Apart frm "thin and light" how about the spec's ?

Specs are good for a entry level gaming laptop.(CS and COD will be breeze). Also photoshop and afterlife won't trouble you with this configuration.

@noob63 I thought of Dell Inspiron 14R @39490/- and Inspiron 15R no GC @39990 with GC @42990

some of my frnds who have HP suggest not to go with(reasons Heating,Drivers,Customer Support) does G6-2320TX has any issues?!!!

and the last time when i checked for ASUS was K53SM-SX010D.. any other?

Hello, Anyone looking at this thread.. :-?

?

This is best. Great specs everything will be breeze. Also HP is offering extra 2 year warranty which makes this a steal.

Why buy that when one can get the exact same thing for 36k?
HP Pavilion G4-2049TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

But I can vouch for one thing, dell laptops look a hell lot better than HP laptops, at least when comparing the G6 to Inspiron, but except the N5520 all inspiron except the Turbo models come with ULV cpu which is cr@p, so go for HP 2049TX, and if you are not sure about HP service get Dell 15R N5520.

a local shop here quotes
G4-2049TX @ 39800/-
G6-2320TX @ 43490/-
G6-2313AX @ 39800/-

and a interesting ASUS, K55VM SX-046R(SX-064R) don't know properly has 3rd Gen i5(variant not known),8gb ram,750HDD & 2GB 630M @ 42k/-(local price)

Which shop is it in bangalore... is it in sp road? You can actually get 2049tx for less than 39k there. asus laptop price looks good.

I checked with 2 HP Store(Indiranagar/Korm area)..they all quote the same price..
i'm going today @ sp road will post the prices.

as of now i'm thinking of 2320TX if i'm getting it <42k else i'll look for 2313AX or the ASUS K55VM.

2320TX is way over my budget now.. costs 43.2k/- :cry:

any HP's below 40k? with i5 3rd gen + GC ? :-?

if not HP any in Dell/Lenovo ?

Yes, G6 2049TX, its a steal for 36k in FK.

@tkin how good is Inspiron 14R (5420)
3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor (3M Cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
14" (35.6cm) HD WLED True-Life (1366x768)
4GB 1 DIMM (4GB x1) DDR3 1600Mhz
500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
NVidia GeForce GT 630M DDR3 1GB

compared to 2049tx or 2320tx..?

The CPU of this is the same as 2049TX and a hell lot faster than 2313AX, but the GPU is just a tad slower(~2-5%) than 2049TX(7670m), so I'd say 2049TX all the way, unless you have a thing for Dell, like I do.

It's a good laptop buddy i was abt to buy it. but it all comes down under which one is cheaper and that way 2049tx is better.

I was struck between ASUS K55VM (i5-3gen) and HP-2320TX.. after much ado finally ordered 2320TX

Same with my Dell as well, warranty starts when the laptop reaches the distributor, you have to call lenovo support to increase the warranty terms, plus wasn't lenovo giving extra 2yrs warranty? Or is for the Y500 only?

I bought from a dealer, said he would check on that extra warranty btw found this from FK.

Yeah, that's it, get it asap, 4 days to go, don't waste your time, if its gone, your dealer won't be able to do a thing, this much I can guarantee.

Sounds like you found a good deal, yes? Lenovo almost always pleases. I hope you get your warranty.

I'm putting together a couple laptop shopping guides: Ultraportable Laptops | Lightweight Laptops. (Prices are USD, links to Amazon.) I just thought I would ask if you think I should add anything to them? And let us know how you like your laptop when it arrives.

Is that really GT 635m gpu??

yes..i've not tested any games so far, as of now Intel 4000 (Windows Experience Index rates as low as 4.8 for Desktop graphics performance)

sadly 96 CUDA Cores compared to 336 cores of GTX 560

Oh wow nice... but the one with gf108 architecture has 96 shaders only. So urs shud perform smwher between gt 550m and 630m.

Yeah now lenevo has brought out z500 with nvidia 645gt. That too at 48k only. Let's see if other competitors something like this at cheaper rates

But what's the exact model no. Of this lappy with 635m
Here in South the local stores still seem ignorant of all this model

It's Z580 (Metallic Grey) Model #20135
