posting frm mobile, hence cnt copy-paste da questionare.

i3 , 1gb nvidia gt 540, 4gb ram...this is what i need in da lap...okay if an ati equivalent card is there..

why you make double threads?

get Acer Aspire 5755G. Pretty much the bang for buck laptop for your budget :wink:

Don't create multiple threads and please don't use sms lingo.

A

Sorry for making multiple threads. i was using a phone to browse yesterday. it said error when i tried to create threads, but the threads were created.

is acer the only option? i was thnking of len y/z series or hp or asus..

also please specify the price/laptop listing i'll be buying online.

A

What about Acer TimelineX 4830TG ?

A

@^^I need a 1 gb gfx card

HP Laptop Is this card equivalent to 540m?

No its not equivalent. The card on that lappy is a low-end one.

6470 is not even half powerful as 540. you'll need a HD66XX gpu or GT630.

I think this is the best option in your budget:
Asus X53SC-SX492D

A

Thnks!!

one more doubt, how is gt610m and gt630? i couldn't find much info on 610m online.

i blv gt520>gt520m> 520mx >> 540m.

Where will the 6xx stand among these? i read that 610m better than 520's.can anyone confirm that?

hw better is 540 from the 610 and 610 from the 520?

another question.
what does the amount of ram in gfx card signify? hw is it important? i read it dosen't improve performance.why/why not?

thank you.
i'd be buying the acer5755g / asus k53sd this week based on your answers.

if asus is not much poor than acer performance vise i'm planning to choose asus.

also which is better by how much.
acer i3-2.2ghz,1gb gt540m/ asus i3-2.3ghz,2gb gt610m.

which one would you choose considering the brands along with the config.

one more doubt, how is gt610m and gt630? i couldn't find much info on 610m online.

Nvidia GT 610M is the re-branded version of older dGPU Nvidia GT 520M. Its harder to find drivers of 610M. I hope nVidia is working on it.
Whereas 630M is re-branded version of GT 540M.

opposite. 610 is a lower clocked 520.

AKP said:

540/630 is lot better. can run almost any game at descent framerates. 610/520M/X will lag in modern games.

AKP said:

cards upto 520MX can't properly use even 512Mb VRAM. 1Gb is given but i doubt if any game ever used full ram.

for 540M or 630M, 1Gb is more than sufficient. also 1Gb GDDR5 ram >>> 2Gb GDDR3 ram.

AKP said:
acer i3-2.2ghz,1gb gt540m/ asus i3-2.3ghz,2gb gt610m.

in games Acer will thrash the Asus lappy.

Think of it like this:

You have a car (VRAM) and the road's width & traffic condition is card's speed. Until and unless the road is wide enough (obviously with no/less traffic), you can't expect to drive a ferrari (read large amount of VRAM) on it. Thus, all the potential power of ferrari left unused. Similarly, you got the widest road but driving a luna

(super fast card + very low VRAM), you can expect the condition.

Hope this explains.

^^ now why this example looks so familiar. wait. i was the one who gave this eg (truck in small road vs car in 4 lane highway) a year ago :-x

Credit goes to Ishu for that. Sorry Sam , but I didn't read yours

A

thanks a lot. i didn't expect so much help.

i'm wanting to buy acer, but my uncle had a bad time w/ his acer, so my parents will be reluctant to buy me the same.

so can anyone suggest me other laps better performance than asus.
30k < price < 35k.

an i5 with 520 or i3 with 520.

i'm considering asus with i5,630 at 40k for last resort

I think this laptop is also good configuration wise for you - MSI Gaming Laptop X460DX (Black)
It has i5 processor and Nvidia gt540m at around 33k,, though i don't know much about how good build quality and after sales services MSI laptops have..!!!

great find

for 33k this one beats almost any laptop under 35k. but MSI doesn't have service center in all cities. else this would be a terrific gaming laptop.

Holysmokes! This is a beast for 32K! If its true, dude you are invited for a beer.

msi is trouble bigtime!!!!!

You want a gaming laptop, with best config, paise bhi kam lagne chahiye & brand should also be of your choice. Better don't buy laptop.

The configuration of the MSI laptop looks good, but I doubt the build quality and guys how is its service and all?

It is up for grabs from letsbuy,, so seems legit.
And about the beer,, your place or mine..!!! :mrgreen:

This is what i doubt too.. :-?

Built wise, MSI users have reported very positive, but can't say about service issue as its area dependent.

Saw some youtube reviews of MSI. Machine looks very slim and thin, some reviewers also compared it with an ultrabook.
I wonder why LB is giving so much discount? something fishy.

Letsbuy has a habit of giving discount. Ask me

.

I think they will be reducing the prices more then, since it appears that LB is trying to clear the stock

offtopic: Any experience with LB? Do they offer 30 days return like FK?

^^ Ask the mod above you. :wink:

He has had good experience with LB.
And regarding MSI's service, its handled by Digicare Smart Link, the firm which also handles RMA for Intel, Strontium, Beetle, Zotac, Digisol, etc. So, its a must in most cities.

^In my city I had seen Accel frontline handling MSI.

Accel handle MSI laptop? usually these companies choose multiple 3rd party service partners. Accel for Laptops. Digicare for their computer parts, etc [JUST AN EXAMPLE].

and good news is Accel have really impressive service record. not like the bunch of suckers from Rashi.

I ordered the Msi. Thanks a lot for the find.
I was searching everywhere for msi Laps and you just showed me an online link to buy. I almost gave up hope

BTW msi laptops have good reliability.My sis is in UK and she said msi were in demand in UK and that if I could find one here I should consider that.

Congrats man.. It was the last piece that you bought.. :doublethumb:

Thanks..I called up letsbuy and they promised to make delivery by wednesday.

i was considering ordering a 4gb ddr3 ram along with it.but i don't know much technical aspects about it.
so again asking question.

can i pair 4gb ddr3 stick with a 1gb? or do i remove 1gb and place a single 4 gb stick.?

also whats the frequency, or is there a laptop standard? i thought of waiting for machine to arrive to chk all these..

All thanks to you mate.i searched the site for msi and they showed me all out of stock results and didn't check the gaming notebook section thinking they will be alienwares.

i asked my friends in chennai and banglore to look for msi laps locally, and when i logged in to ask the same here.

you posted a link!!i was like OMG.

^^ it has 2Gb ram. and if it has a free ram slot, 4Gb stick can be added. but do check if it has any free slot. else you'll be wasting money.

for laptop 1066 or 1333Mhz is the standard. go for 1333Mhz. if it is not supported, it'll auto downclock to 1066Mhz.

640gb hdd
gt540m 2gb gddr3
14''hd 1366x768 led panel

also how do i find if my 2gb ram is single stick or 2x1gb?
Laptop has two ram slots.

planning to add a 4gb.

^Run CPUZ. Its 2GB * 1.
