Asus ftw!!

If you want a mix of both portability and uber gaming laptop, go for the Alienware. :D
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 8:51 PM
Asus ftw but which model???

Alienware which model???14x or 17x or 18x?????

May 28, 2013 at 9:17 PM
Alienware is costly......14x @ 80k give specs of Y500 but with better cooling & faster HDD
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 9:31 PM
Ohh so if its costly then its wise to have a look at ideapad y500....

But i heard it supports sli. Is sli model avail in india i mean online???

Why don't you wait for Haswell notebooks?
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 9:48 PM
Haswell is only 15%-20% powerful than ivy + prices will be high for them when it releases....
pratyush997
May 28, 2013 at 9:50 PM
^ They should boost Battery life.
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 9:56 PM
Yeah leave haswell do u have any recommendations
pratyush997
May 28, 2013 at 9:59 PM
Asus G75VX from US then.
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 10:04 PM
Naa dont want to deal internationally.

How about y500???
pratyush997
May 28, 2013 at 10:23 PM
It's a pretty good product but if you aren't getting it ASAP, wait for Y500 with GT 750M.

Well, in that case you got only 2 options.
Y500 or Alienware( Overpriced).
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 10:53 PM
I like y500 but gt 650m is little bit weak dont you think??!

May 28, 2013 at 10:55 PM
^ Yeah, it is.
Vintech009
May 28, 2013 at 11:16 PM
I want my lappy to run crysis 3 and bf3 in medium-high.
Though not in full res ill cut down the res
pratyush997
May 28, 2013 at 11:20 PM
Y500 can manage it. But if future proofing is concerned, I don't think so.
Vintech009
May 29, 2013 at 3:04 AM
Yeah future-proffing is more imp to me because we can see in the near future the games are becoming gpu intensive
pratyush997
May 29, 2013 at 9:18 AM
^ Then you got an only option to wait
Vintech009
May 29, 2013 at 9:35 AM
No cant wait like i said before i am moving in 15 days and want to purchase nowonly...
Vintech009
May 29, 2013 at 10:01 AM
Totally :agreed: ....
Any other suggestion other than y500 :hyper:

Crysis 3 runs smoothly in med-high settings with 2x AA & FHD resolution....

Y500 is great but you can get much better laptop with your budget

SLI isn't available in India, yet.
Check out a few gaming laptops @ibhejo.com , it's a trusted service.

ASUS G55VW

It's con is only 500GB HDD but its 7200rpm.....Ask them about warranty, I think ASUS has international warranty

Finally out of nowhere.....

Hdd doesnt matter because i have 2 external hdds.
How many % is gt660m powerful than gt650m???

@gtb93 thanks ill check that site

if you want it urgently, go for the laptop anupam_pb posted.
Else, do what I'm doing.. wait for Intel's 4th gen Haswell range. Their onboard gpus(the highest variant) is supposed to be at par with the 650m. The laptops carrying 4th gen are also poised to have 40-50% more battery life along with being more power efficient. The laptops will also be sleeker than current gen. Plus with the new gen we might see newer cards come to India, like radeon 8870m or the nvidia 750m(at par with 660m).

edit: for the difference b/w 650 and 660, watch gameplay videos of Y500 for 650m's performance, and y580 for 660m's performance.

How abt this lappy

Dell Inspiron 17R Turbo Laptop - Performance laptops from Dell

Specs looks good on the papers...

regarding price well I do not think that they will too high coz both laptop and desktops are facing a big decline in their demand and pricing that at a very high price will put the final nail in the coffin for intel coz amd is doing good at low budget sector. It is the intel who have to deliver a vfm product for those who are waiting for 4th gen, or else one can always go and buy a 3rd gen lappy. Rumors are that we can see new range of laptops in nearly 1st week of launch of 4th gen coz processors and all is already shipped to manufacturers for the production, but in that initial 1st lot of laptop there will be no usb 3.0 support coz a bug due to which the launch which was planned for may got pussed to june but intel is still working onit hope they find a way out ASAP.

Dude seriously, Dell India are charging 30k more for 17r turbo than the normal prices. Don't buy a gt650m at 90K+.
Inspiron 17r turbo from Dell US: Link 1 or Link 2 at 62k.

Get the Asus G75VX instead: Link
costs about 1220 USD ~= Rs 70k
15k for shipping
so, 85k you have the best performer with International Warranty

someone bought a G75VW in the forum. link

Check this out, released just today. And you can probably find it at Nehru Place, as they sell Razer products. The Razer Blade Pro | Work Hard. Play Hard. - YouTube

Lets just hope it comes under your budget.
Vintech009
May 31, 2013 at 7:06 AM
Under my budget. No!!!! Ill shell out my all money on this. This is a beast laptop. Moreover in india the prices will be high compared to us

May 31, 2013 at 8:07 AM
That's true considering Y500 costs $850 in US & here its approx $1200
KyleSforza
May 31, 2013 at 9:57 AM
Seeing Razer's current line up, The prices are usually same as Europe and US, as Razer is an asian company. :p (or its just full of Asians o_O )

That's true considering Y500 costs $850 in US & here its approx $1200
It 'starts' from $850 in USA. :p
Vintech009
May 31, 2013 at 10:22 AM
So what should i do. Buy a Razer Blade or someother else.
KyleSforza
May 31, 2013 at 10:27 AM
Are you from Delhi? If yes, wait a week max and then check at Nehru Place. If from any other state, check the computer market there. :p

Something tells me Razer Blade will be much cheaper than Alienwares.
Vintech009
May 31, 2013 at 10:41 AM
No im not from delhi im from bangalore....

How much do u think will be the price of Razer Blade Pro when it comes to india, just a rough estimation????
KyleSforza
May 31, 2013 at 6:11 PM
I'm guessing around 90k. Max can be 1 lakh 10k.
KyleSforza
Jun 1, 2013 at 3:05 AM
Blade (not pro) won't be priced under 1 L 6k
Don't you sometimes wish you were a game developer? Cause if you were, you'd get the 'PRO' cheaper than a Series 5. :p

Razer launches 14-inch Blade, 17-inch Blade Pro gaming notebooks with Intel Haswell processors | ZDNet

Yet the 14 incher blade starts from $1,799 = Rs. 101634

Pre orders start from June 3.

Oh, btw.
Check out global easy buy @ebay.in section. The cost they show includes everything from shipping to customs to handling etc etc. I saw some pretty good MSI and Asus ROG laptops in there for sale within your budget.
Vintech009

@KyleSforza
No. But would love to buy from ebay.

@Gtb93
Man you are awesome. That is one pure hassle free way of buying products around the globe. Ill sure check on to dat
KyleSforza
Jun 2, 2013 at 7:29 AM
That's what I was referring too, but Gtb explained it before me :p

If you purchase from Ebay.com, you'll have to go through hassles of shipping and custom, but if you make a purchase from ebay.in global deals section, its completely hassle free and all inclusive. :)

Here's another new launch, just came today too. And Razer recommends it :

*www.msi.com/product/nb/GE40-2OC-Dragon-Eyes.html

From Razer's facebook page :

"If you frequent my page, you'll see that I often recommend other gaming brands like Alienware, because I believe our mission here at Razer is to evangelize PC gaming, not just our own brand and products.

At Razer, we don't design to a budget/price point, but for a very discerning group of users who appreciate the best in technology and design. It's like designing for Ferrari/Lamborghini/Bugatti vs a Ford or a Toyota. While we'll want to bring price points down, our first priority is always the best tech and design vs price.

However, there are always alternatives for PC gamers on a smaller budget.

For example, Taiwanese brand MSI just announced their 14" gaming laptop, and while I'm not a big fan of the build quality of their laptops, it's a cheaper alternative to the Blade.

While the MSI 14" laptop has:

- Less performance to the new Razer Blade (GTX 760M vs the Blade's GTX765M)

- Double the weight and thickness of the new Razer Blade (thickness: 1.18" vs 0.66"/weight 9.1lbs vs 4lbs")

It's probably going to be a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Blade and will present a good option for PC gamers who want something cheaper but are fine with something thick/heavy. I haven't seen it myself but I'll assume it's a plastic chassis with some metal finishes vs an all aluminum chassis like the Blade.

My vision is to bring PC gaming to as many gamers out there - and it's not just with Razer but with Alienware, Origin, MSI, etc and all the other companies that bring more choice to PC gamers out there.

So it's really a matter of choice, if you want something powerful and thin, we're probably the only company in the world designing stuff like that for gamers. But if you're on a budget and you're fine with thick and heavy - there are some great options too!"
