Hey Guyz,

I am currently looking to replace my desktop and get a laptop which i can use at work and home for mainly listening to music, browsing, mails, and movies. I will be using it to play games ocassionally (CS, FIFA, NFS, etc..)

I have a budget of about 55k +/- 10 K depending on the laptop ... Also the laptop should look a little decent...

Was looking at the Toshiba L850 or u840... Are they good or can any1 suggest alternatives any brand is oka as long as it has a good audio as i will be connecting it to my TV to watch movies and listening to music when at home ... Was looking at the Asus with the Bang & Olufsen but they are pretty expensive and have the second gen processors :( ...

All the mainstream laptops carry almost same grade on board audio. MacBook leads the list. My suggestion: Buy CB45 @ 53k and spend the rest amount on a decent DAC such as Audinst.

And I guess the Asus model you are talking is N55S(X) series.

I won't suggest you to get Toshiba, it was good sometime back but not anymore.
Apart from that I suggest you to wait for sometime and let other/all brands come up with IVB processor laptops.
Or get the dell inspiron with IVB processors.
And if you can compromise on the latest IVB processors then surely Sony CB45 is a very good option.

@OP if you wants looks in your laptop, then you can't ignore SONY and MACBOOK ;)

acer timeline is my personally favorite laptop, specially its chiclet keyboard(isolated keys), it has a great battery backup of 5 hours with GT 640M, but don't know how much it cost and is it available in india?

so can't comment on it, but yes it is the most beautiful laptop released by Acer recently :)

Oh Niceeee looks !!

BTW is Dell a reliable company ? I ask this because Dell is asking a hell lot more(5-6k) for the extended warranty while sony charges only 2.5k.

And the Acer looks awesome !! But its a Acer :(

hey guyz,

have heard that the IVbridge processors are heating up so u think its a good idea to settle for dell inspiron 15se ?? and also wanted to know is it really worth going for a SSD in the laptop ??

I think im now to shortlist between the Sony E Series (which has good looks but a second gen processor and no SSD) or Acer Timeline Ultra M3 (which has a second gen processor with SSD) or Dell INspiron SE (third gen processor but no SSD) ..????

That was the first lot of IVB processors which was on testing and that never came out in market infact.
The one which are coming right now don't have such issues.
And yes having a SSD obviously increase the performance of laptop.
About which model of Acer are you talking about, can you give a link please.
And its not worth to get the Sony E series with older processors, today only Sony launched a new series of laptops.
