hey

i use my current desktop pc primarily for gaming, and random browsing, project work etc, and have never owned a laptop before.

now i am planning to invest in a laptop instead of a desktop because i will also need it for work, and ill be moving cities a lot.

i would like some recommendations for gaming laptops. my budget is around 50k and i'm looking for a laptop with a generous sized screen and something that i wont have to replace for atleast 2 years and will be running games smoothly even then.

my preferences are Dell, HP or Sony. Intel or AMD is fine with me. my main criteria is performance in gaming and good display :razz:



looking forward to your replies and thanks in advance

oromis.


P.S : i have heard there are laptops with upgradable gfx cards. is this true?

so what would my budget have to be ? i'm not looking at something at the scale of alienware etc. something which would last me well for 2 years of gaming.

Well if thats the case then make it 100k. Then it will last 2 years of gaming easily.

I would recommend you to buy Asus N53JQ-SZ103V Laptop. It comes with GT 425M card which should be able to handle all current games with fluent framerates but not all with high detail settings. With all new Intel Core i7 inside, this laptop has the power and seamless capabilities to achieve and enjoy more with great power efficiency and a smooth user experience.

i think u shoul go with dell studio xps 14.its really a good lappy for gaming with mid resolution.it gives a i7 prossy and windows 7 home premium 64 bit.about graphics card it will give u nvidia gt 425 whis is really good for mid budget lappy.its screen is vary nice(720P HD LED).u give ur budget 50k so if pay more 10k then the lappy fit ur budget.

For hard gaming u should pay more than 110k then u can see a dell alianware 15x series.
