which laptop to buy · DIGIT-ARC

A

What's your Budget?
55k max
What will be your primary usage for the notebook be?
web surfing, tv series/movie watching and casual gaming
What size and weight considerations do you have?
15.6" desktop replacement
Any other considerations?
Good after sale service and quiet operation.
I have 4 models in mind(Dell, HP, Lenevo and Samsung) -
HP Envy M6-1214TX
Dell Inspiron 15 3521
Lenovo Ideapad Z500
Samsung NP550P5C-S04IN
help me in deciding.

Samsung NP550P5C all the way. because of better display and better GPU.

Your one option is the one stated above i.e. so5in and in case you want a desktop replacement you need to shell out say about 61-62k and get dell 17r turbo i5 version.

Does Samsung NP550P5C run quietly and hows samsung after sales service ?

Save some more bucks and get the Y510 from lenovo with 4th Gen Processor and GT750M....when it becomes more purse-friendly, it will definitely give an edge to you with that GPU, its definitely worth a shot to wait for all 4th Gen MQ version notebooks to become mainstream with GT 7** series and also with a price drop. the unfortunate "weak money to dollar" syndrome is killing the sweet spot price point for laptops now.

Otherwise go for the Samsung with 650M, never choose the GT740M as its a weaker GPU, also I found in some variance in products, it comes with a 64bit Bus b/w which will cause an annoying performance drop even if the GPU clocks are fast enough.

you are spending 55k on a laptop for facebook games. then IMO, go for ultrabooks not notebooks, they give you more portability,better looks and better battery backup. which i believe samsung one is

I have played Criminal cases on my P4 with Nvidia FX5200 (yup, i still have them and they work well)

then HD3000>>FX5200 so op can go for any i3 even..

Going by the looks dell inspiron 15 3521 will be a good choice. It is totally different from the traditional dell look. The laptop is slim and sexy and configuration is good too. The price also hits a sweet spot of 41k.

+1 to hp one

Nope, i have seen both of them and none of them close to Lenovo z500 in terms of look. you can go for Lenovo Ideapad Z500 (59-366499). It looks best and HD4000 is enough for fb gaming.

no need to spend 55k on a laptop to play fb games

OP, you must be a girl or buying for a girl

Id suggest going for a ultrabook also, check
or Z500 (with GT740M)

By the way, Id consider U410 to Z500 if you want more battery life
Also one yhing you must keep in mind while buying ultrabooks is that they dont come with a DVD RW..
