6) Anything else you would like to say?

This thread is just for me ref,I might be getting it though if my parents agree...The laptop should be really good enough not like cheap acer laptops,My present acer laptop just sucks.
The laptop should be decent enough for gaming(Esp dota),1080P screen would be good,or maybe even 1600x900 would do for me.
Brands I prefer
Lenovo,Dell,HP
Brands I hate
ACER

Backlight keyboard,A good built quality like Lenovo.

Wait for Maxwell I guess.
Lenovo Z510 is the best in this budget, just 3k more.

Lol, I don't think 5th gen will arrive until the end of this year.Besides the area of focus on laptop proccys is shifting towards energy efficiency(low TDP), lower heat dissipation and not performance.

The only performance improvements Broadwell(5th gen) promises is in the IGPU area.

Cheers!

Ohk

I will wait still august or diwali for a new laptop

Let's see..
1)Maxwell incoming.
2)Broadwell incoming. It will improve performance no matter what. The previous die shrink improved performance massively (Sandy to Ivy) wherein a simple mid range i7(3630QM) beat the sandy bridge extreme chip(2920XM) in terms of performance.

I would suggest you should wait for both.

Performance increase should be in lower end too. Save up more money xD

For update go to charm bar and click change pc setting and then update
Stick with the bundled version but if in case you want to update it go to Windows store and the first thing you see will be update if you haven't got one to pack 1
Get satellite speakers
Try CNET for Windows walk-through. Hope I helped :-D
