Required for long duration works. The tasks may include anything from heavy graphics and gaming to web designing.

EDIT:

I'd prefer that function keys can be used with single tap at most instances if not always. I'll also be using it for transferring data (dl/ul using torrents) while sleeping at nights :)

^^ fanboyism is not good.

It is not fanboyism,it is called realism.Anyone with a sane mind will suggest Dell over HCL;-)But for heavy graphics or gaming you will need a better machine.

IMO both manufacturers are at par when it comes to quality.

One thing I know is that HCL one of the pathetic support. Just because a laptop has core i7 doesnt make it superb quality. There is lot more than paper-specs. And I would always pick Dell/HP/Sony/Apple over HCL/Wipro/Zenith etc.

if possible go for 1GB gfx 5470 frm dell instead of 512MB, i recently got a lappy to my frnd with same config but it not studio 15 ??

^^ :agreed: cause acer provides same card for around 45k, so why not sell out 5k more & get a better lappy, by looks & build quality. after all, lappy isn't a PC that will sit in one place till its sold as scrap metal.
