Now after viewing both Samsung and Dell I'm confused that is NVIDIA® GeForce GT650M better or AMD Radeon™ HD 7730M DDR3 2GB - ICC.

Also I want to include that is Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 3,610QM (2.30Hz, 6MB L3 Cache) is better or 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM Processor (6MB cache, up to 3.1 GHz).

Did you consider giving a thought for ASUS ? If not, please look for this option as well. It will suffice your needs.

NVIDIA® GeForce GT650M > AMD Radeon™ HD 7730M DDR3 2GB - ICC
Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM > Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 3612QM
900p > 768p
Therefore,
The Samsung 5 550P > Dell Inspiron 15R SE....

Anyone knows the price of that Samsung's laptop ?

One with the i5 3rd gen processor costs around 50k, the one with i7 costs around 7k more.
Apart from that I personally suggest you to opt for a 14" laptop, light weight, portable and perfect screen size not too small neither too big.And if looks are your priority then you must have a look at Sony VAIO E Series SVE14A16FN

Go for samsung. Best buy today.

And I dont agree with aroraanant regarding display size. I too thought 14" was better till rider suggested me 15" was better. Went to store and looked at both 14" and 15" side by side and HELL YEAH the 15" was better.

And regarding portability:
Inspiron 14r se=2.4kg
Samsung NP550p=2.5kg
A difference of 0.1kg you get a looooot more. Trust me you may regret buying a 14"
And for your requirements 15" samsung np550p i7 version at 56k is the best !!

BTW the new sony E series is UGLY !! Only the S series is good looking. The new E is really bulky and has bad colour schemes(GIRLY !!)

Well I have 3 laptops one 15.4", one 14" and one 13.3". And in real life you won't feel much difference but yes in carrying it everywhere and all will make a difference.

The 3610 has a higher frequency range than the 3612, but the 3612 consumes less power.

So the best one lies part way between those two. ;)

They are both priced equally by intel too. :)

If you can wait till first quarter of next year then you'll probably get proper Win 8 systems. Else this is the best laptop in the market, nothing is even close.

I can wait for only 2-3 months. BTW All companies know that Win 8 will launch in OCT end and you don't need to be a SECRET AGENT that Samsung, Dell, Acer, Asus, HP will launch new products featuring multitouch support for trackpad ! :cool:

So you want to be the beta tester for these companies? :lol:

Fully optimized systems that make full use of Windows 8 will take time.

Multi touch stuff can be enhanced on any of the new trackpads with external softwares.

That isn't the selling point of Windows 8 anyway.

Uumm... I don't think multitouch trackpads are a new thing. And even though companies won't launch some crap but if they even do I'd love to be a beta.... sorry Alpha tester !!!

Anyone knows any upcoming products within this price range ?
Don't worry I can wait for up2 4 months :-D

An alpha test is when developers test it out a product themselves the way a consumer would.

When they fix the issues, and then give it to the consumer to test, then its a beta test. :)

Sony vaios are the first choice for young girls, thats why endorsed by kareena kapoor.. they attract users by features like colours tangy orange, neon green, pink, magenta, nice screen. Generally girls don't play new high end games so poor GPUs of vaios does not matter to them. And 13-14" laptops looks more cute on girls. :mrgreen:

if you can then you should, desktops will give you more than double performance, than the laptops in this price range, if you choose the components wisely.. :twisted:

Why not?? Thats the best way of getting a desktop... Take components according to their reliability and your need.

Assembled PCs are actually better than the one manufactured by the company and also very much cheaper too.
