Suggest a laptop · DIGIT-ARC

A

My budget is rs 80,000 . I wanted a hp laptop for gaming. Also it should be availabe in india. Thanks

..If gaming is utmost priority and u r settled at a place , take a desktop..its always better than laptop...and in 80k that will be a HELL lot of config for a PC

Yes bro u are right. But its for my friend and he is stuck with laptop, he can get a powerhouse pc for this amount.

did u try to convince him ?

Let him get Lenovo Thinkpad X300 or Thinkpad T61.

Also check HP DV9 and DV5 series.

Dell XPS 1530 with 8600M GT will be good... but just 69k... leaving around 11k

^^

yup, agreed but the XPS series has 8xxx series of gpu whereas the HP's DV series has 9xxx series of gpu so it will make a lot of difference (coz he is specifically) interested in gaming.. tat too on a lappy..

but there is also one thig to be noted, tat XPS series are really stylish and afaik none lappys can beat this style..

ashu888ashu888 is right coz i m also using Dell for the past 2 months & till nw i hav not found ny laptop that can beat dell in style. i think only sony vaio can beat dell in style wise but u hav to pay more amount of money 2 buy a sony vaio laptop.with same cofiguration u can get a different brand laptop in less price than sony vaio.

Vaio is teh worst brand for lappies.

You see, they charge for brand name. You need to pay 20k more for the Vaio logo while u can get the same config from any other brand in 20k less!! The only benifit of buying a Vaio is to impress the girl next door (that is, if she is not a g33k!!).

^^ Vaio is not just about price. They make the laptop extremely thin and to keep it strong, they use Carbon Fibre body. On top of that, the h/w is pretty powerful. Yes. you won't find Vaio inside 50k. But that is how Sony is. They don't attract masses

Go for Acer 8920G. It is heavy on multimedia.

And they do make a style statement!!!

I agree bro's. But he stuck with hp. I now found a hp hdx 18t premium. But the dealers say its not available in india. Can u help me.

HP also released a 16" DX laptop DX16t. already hailed by many as superb performer, thanks to centrino2 and 9600M GT.

yup, no doubt in DELL's style

btw, wich DELL lappy u hv buddy ?
I hv been planning to buy a DELL lappy but the thing is these dell ppl jus DONT wanna upgrade the gpu from the 8xxx series to the latest 9xxx series.. tats y im waiting and waiting..and.. (to say the least)..waiting

i thought tat by Diwali, dell wud add the 9xxx series of gpu in their XPS series.. but alas !! worst still, i think the studio series of DELL has got ATi gpus..

and i jus wanna go with nVIDIA... lets see...

yup, valid point added buddy..the vaio range are really sturdy, but do they really provide carbon fibre body ?? (well didnt knw tht) only this that the vaio bodies were high on glossy finishes..and only HP started to provide carbon fibre body..

well, i think u shud be goin with DELL, believe me, plus u can configure the lappy to ur own tastes and it will be a bomb but it still wont beat the PC config for gamin in 80K budget..

Cheers n e-peace...

yeas.. some vaios do provide carbon fibre..and something special abt their screens too..dunno what

^^

i see...hope sum1 answers me abt the so called "sumthing special abt the vaio screens"

but afaik, it wont be a tech farther from the wga or xwga (or sumthing simiral to this) wich is also provided by the DELL lappys...
