Suggest a Laptop · DIGIT-ARC

H

I have starting to learn Red Hat Linux Server 6.1. I have come to know that I need 4 GB RAM, more than 3 GHz 64bit Processor.

I also need a good graphics card not the intel integrated ones.

Please suggest me a laptop with budget under Rs. 50,000/-

I have found one Dell Inspiron new 15R around Rs, 43,000 with 3rd gen intel i5 processor with clock speed upto 2.9 Ghz

you have found a correct choice by the way

but wait for more suggestions from members

just post the link of the dell laptop which you found suitable, so that members can see the specifications according to your needs

I think its dell inspiron 14r 0r 15r special edition!! Hoping for more suggestions as i too am searching for a lap and atlast came up with inspiron 14R, but if another awesome laptop specs popup i will let you know for sure!

-> Think about dell inspiron 14z Ultrabook! Its Not released in india, i think! But a small beast but is out of your budget too

You are right, guys.
That new Inspiron series is a beast for gaming n 3d developing stuff..
Love it..

Here is the Specs of 3 variants of New Inspiron 15R : New! Inspiron 15R Laptop | Dell India

There is a difference of graphics card. In the first variant it is Intel HD Graphics 4000 and in the rest it is AMD Radeon 7670M HD 1GB DDR3.

Which one is better graphics?

^^^obivously 7670M

AND INTEL HD 4000 is IGP.

H

Which to opt?

1) 14R Dell with Nvidia Geforce GT 630M

or

2) 15R Dell with AMD Radeon HD 7670M

Go for dell inspiron,its the best right now or wait and let the other brands release laptops with IBP

H

Has anyone bought the new Dell Inspiron 14R or 15R not the special edition?

Which to choose new Dell Inspiron 15R or HP Pavilion G6-2006TX 15.6" ?

Out of these two go for the 15R as it has a bit better gpu.

I have found HP Pavilion G6 Series G6-2016TX at Flipkart and Lenovo Z580 with i5 3rd generation processor comparable to the new Dell Inspiron 15R.

Any comments...

Lenovo is not recommended and even HP is not recommended

Any reason for this?

Lenovo has poor build quality and pathetic ass, for more take the help of google.
And HP because of heating issues, and also now a days they are too providing poor build quality which one experience after 1.5-2yrs

Why 15R not providing numeric keypad? I am a engineering student.

I think it is there in 15" model.
Apart from that there is no as such need of num keypad, I have 3 laptops and none of them has it.

Well I disagree.......Many of my friends are using lenovo laptops and i dont think their build quality is pathetic.The previous generation z570 have good built quality and their keyboard is very nice too.As for ASS it is not same all over the country.
Every hp laptop doesnt have heating issue.Heating issue with pavilion 3043tx was really bad.HP engineers admitted they have heating problems with their laptops because of the manufacturing process of their laptops which were more suitable for less humid climates like european countries.But after sandy bridge equipped hp laptops have arrived things have changed a lot and with the advancement in chip fabrication process things are only going to get better.

Many people in my college have dell laptops.They suffered from problems.Owners of laptops of other brands have suffered too.Dell's ASS is good in my region but it is late at work here.Means they arrive generally 2-3 weeks(sometimes even months) after calling them.

I think members should refrain from making brand specific comments.Rather they should wait for the reviews of the upcoming products.
Better to judge the products of the various brands than the brand itself.

Why do you keep posting hate posts for hp when you aren't using any of the newer models ???
I own a dv6 and it doesn't have any heating issues. Temperatures rise during gaming, but so it does in any other brand with i7.

I completely agree with you :razz:

I always comment after experiencing anything, I just not comment after reading anything from anywhere.

^^No offence to you buddy,but experience with newer and different products can change.

Hmmm....
Yes it can, but have experienced a lot HP laptops, so that doesn't change atleast with me.

Can anyone tell which laptop best supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux like graphics support, wireless and sound?

Is the memory expandable to 8GB and can I get AMD Radeon Graphics card in 14R instead of nvidia or vice versa?
