I'll be grateful to you guys :) :)

Thank You

the first 2 hav the 1st gen i5 so i wouldn't recommend it ...

you never mentioned ur purpose of buying...
if u want it for playing latest games then forget about the onboard graphics..

the y570 costing 47,490 u havnt mentioned which graphics card but i guess its a gud 1 ..try to find which card it is....

I dont know anything about N12P-GV

the 525M is far more powerful than the 520M...(remember dell doesnt provides optimus)

happy laptop hunting...:twisted:

Aug 31, 2011 at 7:12 AM
i use it mostly for 3d modelling or rendering in maya. Even gaming and HD movies comes below this Graphics :) ;)


which among the 4 can i choose or do u have any other brand equivalent to the above mentioned

1.Dell 15R U540724IN8
Core i5 Second 2410M 1x4GB DDR3 1333MHZ 640GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M - 1GB HDMI eSATA Mouse,srnd audio 15.6" Rs.43,520

2.Lenovo Y570 59-301914
Core i5 Second 2410M 4GB DDR3 750GB 1GB DDR5 HDMI eSATA Win7HP 15.6" 1yr Onsite warranty
Rs.47,490

3.Lenovo Z570 59-304310 or 59-304896
Core i5 Second 2410M 4GB DDR3 750GB 1GB DDR3 Nvidia GeForce GT 520M HDMI eSATA 15.6" 2 year warranty
Rs.42,740

4.Lenovo Z570 59-303702
Core i5 Second 2410M 4GB DDR3 750GB 1GB DDR3 Nvidia GeForce GT 520M HDMI eSATA 15.6" 2 year warranty
Rs.43,740

the 525M is far more powerful than the 520M...(remember dell doesnt provides optimus)

what does the optimus thing do here. does it provide any other support to the graphics
smartyrohan12
Aug 31, 2011 at 9:05 AM
again the graphics card in Lenovo Y570 59-301914 is not specified but if i am correct then its a NVIDIA 550M (optimus enabled)
..now the 550M is more or less similar to 6750M provided in HP dv4-3016tx..check here HP Pavilion dv4-3000 Entertainment Notebook PC series Home & Home Office

so choose as u wish considering screen size

now for optimus:
Nvidia Optimus is an optimization technology created by Nvidia to save battery life by automatically switching the power of the dedicated graphics card off when it is not needed and switching it on when needed again. When the GPU power is off, the driver redirects graphics processes to the integrated graphics chip (e.g. Intel GMA). In ati manual switching is provided.

Lenovo 570-301914 .is ruled out...it goes beyond my budget....

but i get more focus on
Dell 15R U540724IN8
Core i5 Second 2410M 1x4GB DDR3 1333MHZ 640GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M - 1GB HDMI eSATA Mouse,srnd audio 15.6" Rs.43,520


i browsed almost all sites no other brand ( hp,lenovo,acer) equals this model ( wrt to the GPU )
@ this cost i get a fewer GPU in other brands....everything goes beyond NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M as per performance

so can i go for it.....this model comes with a interchanging lid,usb mouse and Case Werkz Professional Backpack and also has a single stick 4GB ddr3 ram with 1 unused memory slot.
smartyrohan12
Sep 1, 2011 at 9:08 AM
yah the only problem with dell is they dont provide powerful GPU at low prices ..everything else is good.( including after sales service)... btw what kind of games u would like to play.??

can u tell me which site did u searched all these models..?

If you're concerned about the GPU, the HP dv4 3016tx or the 3015tx and a couple of models from Acer are miles ahead of the Dell mentioned above. and they all fall under 44k...

sites:
home site of all brands
Flipkart.com: Online Shopping India: Buy Books Online: Mobiles, Cameras, Laptops, Accessories
www.deltapage.com/list/laptop.pdf ( chennai - where we get things little cheaper than other dealers )

Games: not much except NFS HP
but i need a good GPU for 3d modelling in MAYA


@pranav0091
both the models u mentioned does not have a 15.6'' display...

but can u please rank the following gpu.
» AMD Radeon HD 6490M
~ 27%
Entry to middle class graphics card based on the Seymore XT codename with support for fast GDDR5. The chip can be clocked at
700-750 with GDDR5 and 800 with slow DDR3.
GPU 700 / 750 / 800 MHz, 160 - unified, DX11 | Memory 800 MHz, 64 Bit

» NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M~ 29%
Based on the GeForce GT 425M with slightly higher clock speeds.
GPU 600 MHz, 96 - unified, DX11 | Memory 900 MHz, 128 Bit

» NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M
~ 36%
Performance graphics card for laptops based on the old 400M series but with support for DDR3 with 900MHz.
GPU 740 MHz, 96 - unified, DX11 | Memory 900 MHz, 128 Bit

these models of ACER ASPIRE looks good but are ACER brands reliable and have a good rating ???

AS5755G-2414G75Mnks
smartyrohan12
Sep 3, 2011 at 12:39 PM
my opinion is that the 550M is most powerful among these then the 525m and after that the AMD gpu...

about the acer, i have been asking the same question in the forum but not much response about it...

dmanojkmr #10
Sep 3, 2011 at 5:30 PM
thanq mate....but that acer series mentioned above comes with a good GPU Nvidia Geforce 550m with 2 gb memory ,750GB , (usb 2 & 3) at 44k. and its look is appealing too compared to Inspiron 15R ( only usb 2 ),650 GB

HP DV4 3016TX @ 42k has a much better GPU. 40% better.

If you don't want 14", HP DV6 3140TX @ 48k. It also has a quad core i7.

@pranav0091
both the models u mentioned does not have a 15.6'' display...

agreed, but at the same resolution (1366*768) you are effectively getting the same real estate on the screen. the only thing is thet each of the pixels will be marginally larger, which depending on usage patterns, is not necessarily a good thing. and the increase in size...

if you still want 15.6'' then go for 6140tx as Ishu said.

Sep 4, 2011 at 7:23 PM

thank you once again for your help guys ....i'm badly in need of it.....

Not exactly the same config. 3016tx has an i5 2410 and a ATI HD6750HD... @~43k

Sep 4, 2011 at 11:01 PM
actually i don't want asus as i can't find a service center in my place.
HP thing is good but it would be a little costlier when i get it offline. or through dealers.
ok fine i'll ask the price tomorrow and will let u know about it....

Is that HP model has 64 bit processor ??
Ishu Gupta
Sep 4, 2011 at 11:08 PM
Yes 64bit.

And its actually cheaper offline. Bargain.

It is really rocking....the battery is holding the breadth for 3 hrs ( File copying, Maya installation, watching movies all at the same time ) hope it can carry on further with a single task running.
I was astonished to see it at ambient temp even after doing the above stuffs ( don't know from where those heats are going off )
The switchable graphics aids a lot in accessing different programs.

will post rest of my reviews after a week
