You don't get Alienware for $1000. And they are rip-off.

Among those four I pick either the 3rd or 4th. But are you sure you want 17" or 18" laptop?

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the unclear post earlier. My total budget is around 1200$. I need a replacement for my desktop. As I will be doing lot of gaming and watching movie, I am choosing 17" or more. I need the best bang for buck. These four laptops has good value for money. If you can suggest me others means you are most welcome. Please remember my main purpose is for gaming and watching movies.

Many thanks in advance.

^^ yes.

1) HP
2) Bluray ROM
3) 9600M

I will not go for Acer. It's will be very heavy and I suspect how long the battery will run due to 18.4" display.

You can check this Sony Vaio lappy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834117832

comes with HD3650.

Dont bother about any at all if u want...

Buy a sager laptop..theya re fully customisable..i have a frnd who uses one and hes brilliantly happy abt the purchase...

http://www.sagernotebook.com/default.php

and they have some realy good offers going on and off.. check if ur sister and get one with a offer...

they ahve lots of advantages than other notebooks... like upgrading RAM and HDD without voiding ur warranty also... like a desktop... or dont know if they are only on high end ones... but check it out.. u will be very happy abt it...

and what more..a imported piece shld always means exclusivity... ..bling factor is a must. so if u want a change from mass produced brands heres is ur chance..

Thanks, But the 4th option seems to have all the above mentioned specs and blue. The missing thing is fingerprint reader(as i dont need it) and some processing power. I can save 150$ by choosing the 4th one.

Thnaks dude. But what about the reliability of laptop. Is sagar is available in india. What about warrenty in India? Cos HP,acer,dell,Toshiba provide international warrenty.

its sager ... not sagar.....

the thing is VERY reliable... my fnd bought it abt 6 months ago..its a 24*t on machine...hes staying as a PG....no other PC.... its very reliable...

but no gurantee in india.... i think their RMA is u send it to them and they return it back on their cost...

i think when a think is bought to india on repair terms..that is in declaration no customs...

even international warranty is 1 year...those times...nothing much will happen...

But still I can get 1 year warranty right. Sager may have great gaming laptop but without warranty I cant justify it to my sister. Sorry Guys. no offence.

No international warranty from Sager. ASUS gives 2 years International Warranty. Your call.
