Wanna buy a gaming lappy! Plz help!!

[ranveeraggarwal]

I want to buy a mid-range gaming laptop, with a budget of around 65k.
Preferred config.: i7 3rd gen, 8gb ram, 2gb graphics card, decent battery life, hard drive no bar (i already possess a 3.0 external 1TB HDD so even low space hard disks will do). SSD preferred.
Kinda confused in b/w dell inspiron 15r turbo, inspiron 15z and lenovo z580, though anything else would also do.

IMO, the Z580 (59-339356) makes a good choice than the others.
you can also consider HP envy 4-1002tx for ~56k

I wouldn't go for ultrabooks is your main purpose is gaming.
So that cuts envy/15z.

7730M in 15r turbo > 630M in Z580.

Z580 imo has a better keyboard.
Highest end model of 15rturbo, ie. 8gb,i7,FHD would cost you about 66.5k with corporate/student discount. Probably more w/o any discounts on it.
Also, 7730M heats up less than 630M. Both sport decent battery life, nothing great.

There's also the Samsung NP550p5c S03IN- 8gb, i7, 1tb, 650M.

Note, 650M>7730M>630M.
But, samsung is known to face heating issues. If you're only into gaming, prolonged game times combined with lots of heat wouldn't be a good thing.

I have a z580, its good for casual gaming, runs mp3, ac3, mw, fifa12 pretty well, looks good, better build than 15r turbo, great keyboard and trackpad, 3 years warranty, all metal body, silent fan, moderate heat generation, good screen, louder Dolby speakers, in my opinion go for z580,

Com'on even Dell 155 Turbo is better that z580 ..
Z580 got weak GPU acc to the M.R.P
Or else checkout Samsung Np550p5c-S03IN

Sirji, specs is not everything when you decide on a laptop.

O.P. clearly mentioned he wants a mid-range "gaming" laptop.. graphics card would be a primary concern for gaming right? And sammy is pretty good.. i play for like 3-4 hrs regularly temps max around 90 while remaining around 85 during most part of the session.

Well for casual gaming gt630m is pretty good as well, it runs games on medium settings very well.

 

[omega44-xt]

GT650M is still a lot better than GT630M........for gaming that matters !!!!

My suggestion, get Samsung or Dell(with FullHD screen).
{Samsung would be better for gaming}

Overall z580 is a better laptop than 15r keeping the gpu aside

You own it doesn't mean it's better
Dell got Backlit keyboard, Best ASS, runs cool though looks ain't cool

Overall as a laptop In my opinion, its better, this too doesnt heat up much , and 15 r has shitty speakers, too quiet

@nickaustin C'mon man. Dell Inspiron Turbo 15R is far superior performer than your lenovo. Accept the truth.

@ranveeraggarwal Take demo of samsung series 5 550p and dell isnpiron 15R turbo laptop. Buy whichever suits you better.

Man, I am talking overall , like looks, other features apart from specs (like speakers, touchpad etc) I know it has a better gpu but that shouldnt be the only deciding factor when buying a lappy

Overall isnt looks and features=specs(all hardware) I think... Overall Dell is better I'd say.. lenovo is better than dell in terms of looks, keyboard and touchpad may be.. sammy got the best speakers and gfx of them all btw

@ranveer
Check out all of them and then decide.

As far as gaming is concerned Samsung NP550p5c S03IN and Dell inspiron 15R turbo are the two options in 65k price range.
Maybe the z580 has quite good product quality overall but the GPU is not that good compared to others from gaming point of view,moreover 15R turbo comes with FHD display.
Both gt650m and hd7730m are quite faster than gt630m.Even hd7670m is a bit better than gt630m,though both are good for somewhat good level of gaming.
