Wanted Suggestions for 70k lappy

XPS 17 is a bit out of your budget. You can configure the XPS 15 though. Be sure to get the FHD screen. There are not many 3D options in this price range in India. There is one 3D laptop from LG priced at 60k.

dnt wrry abt the budget, i can get the 85k one also....but the point is will it run smoothly and dont give me trouble ?

What do you mean by no-trouble and smooth working? If you are asking about breakdowns, it cannot be guaranteed. No matter which company you choose, there is always a chance that a laptop will fail. However, if you are asking about the performance, the configuration is pretty good and it will work fine for all types of applications. Though I might add, don't expect to be able to play all the games at highest settings on a 3D FHD screen with Nvidia GT555M.

is there some general problems with the dell chargers?

Seeing your budget you should go with those new laptops from Asus or MSI with GTX series cards and 3D/FHD support. Much better than dell

what about the after sales service of these comapnies and do they suffer hardware problems frequently compared to dell?

Asus is pretty much reliable and durable. The problem is their service centers are not present everywhere in India.

if service is an issue i would prefer dell over any other company, especially if you get the xps you get premium after sales services....

thats quick u should have told us a little earlier...
..at that point u can get a power packed gaming rig , and yes dell is very much reliable laptop and u will get good after sales service...
...but the 555m isnt that powerful considering ur budget, check out something from asus or msi , great build quality n service, powerfull laptops have lesser battery life and heats up quickly, but thats fine with the performance u get...
..its nyc u want a 3d laptop but i guess it isnt a great feature, but its ur choice ultimately..

Check out the asus g74sx, i dont know its pricing so please contact them and enquire about it..

According to MSI website they have service centers only in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.........so unless you are in one of those cities or near one, you shouldn't go for it.

MSI India Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

go for alienware Mx11 the only problem u will face is it has a smaller screen compared to the others

reply fast

Hi Guys, thanks for all the inputs
I have finally narrowed in on two models : Dell XPS 17 3D, sony VPCF217HG/BI
sony is offering better processor i7 2820QM vs dells i7 2670/2760
also sony offers 8GB ram vs Dells 4Gb
but graphics is better for dell GT 555 vs GT 540 of Sony, and for better 3d experience i think better graphics is must. But I dont know exact performance difference between the two.
the price difference is significant, dell with the higher processor will cost 92k, sony is 105k
i will be staying mostly in delhi ..so servicing for both will not be much problem. But I am seriously in confused which one to chose. Is Sony's really worth the price ..or should I be better satisfied with dell xps?

Go with Dell you won't regret it.

My Boss bought a top of the line Sony Vaio, it stays in the service center most of the times for some stupid problems (Don't remember model number but he got it for 1.5 Lacs)

Dell's after sales support is excellent, but i hate them lol.

laptops are not for gaming mate, if you do gaming on it, will heat up, wont get much fps, card not supporting high end games, I say fck it man. Desktop rocks
for portability > Laptop

I royally miss my desktop

Buddy Ken, its simple yet complicated deciding between the two -

Simply put the Dell will give you a better gaming experience and 3D gaming will be more enjoyable but still not upto the mark ( you need at least GTX 560M and up for smooth 3D gaming)

But if it is entertainment you are after then nothing beats F217HG. It has the best laptop screen money can buy (anywhere in the world, not just India) the best 3D experience outside of an IMAX 3D theater, (no 3D laptop/desktop monitor/3D HDTV can beat its 3D performance)
The screen in 2D easily rivals many decent LCD/Plasma HDTVs (Plasmas also as it has an OCB LCD so viewing angles are perfect. No matter which angle you look there is no image degradation.)

So if only entertainment and light gaming is what you need then get the Vaio, if you want better gaming pedigree then get XPS 17. If you want smooth 3D gaming then go for Asus G74SX 3D. Its priced around 1.15 lacs. (Officially sold in India, no need to import or anything)

Otherwise as Pratik mentioned build a 3D gaming desktop.

Thanx randomuser111, you have really provided a great piece of info and im clearly impressed by the vaio. Does someone know any high class showroom in delhi where i can be sure to get them ?

Your welcome buddy, though I must tell you that VPCF217HG will soon be discontinued and replaced with VPCF237HG
Which has

1) i7 2860QM CPU which is even more powerful than i7 2920 Xtreme Edition CPU
2) Comes with new 2011 USB rechargeable 3D glasses
3) Updated software

It should be here within this month. But most likely it will priced higher maybe around 1,29,900.(The F217 was initially priced at 1,54,900 prices were dropped only last month) So I would say go for the 217 itself but as far as I know there are few units left. So you will have to search for a dealer that has stock remaining and also do it as soon as you can. And if buy from a non Sony exclusive store you can get upto 6% off on MRP.

Thanx all for helping me out, specially randomuser111. I have decided to buy vaio f217 and have talked to a sony dealer in nehru place who has it ready for sale. will get it by monday or tuesday. Thanx

^Congrats in advance !!!
