Hi friends. Please suggest me a gaming laptop in 50k. Nvidia graphic card is PREFERED. Screen size 15'6". Screen resolution bigger the better. Please don't suggest laptops with ulv processors. The budget can be extended by 3k.

Going by the recent threads, the lenovo z510 seems like a good bet in your price range.

You can go for either of these 3 models of z510-

i5 with 1gb nvidia graphics card & 4gb ram, i5 with 2 GB nvidia graphics card & 6gb ram, or if you stretch your budget just a little bit more, i7 with 2 GB nvidia graphics card and 8gb ram.

All three come with backlit keyboard, 8 GB ssd hybrid drive, and HD screen(not full HD). Basically rest of most of the features are same in all 3 z510's. Take your pick. :)

Seems a good bet. But I've heard that the battery is irreplacable. Is this true?

Yes. if the battery dies then you have to wait for days till lenovo tech reaches your home and replace the battery. If it is replacable then you can took the battery out and plugin directly to AC source.

I don't know how long z510 battery will last.

Bought z510 last month.
Gaming performance is the best you can get on a lappy in this budget in india.
yes, unlike other laptops, battery cant be removed by user. in normal usage battery lasts for 3hrs approx.

I also plan to buy Z510. Can anyone confirm the quality of the display. I saw the model in a mall and I felt the display is very dim....and also there is small flex on the keyboard near to numpad..

Bros I'm not talking about battery backup. I just want to know if it can be replaced once it dies?

It can be. Only thing is when you do have to get it replaced, you will have to take it to authorized lenovo service centre. They will disassemble the laptop, replace the battery, reassemble the laptop.

I do not like the concept of inbuilt battery either in mobile or even in Laptop. The user has to submit the device and they are going to take a week or so to replace the battery.
They say it saves battery and give better Backup. I say to hell with 10-15 mins extra Backup and give us non removable battery. Can't even game on inbuilt battery.

I think these are earlier models of z510 without the back lit keyboard and 8 GB hybrid ssd.

The newer versions have been launched in march with above features, sans the fhd I believe. The i7 version is not even available at lenovo stores for quite some time now. Out of stock they say.

Source is the link I shared with you couple of posts ago. Its from official lenovo website. If they wanted to mention full HD, they would have specified it, like here -

Laptop PC | IdeaPad Y510p (Black) | Lenovo India | The DO Store

Other sources are sales rep from authorized lenovo store and review of owners of z510.
