Hello everyone I am planning to buy a laptop that will be mainly used for gaming. Since I live in a hostel I have no need for long battery life.

I have shortlisted 3 laptops.
1. HP Envy 14(Base model)
2. Dell XPS 15
3. Acer TimelineX 4820T( The one with i5 460m and ATi 5650)

I am going to buy one this december.

And my range is 50k.

Sorry about not posting links. I am using crappy phone.

What do you say about Acer TimelineX 4820T

Can't say about Acer notebooks. Once had an Acer Aspire desktop, it was a terrible experience & the A.S.S. from RT Outsourcing (Kolkata) was the worst, then onwards boycotted Acer. But don't know how they fair in the notebook department.

Acer TimelineX 4820T spec looks good, if 14" display is what you want. See some reviews and then decide. But Asus - K42JA / HP - 3057tx or 3049tx / Sony - Vaio VPCEB, have got more to offer. :)

HP Dv6-3057tx

HP Dv6-3057tx and HP Dv6-3056tx have the same config but I could find a review of the 3057tx where I read that it runs really hot.. But no idea about any heating problem on 3056tx.

By the way my final option is Dell XPS 15

3056tx is same as the 57tx, except color. I think it'll have the same heating issue.

Theres also dv6-3130TX (XV754PA), *maybe* an updated product line. But heating problem, don't know :(
