Some questions about the Lenovo z50-70

H

So I am thinking about buying a laptop in the 40k range and after browsing the forums the Lenovo z50-70 seems to be the best choice. I have decided on getting this laptop but have a few questions before buying it

1. The configuration I was shown was 1 tb HDD , 8gb ram, 4210u processor, 820m GPU , FHD screen and Win 8.1 OS all for 46k, is there a better configuration out there? for the same machine?

2. How is the battery life of this laptop anyone else using it here on the forum?

3. Some people are saying I should get dell laptops as they are the most reliable and cheapest options out there, what do you guys think? is there something from dell that is better than this?

Thanks in advance

1.

must be a typo.

don't get the config with 820m, get the config with 840m instead. From wherever you got the price quote, they are overcharging you.

2. Battery life should be adequate.

3. Dell laptops are underpowered and overpriced for that matter.

Where from are you getting this price that too with Windows 8.1 OS?
Of course if you purchase Windows separately still then the price at 40k is absurd.
Requesting to mention.

6k is 6000. must be 60k.

That is the point.
How one makes 40k equal to 6k which is actually 60k(highly probable)????????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited the post it was 46k at CTC hyderabad, apologies for the typo do you guys still think it is overpriced?

Are there any with 840m as well as FHD screen? as far as i know you get one or the other right? you think a downgrade in display quality is worth a minor improvement in graphics performance?

There is indeed 840m with FHD but it wont make any difference where as display is concerned.The viewing angles in Lenovo laptops are not that great.

Is the 4k price increase worth the graphics performance improvement gained by going from 820m to 840m?

820m should be avoided if you want to play recent and future games at respectable frame rates.
840m isn't a minor improvement over 820m :lol:

GeForce 840M vs 820M

Sorry shadow but that's a totally wrong assumption. Many hp and dell laptops too have 840m or similarly performing 830m. But dell laptops have single ram slots and 840m,and hp have their legendary heating problems. So lenovo is the only way to go.

Thanks Guys I think I am going to go for the laptop with the 840m

That is also a wrong fact,not all DELL laptops have single RAM slots.Most of the Inspiron or Latitude series of DELL have dual RAM slots.

I am talking in context of 840m laptops only.

But in this much money it has probably the best. And the display is weird on the angles not on the straight viewing.
