Hi,

I want to buy a new laptop. My budget is 40-45k.

Please suggest me some....

I have searched the net and found Dell 1525 & Dell 1530 suiting my budget and requirements (formal gaming and programming). Other laptops in same range(sony,lenovo,ect) seems to have lower config wrt Dell.


Thanks in advance:D

Slightly increase your budget and go for Dell 1520.Read the review of 1520 in "Review" section.

I checked the Dell site and compared 1520 with 1525.

At same configuration 1520=>Rs. 54k ; 1525=>Rs. 50k
The only difference was in the video card 1525 had X3100 whereas 1520 had nvidia 8600M GT.

So is nvidia worth 4k

XPS M1530=>58k:( Too high.

I can at max stretch till 1520.

Other than Dell is there any other lapy in the same range??(better than 1520)

Also should I go for T5450 or T7250 the price difference is 5k

Look for Dell Studio 15 (or) Acer Aspire 5738G these are the best ones which have a graphic card below 50K. At my city Acer Aspire 5738G comes with blue ray reader (not writer) price is something near to 45K.
