Which laptop do you own/owned ??
Lenovo Y500 @65k. Ah! Bliss.
It's a performance monster and used to beat Alienware 17 of its day.

In a dilemma while buying lappie under 60k. Lenovo Z50-70 FHD or Hp P045tx or dell inspiron 15 3542. Both hp and dell have Backlit keyboard and are good performers with 840m. Lenovo has really bad display according to notebookcheck while hp and dell doesn't have FHD display. Also 4gb gfx is just a waste.
GPU vRAM is irrelevant to GPU core usage lol.
U
Yeah that's right. Still haven't found a better performer than 840m under 60k other than lenovo Y510p. Any good lightweight options guys ??
Lenovo R61 (7 year old) costed ~40k back at that time. i'd say okish for a laptop which is still working.

It was awesome on MAC B since I used to get 6hr+ with ease but with windows mostly 2.5 to 4 hrs
Buy power bank.
Nah only need battery during class so i purchased additional battery and now I can get 6hrs+ with ease. Beside it my laptop is always connected to the power source.

lenovo y510p(i7) for 68k,june 2014...
hp pavilion p045tx for 56k september 2014...
hp pavilion p045tx for 56k september 2014...
Lenovo s10-2 purchased in Feb 2010. Its still chugging along very nicely. Installed a new battery last year and it gives backup of 4-5 hours. Lenovo lappies have been the most durable as per my observation from mine and other friends lappies. HP's are the worst.
Lenovo y510p (i5). Purchased at 56k - Aug 2014
U
Isn't it way too heavy to be taken around ??
U
How is the hp P045tx ?? Does it has a backlit keyboard ?
S
yes it has....also the display,i mean the viewing angles are much much better than z510(ie the HD screens).......dont know about z50 FHD,i havent seen it till now.....n performance is quite well....i have tried watchdogs,COD,NFS rivals,GTA 4...n its fine(dont except as great performance as y510,still fine)....with battrey life of 4hrs+.....
i would recommend it,better than the dell ones....may b over z50,coz the CPU is same....but still confused about how much difference can the 4GB card make....
U
Thanks soumik.......... Was confused before as on many sites there was no mention of the Backlit keyboard. What about the build quality ?? Is it finger print magnet ?

Yep.its a bit heavier than usual.. But, its a sacrifice I was (am) willing to make for the awesome performance.

are you sure? you would've got a Y510p i7 at that price. Z510 i7 costs 60k top.

Dell XPS 15 L501x (4.5 years old) set me back by 50k ish. great machine but now has completed its age!
1.Compaq presario CQ41 (or61) Pentium D, 3 GB RAM, 320GB HDD (40k)(2008-2010)
Horribly slow even for its time but trouble free other wise. Liked the keyboard. Battery life was around 2 hrs max(okayish). Not to mention vista really killed that PC, when ran on linux it felt a lot better 5/10
2. HP Pavilion G6-2005AX A8-4500M, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, AMD HD7640G+HD7670M(32k) (2012-)
Has been to service center once ( always extend warranty). Quite good gaming package for the budget. Solid build (survived 2-3ft falls like 7-8 times). Big PITA when comes to finding perfect way to run a game without proper CFX support. Also installing graphic drivers in Linux were really annoying. Not to mention that it gobbles battery like a refugee(2.5 hrs on max stretch). 7/10
3. Lenovo Z510 Ci5-4200M, 6GB RAM, GT740M, 1TB HDD (51k) (02/2014 - 08/2014 (then gave to sister))
Matte screen was really welcome, although I felt brightness is tad lower than HP machine. Since it runs on windows 8.1 by default the experience is quite fluid & fast. Performance is great fit regular tasks. Didn't game much though so can't say about gfx perf. Battery lasts about 4hrs. Extra RAM comes in handy in certain tasks like compressing in 7zip.. 8/10

Those are not gaming laptops. Those are multimedia laptops. Gaming laptops can max out current games at least with 30 FPS.
My first laptop was Dell Studio 1535, and it had above average graphics capability. I had bought it for 55k at that time. And one fine day the laptop just failed for no apparent reason. It turns out that the hard drive failed along with its connector and I have not been able to find a replacement connector for that.
The current laptop I have got is Lenovo Ideapad Z500, and it sure is a great performer. Bought for 50k. I can play any games that I want on it, and it gives me equal performance as my desktop rig.

I don't see any alienware or asus ROG series laptops here with the higher end GPUs.
Dv6121tx, i7 2630qm, amd6770m 2gb ddr5, 6gb ram, win 7 hp.
for 56k. In Oct 2011.
Decent low level multimedia laptop, that can serve as perfect gaming laptop for a PES fanatic. Can still play most new titles at medium settings.
And has beats audio.
