You must have filled the full questionnaire so that we could suggest you in a better way, anyways you can have a look at Asus P53E-SO059D , its a great laptop, the only thing it lacks is a USB 3.0 port

iPlay it would be very hard to tell you which laptop will float your boat. Since we DO NOT know what are your primary requirements. Specify your requirements, like playing games, documents, watching hd movies etc.
That way we would be able to suggest you a laptop based on your requirements!

It is also a great laptop.
But asus gives onsite warranty, better build quality and mate screen and also the price of asus is pretty good.

Can you find of GFX 1GB :)

GFX of 1GB is nothing but BS. For your use, HD3000 is more than good, believe me :).

but that depends ;)
520MX is better than HD3000. though GT610 or GT520 are almost same as HD3000 with the added disadvantage of extra battery drain.

Can you find of GFX 1GB :)

if you want a 1Gb Graphics card that can play games properly, look out for at least Radeon HD6630/6650 or Gefore GT630/635 or better. else stick to Intel HD3000. don't go by the memory of graphics card thing that are openly highlighted. this doesn't mean a thing when it comes to gaming.

For what cooling pad is use?

Whenever i use laptop i keep it on for 4-5hrs so i need to buy that?

If then suggest me one good cooling pad for my Samsung NP300E5Z-S08IN

^For keeping the temps under control for laptops. But they will make a difference of max 5-10°.

Its not like if you use your laptop for 4-5hrs you need to buy that. I use my laptop for 24-48 hrs continuously, still don't feel the need for cooling pad.

You don't need a cooling pad mate. Just make sure the air vents are not being obstructed. That will take care of your cooling needs.
