Help me choose a laptop for 42k

[Chetan1991]

I'm planning to buy a laptop n have decided over Dell inspiron 15 with i3 330m, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd, ati m. R. Hd 5450 1gb n 15.6" screen.
Its price is 42k.

Here r my q's:

is it a good choice, or can i get a better laptop for the price?

If i buy it at a shop, will they be having the extra accessories offered at the site (the ep 630 earphones, mouse n carry case) n at the prices offered at the same (ep630 r offered at 400, half the market price, i think but maybe wrong).

Is the laser mouse offered at the site any good (cost rs. ~700)? Or can i get a better for the same price??

Which one's better ? Buying online or from shop?(it'll save delivery charges, right?)

n one more thing, a lil off topic. Pls suggest me high fidelity n low price small speakers. I dont need high vol. but quality. I'll be feeding them the output of my guitar's multi effects processor ocassionally.

well, a good choice or no, will depend the MOST on ur requirement, say if u jus do normal office work and mid range gaming and movies, then this is a gr8 lappy to go for, so unless u dont specify ur usage/requirement, i cant blindly tell u buddy..

but, yes this is a good config for almost all types of activities..

well, yes this is a standard part of the laptop accessory,so irrespective of where u buy it from, u will receive all the things (tats listed on Dell;s site)

ep630's yes are available at lower prices as well, buy since u are getting them as a standard part of the lappy accessory, then y to leave it, it will cost the same wether u take it or leave it..

Is the laser mouse offered at the site any good (cost rs. ~700)? Or can i get a better for the same price??

well, if u are accustomed to using a mouse then u can buy it (but i wont recommend it, unless u are into gaming)... coz even i hv purchased a VAIO lappy recently, i was NOT used to using the track pad, it was tiring my left hand alot, but eventually i got used to it and now i love it.. so the option is urs...but as i said earlier, if u r NOT into gaming (or animation stuff)then it wont be required much

well, if u buy it online, u hv the option to talk to the cust exe. and reduce the price abit more...but i guess u will hvto pay the delivery charges (i am not sure) but DELL couriers the lappy by blue dart couriers...i guess...and, sorry i hv no idea abt speakers for lappys (i use ep 630)

N those accessories i mentioned dont come in included price. You have to pay extra for them. You can choose them as a part of the package along with the laptop.

ooh i see, well sory i didnt knew abt those accessories wud cost u extra holes in ur pocket..

well, for 50K u can get Sony Vaio e Series (with core i3-330m, 1GB ati 5650, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM etc...)

Acer 5740 is another lappy u can go for wich will cost u less than 50K (i dont remember its pricing) but i guess its like 44-45K...

i myself hv bought SOny Vaio e Series and it plays games really smooth on 1600 "ish" resolution of crysis with high settings (not ultra high, plz note) also, plays gr8 CnC, Fifa, farcry2 etc etc...

I today saw dell studio 15's ad with 1GB 5470 card in 44900, u can check studio 14 or 15 also in that price

[ashu888ashu888]

if gpu is a main concern, then 5470 is NOT a goodcard, not even good than 4xxx (i forgot the exact model, as im a nVIDIA fan)..lol...
