Fora budget of approx 50K and lesser, DO NOT expect the so called very good graphics...but expect good graphics.. :)

THe HP's DV series comes with the 9xxx series of gpu where as the DELL XPS series of lappy's comes with 8xxx series of gpu..

but u can customise ur DELL lappy as per ur needs (not on the gpu part) for the XPS series...
