Is HP HDX16t series is available in India yet? I would prefer buying it from Kolkata. If it is available then what is the cost.

Alienware laptops are only one to play @ high but no laptops can play @ full high & full resolution

The FALCON laptops are the best in gaming , but starting is 300000/-

DELL XPS for 100000/- is gaming laptop @ 17" inch screen , that too using 8800GT/Gs something .
