Gaming Laptop

[maverick786us]

I am planning to purchase a good perfomance Laptop of Dell. Here is my requirement.


1) CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo, Laptop / Mobile Equivalent of E8400 (What will it be?)
2) HDD : Min 250 - 300 GB
3) GPU : Laptop / Mobile of HD 4850 (What will it be?)
4) Display : 17 Inch
5) RAM : DDR2 4GB (As good as G-Skill or Corsair)

E8400 Wolfdale would probably be best resembled by a T9800 and Mobility Radeon HD4850 would be the mobile version of the HD4850. So Dell Alienware seems to be the only choice. However no information is given in Indian Dell website. Does anyone have any idea, how much will these laptops cost in Indian markets??

Thanks in Advance

THere's an MSI laptop with HD4850.

U may get that. Or:

C2D P8600
4GB DDR2
Windows Vista Home Premium
15.6" 16:9 LCD Display
HD3670

That's the best u can get for a reasonable price.

monstar HDD(500GB),

Can you tell me the model #??

[acewin]

dv6-1154tx is the model

[comp@ddict]

Remember, the 9600GT Mobile is actually a desktop 9500GT.

Thus getting a HD4670 is a much better option, or for the matter HD4570, as both are equally good or better infact.

[acewin]

wrong. HD4570, though faster has just 64 bit bus compared to 128-bit 9600m GT.
So 9600M GT is better, and none of them come near to HD4670 or HD4650 for that matter.

Remember about ati line up
HD43xx<HD45xx<HD46xx, and the difference between HD45xx and HD46xx is just double.
9600M GT is better than 9500GT

also lil check in bechmark listing for notebook gfx http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-...ist.844.0.html

there is a HP model with ati mobile HD4650 and 1GB but with AMD mobile proccy. And if we say in that way, I do not understand why model with 9600M GT are costlier than better HD4650 model.

if u could get from usa better go with Sager, M-Tech like Brands , they Have GTx260

[acewin]

yup this model is very good, u need to find the model, and also the prices have got 2-3K than 67K, which is the website price.

[comp@ddict]

Try to get a lappy with this:

-C2D P8600 and higher or 9500 and higher
-HD 4670 or HD4860 or GTS250 or GTS250

[acewin]

well, if going US, then u can get all loads of config in $1000

But How about laptops n India?

I think there are quite few models available for casual gaming
like XPS 16, DV6 and Studio 1555

XPS 16 is of course over-priced with ATI Mobility HD3670 - 68K
HP Pavillion DV6 is coming with decent HD4650 - 60K with C2D T9550
And Studio 1555 is coming with HD4570 -65K

Also these laptops are only for casual gaming at Mid settings

MSI is there, but where to find it?

Is there any other lappy other then these? Especially with good gaming GPU?

[desiibond]

DV6 looks better with HD4650 compared to XPS 16. HD4650 is lot lot lot better than HD3670. And still you are paying 8k less.

Dell alienwares are considered to be the best in gaming world. Are they available in India? If yes how much do they cost??

[desiibond]

they are not available in India.

[kjd_1122]

Option 1

If some of your friend or relative is coming from US tell them to purchase a laptop from there and bring it to india

Option 2

USA website of Alienware/Dell does not have a shipping option to India.
But UK website has. go to www.dell.co.uk
Go to the website, configure your system, and finally add your configed system to cart . After doing that, click on 'countinue to checkout'. Register, and choose your shipping country. India is listed over there.

If you order through UK website you will be able to purchase alienware lappy. They will legitimately ship lappy to India
But the thing is It will cost you a bit, not a bit but too much extra.
You will be paying for lappy in Pound, plus shipping will be costing you extra.

If you have too much money then purchase your lappy from alienware.
Alienware lappy are excellently built, damn G products , but they are over-priced as well
