Default Buying a laptop


Hi,

I want to buy a new laptop. My budget is 40-45k.

Please suggest me some....

I have searched the net and found Dell 1525 & Dell 1530 suiting my budget and requirements (formal gaming and programming). Other laptops in same range(sony,lenovo,ect) seems to have lower config wrt Dell.


Thanks in advance

Slightly increase your budget and go for Dell 1520.Read the review of 1520 in "Review" section.

I checked the Dell site and compared 1520 with 1525.

At same configuration 1520=>Rs. 54k ; 1525=>Rs. 50k
The only difference was in the video card 1525 had X3100 whereas 1520 had nvidia 8600M GT.

So is nvidia worth 4k

XPS M1530=>58k Too high.

I can at max stretch till 1520.

Other than Dell is there any other lapy in the same range??(better than 1520)

Also should I go for T5450 or T7250 the price difference is 5k

Look for Dell Studio 15 (or) Acer Aspire 5738G these are the best ones which have a graphic card below 50K. At my city Acer Aspire 5738G comes with blue ray reader (not writer) price is something near to 45K.
