Use proper thread title from next time. Thread title like "Help", "Confused" won't help getting you replies. Members will just ignore the thread.

avoid ultrabooks for gaming. those can hardly play any modern games with low voltage processor being used and even the graphics card is downclocked. and gaming can cause the laptop to heat up to really high level.

avoid snapdeal. it is a shopping platform much like Tradus, eBay or BuyThePrice.

In that case is Inspiron 14R Special Edition (7420) BTX Base a good choice?

The Hp model is an ultrabook and the samsung one is for mainstream gaming...choice depends on what you need..
If those 2 are the only things u preferred, then go for samsung np550 if u are into much gaming...

avoid snapdeal...it is just crap..

NP550 has terrible heating and throttling issues, not recommended, go with this eyes closed: Dell Inspiron 15R Turbo laptop | Dell India

Samsung Np550P S04IN is recommended because heating issues have been solved in new laptops compared to Old ones.
