Your one option is the one stated above i.e. so5in and in case you want a desktop replacement you need to shell out say about 61-62k and get dell 17r turbo i5 version.

Save some more bucks and get the Y510 from lenovo with 4th Gen Processor and GT750M....when it becomes more purse-friendly, it will definitely give an edge to you with that GPU, its definitely worth a shot to wait for all 4th Gen MQ version notebooks to become mainstream with GT 7** series and also with a price drop. the unfortunate "weak money to dollar" syndrome is killing the sweet spot price point for laptops now.

Otherwise go for the Samsung with 650M, never choose the GT740M as its a weaker GPU, also I found in some variance in products, it comes with a 64bit Bus b/w which will cause an annoying performance drop even if the GPU clocks are fast enough.

:facepalm:
you are spending 55k on a laptop for facebook games. then IMO, go for ultrabooks not notebooks, they give you more portability,better looks and better battery backup. which i believe samsung one is

Going by the looks dell inspiron 15 3521 will be a good choice. It is totally different from the traditional dell look. The laptop is slim and sexy and configuration is good too. The price also hits a sweet spot of 41k.

Nope, i have seen both of them and none of them close to Lenovo z500 in terms of look. you can go for Lenovo Ideapad Z500 (59-366499). It looks best and HD4000 is enough for fb gaming.

OP, you must be a girl or buying for a girl :D
Id suggest going for a ultrabook also, check
or Z500 (with GT740M)

By the way, Id consider U410 to Z500 if you want more battery life
Also one yhing you must keep in mind while buying ultrabooks is that they dont come with a DVD RW..
