Deal is ok if you're getting it for 41k , but not for more than that.

Hello


1) The onboard GPU is very weak. If gaming is on your mind, you can forget about getting this laptop. GT 520m is a strict no-no for gaming. Only you can watch HD games.

Nothing very special. Why? Most laptops at this budget offer this.

GT525M is NOT weak by any standards. Everybody is not expected to go for GTX560M, huh ? The only better GPU available under this price bracket is 540M which will nearly give a gain of 30-40%.

@dashing.sujay No mate. I think you got me wrong. as you said the 540 is faster, I told the 525 is slower since a better GPU is available in the price bracket hence I thought OP will benifit from it

You didn't said the way you should. You just raped 525M

And he said 525, not 520.

Ok Guys,

Thanks for the info. I am not a game freak. however, serious about HD Video and Music as well as performance computing.

Also would like to have WIN 7 HP pre-installed if possible. For ASUS laptops, I have to separately purchase the OS which may increase cost eventually.

Toshiba has WIN 7 HP (64bit) pre-installed along with MS Office 2010 starter edition.

And Toshiba has been ranked next to ASUS in recent reliability survey.

so I thought to take your opinion. By the ways both ASUS & Toshiba has Onsite service in the place where I live.

@thetechfreak : Since you said better configs are available in this range.. can you pls suggest something with above config and WIN 7 HP pre-installed.

Thanks again.

Kashyap

Can you pls. lend your expert opinion... would really benefit me.

@kashyapd Since you don't want to play games, movies etc can be easily handled by the given GPU.

Better config- HP Notebook G6-2008TX Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook

its Win 7 Home Basic but overall laptop is lot better

7670M ? Sometimes, just beefiest config doesn't matters mate Ths GPU is seriously overkill for him. I also understand that its coming in his budget, but going by record of HP, a relatively powerful GPU is supposed to release more heat which HP is again more than capable of providing . I guess you got my point

@Kashyapd To be frank, if you can't leave win HP, the Toshiba model you mentioned has got the best balanced & apt configuration as per you need. It has the processing power enough to run your through your life and graphics enough to keep a smile on your face.

If you could only sacrifice, win HP for basic, I personally would recommend- Acer timeline 5830TG. By sacrificing you HP, you get much better battery life, a much better GPU. But you also loose on CPU. So, the choice is yours.
