Dell Laptop query under 62k

M

Well I'm not a regular at the forum so pardon me if I've posted my topic in the wrong section.
I'm thinking of buying a laptop(decent graphics card a must) with a budget under 62k(that's the maxx I can get my parents to shell out after some brilliant pestering tactics......)
Right now Dell seems to b the only one with a very high performance to money ratio.Previously was thinking about Sony Vaio FZ-15g but as it turned out they've discontinued that product.
I will be using my laptop primarily for graphics related applications such as the PS CS3 and also a healthy dose of gaming such as NFS-MW,Carbon,Gears of War (must confess just want to try CRYSIS once.......if its lowest settings that i'll have to b content with then so b it)

Hope I havent wished tooooooo much with my budget restraints..

Right now I'm completely clueless as to which model to choose n customize.

Need ur help guyzzz!!

Looking at the appllications & games you are going to use, its going to be over your said budget.

Anyway, i will be needing more specs which you want like
* Screen size: 14/15/17 "
* Screen Quality & res (1280x800 / 1440x900 / 1680x1050)
* Battery Life: Normal/Bit Extra
* Any concerns about weight
* Processor below 2Ghz or above 2Ghz (also 2MB / 4MB)
* HDD (5400/7200) & Storage capacity

Also, are you bent upon buying only Dell Models ? You could also go in for Sony/HP.

Also if you are willing to spend a little more budget arnd 70K, you will get a better system

and will be worth the Price.

Lemme know man.

Well I cannot consider vaio laptops because the upper models r a little over my budget(the CR series r decent though but however they seem a lil underpowered),havent checked out the HP models(havent heard too much bout HP laptops being performers on the graphics front)

As far as my personal specs for my system go A 2/2+Ghz would be my preference,not concerned about the battery(am going to hv it plugged in for most part of the day).......again the screen size is not too much of a deal..considering 15" right now(at some point I was thinking bout the XPS model with the small screen).........what I'm most concerned about are 3 things
1:-A good processor(at least 2Ghz C2Duo with 2MB cache)
2:-minimum 2 GB of RAM
3:-A good graphics card

the "rest" I'm willing to sacrifice keeping my budget constraints in mind

Is there any hope for me????

Thnkx for all ur help n suggestions guyz,realllyy appreciate it.
I've already kept to vista home premium(that was checked by default),although there was this option to get XP but just didnt feel like working on XP again..!!

^^^^^^^^
yaa..dont go for windows XP.New is always better.There are few problems with vista..but don't worry vista SP1 is coming soon.

M

get a high resolution screen(1440*900) nd downgrade the proc to 2ghz,4mb cache...more screen space is always better !!

If you have 60K budget, why would ou even consider Inspirons...

the XPS1330 is what you should be looking at

The xps m1330 starts at 59.9k excluding taxes.. And it comes wit x3100 onboard gfx.. And also u dont hav an option to configure it wit an 8600m gt

Yes.......insperon 1520 with upgradation is better choise.
