I've been struggling to find any one of the below mentioned Laptops in indian market

1) HP DV6 with 2nd or 3rd generation Core i7 Quad with 15.6 inch screen having a resolution of 1920 X 1080 resolution

2) HP Envy 15 with 2nd or 3rd generation Core i7 Quad with 15.6 inch screen having a resolution of 1920 X 1080 resolution

3) HP DV7 with 2nd or 3rd generation Core i7 Quad with 17.6 inch screen having a resolution of 1920 X 1080 resolution

4) HP Envy 17 with 2nd or 3rd generation Core i7 Quad with 17.6 inch screen having a resolution of 1920 X 1080 resolution



But every where the first 2 laptops comes up with CRAPPY!!!!!!!! 1366 X 766 resolution and the bottom 2 17 inch models comes with 1600 X 900 resolution. WTF!!!!

Yes but they can launch in local market. This local market is such peace of junk.

Any laptop below 1920 X 1080 is CRAPPY!!!

For 15.6 inch Laptops I can spend around 70K and for 17 inch laptops I can spend around 85K

Sony Vaio with 1080p IPS screen

Gaming is not my priority. I am looking for a powerful Quad Core laptop in which I can install Virtual PC having MS Sharpoint 2010 and MS Dynamic CRM. Apart from that I want to use it for my MBA. For that HP Envy Series laptops are something that I call "Powerful and Beautiful". But unlike dell these HP laptops are not configurable in indian market. For me full HD (1920 X 1080) resolution is a NEED. I hate scrolling because of low resolution.

Dell XPX 15z is configurable with that FULL HD resolution but its way expensive 83K and isn't as much powerful as DV6 and it lacks numeric keypad. ASUS laptops are ugly looking so this HP is my only choice

Just wait for few days, dell is upgrading the XPS models.
So you an get them and it will also fall in your budget.

Even this XPS 15Z has been discontinued in indian sites
