I've narrowed my search onto a Dell XPS Studio 16 config.
My budget is 70k.

I've selected Vista Home Premium 64 bit coz i wanted 4gb ram.
What I like abt the XPS 16 is it supports DDR3 (which Im particular abt).

However, the only thing thats stopping me from picking it is its PXXXX processor. An upgrade to a T9XXX processor is 14k which is too much. The T series has 6mb cache as opposed to the P series 3mb. Thats a huge difference in performance.

Im not into heavy gaming, just average, mid-datail graphics, so I think the HD3670 is fine.

So, do you have any other suggestions?

I have ordered the Dell XPS Studio 16 last week... There some shipment problem so wait for one more week before u place ur order...


There is no other laptop in this price range... which has the same config and quality..

I added 4 gb 64bit os and lether sleeve and TV turner card. My expected delivery date is on before 6 april so if u can wait i will give u a review and can clarify all ur doubts..

And one more thing this lappy supports Quard Core Processor even though u don't have the option to upgrade it in the site.. the motherboard supports it. u can choose a mid range processor and after the Q-core prices decresses u can just change the processor... :)

It supports quad core?
Lol, the built in processor is 35W, and it can support 45W, putting in a 135W quad core processor is gonna melt you laptop. Its not practical, possible yes. Almost like sticking a shuttle engine onto a 20 yr old maruti
