Want a laptop under 60k ?

I will basically using it for:-

1. Running applications like MATLAB , CAD etc.

2. Internet Browsing.

3. Playing games like NFS , Mortal combat , Tekken , Prince Of Persia , Counter Strike etc.

4. Mobility is required therefore will be avoiding very big screen size but it will be good if the laptop has HD resolution.

5. Should have a good battery life.

Your 4th point contradicts itself !

Dell XPS 15 with 6Gb Ram + i5 2410 and GT 540M + Back light keyboard and Full HD screen. Might stretch our budget but worth it .

In my 4 point i said that i want hd resolution but will prefer smaller screen size , actually it will be better if it will be 14 inch screen but screen should not be bigger than 15.6 inch . mobility is not very big factor in my case i can adjust without it also but performance should be good

Here's something you might want to remember. All games look best when they're set to the native resolution of the screen. A full HD screen will therefore need a significantly more powerful GPU to produce that level of detail. Just sayin

if u have no problem with mac os then go for macbook pro

mac pro will cost much more dude. IMO he should go for dell XPS 15. You will get 2nd gen i5, 6GB RAM, full HD (1920*1080) reso, 1GB GT525M gfx and backlit keyboard, all @ 59.5 K.

SSMAX what do you mean by "HD" resolution ?
HD means 720p or 1366x768 resolution
Full HD means 1920x1080 resolution.

So are you looking for HD or FULL HD ?

Both resolutions will work but I will prefer full HD

XPS 15 comes with HD and can be upgraded to FULL HD !

Thanks for responding,
I have heard about HP dv6 series laptops but unable to find the info about them could somebody tell about them also , i have seen XPS15 and its a good laptop.

You would need OpenGL for CAD?

OpenGL + HP DV6 = Problems

IMO get the Dell with 2630QM.

Thanks for help i will go for dell.

The open GL problem reported in DV6-61xx models have been resolved.

I remember seeing a thread on notebook forum yesterday about this driver update that solves the problem. The guy said that the problem reappears after a restart.
So they are waiting for a bios update.

The fix is close I suppose.

I was going to purchase the dell XPS15 as you all said but then yesterday i saw the dv6-6121tx from Hp it had i7-2630QM and AMD Radeon HD 6770M (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated) priced around 55k .The GPU in hp is much more better than 2gb GT540m that dell is offering , dell does have the full HD display but should i not go for HP as its also offering HD LED display with Decent pricing .

And what is that opengl issue , i am not getting it????

You can't use the Ati card for OpenGL (yet). Only the Intel can be used.

If you need OpenGL for CAD, get the Dell.
If you want FHD (much better. Internet, Movies and programming is heavenly on that), get the Dell.
Otherwise get the HP. Its much better for gaming.

Can i change the graphics in Dell?

That is the graphics card, can i change it?

As i mentioned above i will be playing some games too (mentioned above) will XPS will be able to Support them nicely.

Getting the replacement card would be very difficult in India.
And its might be soldered to the motherboard.

EDIT: Those games can be played on anything.
