " (3k more) ?
3. Or 750 gb hardisk (1.5k more) with maybe back lit keyboard (looks cool)
I primarily use laptop for gaming , movies , surfing and music . and plz dont suggest me any other laptop . i have already set my mind on this one .

it says on the website that when u place the order u will be contacted by a sales representative .. and he will placing the order for you .
i guess the sales guy will be a local one so i hope to bargain at that time .. and yes i will avail of the discounts .. hence the 2-3k budget stretch in the first place
