thnks bro...ll look at it

Dell XPS 14: core i3/i5 and GT240 graphics.

check this model: The Dell Online Store: Build Your System

core i5 460M
nvidia GT420 (corrected, thanks to modder for pointing out)
14" display
4GB DDR3
500GB HDD
should cost you around 50k
Similar config with 15.6" should cost 2k more.

Sony side, check VPCEB36FG : E Series : VAIO Laptop & Computer : Sony India

thnks dessibond.....

bro which brand should i go for? And Among Dell and Sony which one is better

Go for Dell laptop with RGBLED display. reports say that it's image reproduction and clarity is better than Sony's FullHD displays. If possible, go for Complete Cover warranty. 3yrs or peace-of-mind.

from trustedreviews:

Let us rewind a little, though, to explain what we're actually talking about here. Chances are you'll have heard of LED backlit screens; they're very common among netbooks and any notebook whose aim is to be thin and light. However, RGB LED is the name given to a display that uses red, green and blue (hence RGB) LEDs, as opposed to just white LEDs as a backlight.
As a result the display in the Studio XPS 16 can reach something approaching 100 per cent of the Adobe RGB colour space, giving this machine one of widest colour gamuts you'll see on a notebook. This is great for watching films or TV, but is arguably of more import to anyone editing images, where the high colour accuracy is of particular interest.

^+1 absolutely true

also see (this is how Dell XPS 15 looks like):

Dell XPS 15 L501 *Owner's Lounge* - Page 2

Dell XPS 15

3rd option
core i3 370, 500 gb HDD, 1 gb nvidia 420, blu-ray BD palyer and 15.6" Full-HD (1920*1080) B+RGLED display in 56k...

CPU may be less powerfull then core i5 but blu-ray player and FullHD screen are big addons.

Guys due to some reasons i was unable to buy a laptop..Pls refer a gud lappy for me once again...My budget is 50-60K

Go for Sony vaio vpcea36fg...rs 58k

Wait for intel sandy bridge.

Do you have any estimate, when manufacturers would start shipping their laptops with sandy-bridge processors ?

I don't think that its worth waiting.

N

^^^ actually today there is an advertisement in newspaper - lenovo's y560p with intel core i7 2630M and ATI 1GB graphics available in 58190*.
That's why I said 'wait for sandy bridge'

K

hey but intel said me
Hi Kishor, our processors are shipping to our OEM customers now.
Quad-core systems became available January 9th.
Dual-core systems will be available beginning later in February. Thanks!
so i dont think u need to wait for 2 months they are comin as soon as possible even dell have launched these processor in their Alienware M17X
n dell wil launch sandy bridge
in its xps line in mid feb
so dont worry dey r comin asap

From what all you have mentioned, a laptop with/ without SandyBridge should work for you, seeing your primary concerns.
Sony Vaio VPCEB36FG or HP DV6 3049TX or Lenovo Y560( It works great). All these are within your bugdet and good performers.

Among Dell Xps and VPCEA36FG which shall i go for

N

^^^ Dell XPS, the one with core i5 480.

Just look at this- The Dell Online Store: Build Your System[/ur l]

Go for DELL XPS 15

Just one suggestion. Whatever you buy , for longevity you should skip the graphics card and make sure you get the 3 year cover. Very very important. Skip on the config if you have budget issues but get the cover.

I have seen a lot of issues with any company's laptop(discrete graphics one)
so i was warning you..
but u can still go for a graphics card and u might not have issues

Be careful while selecting vaios. They will burn ur lap.. check the exhaust on the left side of the vaio laptop when u go to a showroom. C if u r comfortable with such heating

Like I said earlier, at 55k budget, I would pick Dell XPS with the newer LED backlit display. Period!

If sony has so many problems then why people are so crazy in buying that brand

i dun think sony provides full cover warranty

I am facing heating problem and I even checked the new ones at Croma today. The left side runs quite hot compared to lenovo, dell and HP. Some of my friends also have the same problem.

Sony Vaio VPCEB16FG.. Already using belkin cooling pad... Figured out that lowering resolution helps a little bit (1920 to 1600)

Now you can afford to it.
The price is low enough.

Windows 7 Home Premium
Windows 7 Professional
