Guys pls suggest some VFM models and specify the one u wil pick from those ...

Its for photoshop and gaming...

Requirements :

*Core i7 Quad core(preferably 3rd gen)

*Ram max expandable to 16gb (atleast 8gb)

*15.6" screen or more (Preferably Full HD)

*GPU : Better than 540M(630M) (preferably near HD 6770M performance range)

*USB 3.0


And till now only laptops i liked is : HP DV6 7010TX and HP DV6 6165TX

7010tx has only 630m and no FHD - only cons i see
6165tx has no FHD and 2nd gen i7 - cons here

If u hav come across any better laps meeting most of my requirements then please reply ...

Those two laptops are the best you can get with the budget. Go with 7010x for newer processor and beats audio speakers but weaker graphics or with 6165tx with older processor but better graphics than 7010tx.

There are no laptops with all features you have asked for. So, first increase your budget or drop your priorities.

^^ Yeah some Ivy bridge laptops will come soon.
Between these 2 both are nearly same except that HP has a upgradability option for RAM while Asus doesn't also Asus speakers arn't that good. Can't say about HP but I heard that it have some heating issues not sure though.

Doesn't look like heating up, does it ?

My latop is running from 8 am and how many of you guys jealous? :mrgreen:

And the Asus doesn't come with preinstalled OS, so you will need 6.5k for that, so there's no price difference.

^This is due to A/C man. Just 5-10° at least for normal conditions.

I am also a college boy and I use desktop because I play PC Games a lot. Laptops are simply not meant for pure gaming.

The HP would fit your bill I guess..

If you can, check out the Asus N55SF as well.. FHD+i7

Does FHD have visible effect in watching movies???Is the video quality visibly better??
(In games i believe FHD means - needs better GPU and better gaming graphics)

"I am also a college boy and I use desktop because I play PC Games a lot. Laptops are simply not meant for pure gaming."


^ This is what you should be paying attention to. You can get a gaming capable lappie but as gameranand say,laptops are not meant to be gaming devices.

That being said,given your priorities the k55vm should be the best option for you. However if you cannot live with the gt 630m then wait for newer laptops to arrive with the 635m/640m.


And yes an FHD screen is far better that the average laptop display. and yes if you plan on gaming at 1080p with high details you do need a good gpu for that.

Yes there will be a lot of difference in Full HD.

As for FHD
Movies - feels quite better
Games - you need a very powerful gpu to play games or current new games or future games would give you nightmares and I mean it. A 630M can't even run Skyrim and witcher 2 properly on high details.

^ Absolutely right. :\ sad that the resolution takes such a hit on the games.

An option is lowering resolutions and playing the games at 720p though.

Thanks NoasArcAngel
Acer ultra m3,its a good finding but..
.. seems good for gaming alone ... but processor is too weak cos its dual core n only 1.7Ghz!!!
and only max 4GB ram!!
BTW where did u find it in india??and the price??its available in india??

and please do post any good gaming rig near 60k when released in india...
