Hi all ! I need to buy a laptop & purposes are (in decreasing order)
- programming (so i need a good battery backup)
- vmware (so better processor)
- better gpu (i don't want a good or great gpu, better one is enough. i am a medium gamer)

in short, i need both good cpu & gpu. my budget is upto 75k

i selected this xps model, but many saying it's coming with 15.5" & HD which is not good for viewing & it will cause strain to eyes. Whats your view on this ?

If have any other laptop in your mind then let me know. Thank you very much in advance.
