Hey guys I need your help.

I did some research regarding laptops on my own and now I am stuck between these two laptops can you guys please help me decide which one should I go for

Note: I plan on using the laptop for gaming, graphic design and 3D related work

The two laptops I have sort listed are -
1. Toshiba Satellite L850 Satellite L850-Y5310 - price Rs 56000 - I am preferring this one as it is giving a good config at a reasonable price

check specs here - Toshiba Satellite L850 Satellite L850-Y5310 Laptop 3rd Gen Ci7/8GB/750GB/2GB graphics/Win 7 HP: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Toshiba Notebook

2. Dell New Inspiron 15R SE 3rd Gen Ci7/ 4GB/ 1TB/ 2GB Graphics/ Win 7 HP Laptop -Price Rs 54378 - I think this has a good config too

Specs here - Dell New Inspiron 15R SE 3rd Gen Ci7/ 4GB/ 1TB/ 2GB Graphics/ Win 7 HP Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Dell Notebook


Please help me decide which one is better or if you guys have any suggestions in this range.

Thanks :razz:

Click to expand...

How many gigabytes of graphics there are is far less important than what graphic card model is present in the laptop. :)

The toshiba L850 has an AMD 7610 model , whereas the inspiron uses a 7730 model.

The 7730 would eat the 7610 alive in a head to head. :lol:

But if you do want the best laptop in this price range, then give this a look.

NP550P5C-S02IN - OVERVIEW | SAMSUNG India

Nothing even comes close. And it costs 57k.

If not this, then buy the 15R SE.

You can check out the Samsung thread, and the Samsung vs Dell inspiron 15R thread for further details.

Just Stay away from that Toshiba laptop.
Buy Inspiron SE(add a backlit keyboard to it also) or Samsung 550P

And if your budget is around 60-63k then have a look at Sony VAIO E Series SVE14A16FN also
