I think this DELL configuration would do just great for you. DOn't pass it, Dell is a good brand and Inspiron 15R is a great lappy for a good price.

I've seen 2 of my friends using dell(inspiron n studio)..
They hav to plug-in the pow. cord while gaming, if not the games lag...

Thats y afraid of dell...

Well, that means the GPU runs under power-saving or powerplay mode when running on battery backup.

Can be easily solved by changing powerplay settings.

Yep, absolutely. Only IGPs don't show this, except AMD's Fusion series, which too has Powerplay on IGP itself.

Don't go with Acer lappys. Their after sales support is nightmarish.

have a look at ASUS A53SJ-SX156D. It is available @ 36K and one of the best budget gaming laptop.

The main specs are:-

Core i5 2410M (2.3 GHz, 3 MB L3 Cache)
15.6" HD Glare with 1366X768 reolution
4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz Ram
500 GB HDD
nVidia GT 520 1 GB GDDR3
802.11 b/g/n
0.3 Mega Pixel Camera


This laptop is very good for all kinda activity and also provide playable FPS for almost all the games in 1366X768 resolution. One of my friends is using it and I've checked it myself. The build quality is also very good.

Here is the Link.

^^ That is a good choice, not for hardcore gaming, but light games, lower settings should do fine. I think it's a good deal!
