3 GB DDR2 RAM
250GB or more of hard disk

Graphics Card: NVIDIA best one 256 or 512 MB

Other basic requirements to be assumed

Can any one suggest me which one will be the best one which fits my requirement.

P.S: i was planning for VGN-CS17G/Q SONY VAIO but have to scrifice with the graphics card as its only 128 MB .. Do give me suggestions on this too.
How good is sony vaio cs17 and what all are its reviews .

Dell Studio 15 - Rs. 45,800 (if you buy it before 16th March from Dell's site)

P.S. I just purchased one and loved

DELL studio 15 is the best option

Dell Studio 15 doesn't come with dedicated GPU.

I would suggest Dell XPS or check this:

and also tell me about the sony vaio CS 17 in comparison to the toshiba qosmio F50 ..

thanx again

[desiibond]

toshiba F50 is a good model but it would cost a bomb here in India. At that price, Dell XPS would be a much better option.

[infra_red_dude]

I'd suggest any laptop WITHOUT the 8600 series GPU.

[desiibond]

btw, what is your budget?

my budget is around 50-55k....
pls giv me suggestions abt Sony vaio CS17 & Toshiba qosmio F50 too...
