Heard buying HP will be risky becoz they isolated their PC manufacturing section so may discontinue service support soon..

Geeks plz help me asap..

First Do you need 15.6' or 14'?
If you do not see much movies and want a bit more portable then get the HP DV4-3016tx its around 40-42k but has superb HD6750 graphics and its also manual switching graphics so there is no problem with using Linux

If you want a 15.6' and use for programming,Photoshop and light gaming you can go with Toshiba L750-X5317 It has nVidia 525m(N12P-LP) graphics, same as Dell XPS15 which is a bit weaker costs 42-43k

If you want Games then look no further than HP dv6 6140tx with HD6770m for 48-50k

If u are ok with 14' also you get same 1366x768 on both 14 and 15.6 so you wont loose any screen realestate only thing is the display is bit small also falls within 42k, If you can spend bit more i.e 48k also only If you need i7 processor and 15.6 screen.Both dv4 3016tx and dv6 6140tx have 2 USB 3.0 ports.
New Gen Intel core processors are both Cool and energy efficient

hp build quality is better than toshiba.DV series simply rocks.I suggested a dv4 3015 for a friend who is also a gamer and that thing is simply superb.Nice design, 6750m graphics,2 USB3, HD webcam etc..

i3 or i5?

will i need i5.or i3 be sufficient.. I likes to play nfs shift nd later(not seriously though :-D

) so i can choose among dv4 3015tx or 3016tx..

The dealer in ma area says hp stopped producing dv4-301x series and the available ones are projected to abt 45k.. :cry:

nd he says hp will increase rates soon. should i wait or buy at these price?? :neutral:

i cant buy from flipkart bcoz they dont accepts Demand Drafts/Cheques.. nd my bank provides me only DD.

Also the dealer says u cant buy from online sites like flipkart bcoz this will make complications during services.. !! :???:

is that true??

Your dealer is spouting BS and flipkart has Cash on Delivery option.

Go for dv6 3016tx. i5 is a great proccy and somewhat future proof too

How much is 3 years extended full cover for dv4 cost....
Is it wise to choose 3 yrs extended accidential cover or 3 yrs onsite suffice????

You can go for either. Gaming wise it doesn't make a difference in today's games, but might be useful in future.
