1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)

>Max- 42k

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen


3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: Dell or HP
b. Dislike: Lenevo ( Had a very bad experience with my Y560 :( )



4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?

> Mostly Gaming..so need a decent GPU,Photoshop CS6, and other basic stuff's.

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?

>1336*768 will be available to me due to my budget :/

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)

> I have narrowed my mind towards this -

HP Pavilion G6-2312AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2.5GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

So,is it good enough to support my gaming needs ? Can the 7670m handle current games at medium-High settings ?

Or,any another options are available to me ? Please suggest, will be buying by the end of this month.
PS- Should have a good built quality,especially the hinges, my Y560's hinge got broken only after 6 months of purchase :cry: So don't want that to happen again.

Regards.

I would suggest you to go for a Z500 with GT 740M available around 43 k.It's a pretty much popular Laptop with a very Good Dedicated Graphic Card GT 740 M than the Radeon 7670 M

Nah ! This would be a bad choice.
I have seen a HP laptop in a local store for 40k which have a A10,8Gb RAM,1TB HDD & 8670m 1GB.
Built Quality and looks were pretty awesome,Should I go with it ? Need your suggestions.How is 8670m ? Will it be able to run current games on atleast medium settings ?

Here the laptop link,i am taking about- www.flipkart.com/m/hp-pavilion-15-e...AGF&fromSearch=true&otracker=search&pageNum=1
