You should jump for joy if you get anything above 25k. someone here bought a very similar config 12.1" thinkpad for 21k from a dealer.

hi
Guys am looking for a laptop which will give me good performance for gaming, movies and other general stuff.It would be more of a desktop replacement.My needs are:
17 inch display
min 2GB ram
Intel core2 duo
a very good graphics card(preferably nvidia)
a dvd writer
The hdd space isnt a concern.I am really impressed by the dell XPS-M1710 (minus the blu-ray).Amazing specs but expensive.Although i could find some good deals on e-bay and something around Rs150000 can be managed.
So any more suggestions??And will dell provide assistance for this product since its not launched in India?

your only choice for the real stuff is the dell xps. But do wait before buying. dell is ready to unleash something really big. I can tell you this becausethey have lost some good numbers last year and they want to get back.

gaming systems are usually high end so be sure that what you buy is future compatible. Nvidia 8K series and ati 2K series are a must (they are dx10 supported)along with a 64-bit dual core cpu. Newer games do make use of these technologies.

Is the Asus G2S available in India ? Their website doesn't mention it, but I read somewhere a while ago about Asus talking about the G1 and G2 in India.

The G2S is the one with the Santa Rosa I believe.

hi
do u really think i should wait?Because even if they launch something great it would be really expensive and i may get a new xps in about 150000.
Would the XPS-M1710 last me comfortably for 5-6 years?And would i get dell support for it since its not launched here?Can u guys suggest any more models?

[devarshi84]

This is a tough one.

Windows vista is going to last a while. DX10 is specially being developed for vista too. In this case better go for a more compatible system than a value for money system that wont play anything after a while.

Dell is pretty good at support. Dont expect warranty though.

Suggest a laptop Under 65k max Dell or hp ? - how much does macbook cost's ?

[devarshi84]

for 65K I would recommend HP Pavilion range. For prices on Macbook check out apple India website. the 13 incher is the bestseller but 15.4 incher is better overall.

Under 65K I would suggest Dell XPS M1330.

For A Sony Vaio purchased in India what is the servicing / repairs like ?

My friends budget is around 1-1.15 and he is set on either Apple Mavbook or Sony Vaio. There is no specific reason he needs it for, basically just wants to burn money

Some one told him that Sony does not service machine's locally and it take 2 - 3 months for repairs. I find that hard to believe.

Hey Gadget Gurus

I am looking for a new branded laptop, that has the following minimum stuff:
1.8 GHz Dual Core (AMD preferred over Intel)
2 GB Ram
120 GB Hard Disk
At least 128MB dedicated video card
14" screen would be nice.

Budget 60K max (including OS)

Not very keen on HP right now, but still I am willing to be convinced if someone has the right arguments for HP.

Any suggestions?
