Hi guys,i'm planning to buy MSI GT683.I got a quote of RS 73.5k from Vedant computer,kolkata.
Purpose for the laptop is mainly Gaming,watching movies,surfing.So i guess i5 will suffice,don't have the budget for i7 variant .
What do you think about this laptop,any known issues?How's MSI warranty,they don't provide onsite,also I've heard you need to pay 1 way shipping charges for servicing.Anyone have some idea regarding this?Btw I'm from Kolkata.
Please reply guys,planning to pay advance tomorrow or next week.

PS. Is there any alternate model available within this range with full hd display?I'll consider that also.

Then Laptop is good enough...check out some Asus one also in Flipkart or letsbuy.

Asus N Series N55SF-S1209V Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook

But the graphics card is better in MSI one.

MSI has horrible screen and after sales service of MSI is not that great in india.
one should not go for flipkart they just robe us go for it arena they are the dealers of asus laptops they can give you better price than flipkart.

^^He will buy from Vedant Computers, Calcutta.

Thanks for the quick reply.
The full hd variant of n55sf is showing a price of 74k :O in the pdf.Also MSI got a much better graphics card with gddr5 memory.I don't like the look of n55 series personally.

i have seen both the laptops dude, MSI has better card but you are paying 10,000 just for the card and it comes with i5 so think about it. and msi got glare display while asus got matte display dude. Anyways at the end of the day its your wish , i am a hardcore gamer and truly speaking nothing can replace a deskstop if you are gaming. its your call all the best...

Check this link Tenida shared Asus N Series N55SF-S1209V Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook ,i was talking about this model,this one comes closer to the price you are saying but it has normal hd.How come same model comes with different specs?I guess i'v to check with It Arena :S.

I know nothing can replace Desktop in gaming but i don't have a choice.Another question will i7 2670 serve me any good in gaming compared to i5 2430 with gtx 560m that too with gddr5 memory,the asus one is having crappy ddr3 & also i'm not sure which gt555 variant they are using,there are so many of them & lenovo y570 uses the shittiest of all.

I'm also paranoid about MSI warrenty.
