with that budget, look for MSI and ASUS laptops too. They have superb gaming models.

People wanting to buy in Mumbai can contact Kunal Sarvaiya (I. T. Concepts) on 98194 87755. I do all my hardware purchasing, AMC, etc. through him since almost 3 years. I have recommended him to plenty of other people and no one has been dis-satisfied. Even if I have to pay little extra than others, I would still go to him for the buying tips and recommendations that I get from him. Genuine advise, not salesmanship!

He doesn't have a retail shop. So probably there are no walk-in customers for him. I guess his business runs on word-of-mouth publicity.

He works from an office.

Try to customise and get a better graphics card. Might add 5k to that figure, but it's worth it.

What is your purpose? Gaming? Business use? Graphics designing? Portability? What?

We recently took a VAIO for my partner for around 60k. 3 GB RAM, 512 MB (or may be 256 MB) graphics card, etc. Will post exact specs tomorrow.

A friend bought a Compaq 6730B for business use.

Is it not in the right direction? I am showing him someone who can give him proper informed advise. 10 days of discussion here could be similar to 10 mins of discussion with this guy :)
