GT 240M, GT 330M, HD 4650, HD 5650 and HD 4670 are faster than GT 420M. See whether it has the option to go for stronger graphics.

ATI HD5730 Mobility Radeon (If they ever update their Studio XPS 16 i.e., SXPS 16 line for India. Available abroad :evil:)

1)

2)
GT445M for XPS 17 (Only available abroad, might be available in India next yr. :shock:)(Class 1 GPU)

There is an option for GT 435, which is slightly better than 5650. It will cost you 69k with i7-740. Check the site:

Yes, mostly in low & med with less AA settings.

See:

Game Benchmarks for 420M is only available for now!

You will be able to play most of the current games, but in low to mid settings. Don't expect all the eye-candy and stuff.
If you really want a gaming laptop, then you will have to spend a lot more. Most of the gaming laptops are not available in India and you'll have to get them imported, which will result in skyrocketing prices.

If you are really interested in spending more, thEn look for Asus G73JH. You'll get it for around 95k+.

Or you can get HP Envy 17 for around 85k which has ATI 5850 GPU and has a long list of high-end features.

It will cost you more than 90k. I saw some online shop selling it in India. But I dont remember how I found the link. However, Asus G73JH is a much better laptop and has somewhat of a cult following. Also, have you checked the HP Envy 17 on HP's site?

Then, Envy 17 of course.

India's SXPS 16 (If you're talking about this one) is really antique.

But for software & database development, I would recommend Workstation NBs, such as HP EliteBook...
