you can go for lenovo z500 380480 or z500 380463 check prices locally and do some bargaining( if you want to buy offline).
the z500 380463 is a good laptop for its price.

any other models??

What type of games you want to play in your laptop?

If you dont mind can you check prices of lenovo z500 and z510 models at Nehru place. I think you can get it cheaper there than flipkart.

Z500 should be around 47k, it's worth it.

plz tell what can b the issue..

on battery? then it is power throttling.
on AC mains? then it is thermal throttling.
Use Throttle stop and see if that helps.

Congratulations on your purchase. Can you please inform us which z510 model and at what price you bought your laptop.

What about the display quality of Z510?

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks..and sorry for late response..
I have bought core i5 model. I was looking out for core i7 model but was not available in market at that time.
After a lot of bargining..i managed to get it @ 52k + Targus wireless mouse for free .. the printed price in stores was 52,900.

Hi Nandu,

To be honest, i didnt like the display very much as its kind of bluish. The native resolution is 1366x768 which is not very sharp but its good when it comes to gaming, as higher resolution would have costed in FPS.
Apart from that, the performance is really good. Everyday tasks are buttery smooth (HD videos, internet, MS word, excel etc. ) and even the latest games are running fine on med-high settings. By looks this machine is beautiful and backlit keyboard is a plus.

Pics please...
