I currently have an HP- P077TX.I'm selling this since HP really sucks. i mean realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly sucks......................
#1 DOA 1st Piece #2 Display Issue #3 Replaced HDD in 6months #4 Charging too much for replacing a single key(1800INR)- i still have the key. #4 Windows 10 wont shutdown

I'm going with Dell since my vostro rocked almost for 5 years without a single issue.

By budget can stretch upto 1 lacks.My use of the Laptop will be for
Coding,Occasional Gaming
I need slim profile and good looks.

XPS 15 2015 Looks good,but i dont think it will fit my budget.
Should i go for a Mac?

Please suggest

I'm using Dell Precision 5510(don't buy that....it is just too much expensive compared to XPS), which is technically the twin of XPS 15. Trust me, you can never go wrong with a machine like that, it's sleek and powerful. Just try to get one imported, even the basic model with i5 Quad core should suffice your requirement, and should fall under 110K.

I should probably write a mini review of my laptop some day xD.

+1 to Dell 7559, its around 80k with FHD and 960M.. More than enough for coding and occasional gaming
