Hey guys,

I want to buy a Dell laptop, Core i5 500 gb HD, 4gb ram, 1gb nvidia graphics.

I went to many shops and the price range is about almost same.

Mac Plus System is giving inspiron 15r for 31k and vostro for 28k
Dynamic Computers is giving inspiron for 26.5k and vostro for 26k

The same config on flipkart is for 34k(vostro 1450) :O

Why are the prices low here? Are these laptops original? Should i do more R&D and ask many other shops too?

Please Help

don't blindly decide on a laptop. you won't get best of everything if you go just by brand and some series specification. a first gen Core i5 + GT610 won't make a gaming laptop if you are after it :)

fill this: Questionnaire for Laptop/Netbook purchase queries.
