DELL INSPIRON 15R comes in your budget and also has medium to high gaming capabilities, but i doubt it will play Max Payne 3 in high settings because it is one those graphic intensive games.

Definitely Core i5. You can't even compare A8 with it.

regardless of it having i3/i5 or A8. most of these will have problem running modern games at high and simply no to MP3 at high. You need a better GPU like GT650M in samsung 550 but cost 50-52k.

If you can sell out ~42k, 3rd gen i5 + 7670M is a safe bet as i5 is much better than A8. If you want to to save money and still want to try all games at mid-high, grab A8 based one. Remember gaming performance of A8 or i3/i5 is almost same but in cpu intense applications i5 excels.

Obvious choice, go for HP. Dell is overpriced and has nothing more when compared to HP, neither A.S.S of dell is better nor life of components.
So get HP and save yourself from the misery.

The 2nd one with backpack , warranty , 4gb pen drive , cleaning kit and keyboard guard.

dell is costing rs 43800 with bluetooth headset , backpack and warranty just 1year.

Check that HP laptop on this link. but i suggest you too buy HP laptop through a local dealer...you will get it for 40K if you have bargaining skills...don't worry...Infibeam is also a trusted online shopping site. and apply this coupon code GREEN2012 while proceeding to pay the amount...you will get Rs 2000 discount...so the total amount is Rs 39,662.
