Frankly I would use it up till doesn't gives me back up of 15 min

[sumansherlock]

Thanks but the two models are beyond budget What do you think about HP dv6 6155TX or asus K53SV-SX267D? Need a USB 3.0 port too...so any other models will also be appreciated. Also, I read some reviews about the asus in flipkart, those really letting me down there...

6490m is a very weak card..i dont think 6490m will run skyrim on high settings....may be possible at low...so say no to HP dv6 6155TX...
take a look at this model
HP Pavilion dv6-6140tx
HP Pavilion dv6-6140tx Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
i dont think it is available....check some stores if you find then get it asap

if not now you have only two options under 50k...
sony vaio E series VPCEB46FG/B (5650m)
VPCEB46FG : E Series : VAIO™ Laptop & Computer : Sony India

and asus K53SV-SX267D (540m)
asus is good brand... i too read reviews in flipkart...but others are all positive
and also some members here bought it too...540m is a slightly better than 5650m...imo go for asus

[Mak91]

CB35 seconded! I own that. Check link in my sig for its review.

Thanks dude...but the model is currenly unavailable in my place and also, no sony service centre here. So I'm going with HP dv6-6154TX Hope it lasts the torture coming its way...

Formatting & installing OS to a netbook's HDD by connecting it to PC will cause any issues?

Also can Samsung NetBook NP-N100-MA05IN run win 7 home basic/ultimate w/o any issues?

1) No.

2) Though you can run 7, but what about adding a GB of RAM? It'll make your work smoother.

OT- Bought your buffalo ext ODD?

It has only one DIMM slot.

Ordered long back still havn't shipped..

I have experience with my friend's N-100. Win 7 ultimate runs fine. i installed it using a bootable pen drive (better and recommended over installing through a PC). But the small screen size will cause discomfort with win 7. So better stick to the default MeeGo or a netbook linux distro like Jolicloud

I have the 6165 and I'm running 3Ds Max, Sketchup and Photoshop at the same time and have no problem. The viewports are very quick and the only time I really found it to be slow was while using V-Ray for Sketchup when it slowed down a lot. Maya seems to run fine as well, again quite smooth. The display could have ideally been a 1920x1080 resolution, but I can always connect it to a larger display both at home and work to get more screen space. I've been told that using Nvidia CUDA GPU's help for 3Ds Max but because my company preferred me to use HP I ended up buying the 6165, but so far can't notice any problems with it and like I said most softwares are running very smoothly.

Never used After Effects so can't comment on it.

[SID91]

OKIE..
At what price you got dv6(65TX)??

AND THERE ARE OTHER
TWO OPTIONS.. ONE DV6(21TX) WITH I7 2630QM 2GHZ WITH 650 HDD(PRICED AT 54250) AND OTHER DV6(65TX) WITH I7 2670QM 2.2GHZ WITH 750HDD(PRICED AT 57100).

OTHER SPECS ARE SAME.. WHICH ONE'LL BE THE BETTER.. I DONT NEED THE ADDITIONAL 100 GB.. BUT.. ARE EXTRA 3000 WORTH SPENDING ON THAT I7

AND IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN GET A STUDENT DISCOUNT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT..

Buy a Dell studio with a i5 proccy, 1 Gb discrete graphics and 3-4 Gb RAM.
That confing should fit your budget properly.

[parthoc]

Can someone please suggest a laptop under 1lac, having at least 64GB SSD hard disk (for Windows 7 OS) alongwith options for adding on another HDD (like with HP laptops which come with optical bay HDD).

Any options with dual hdd (heard HP DV7 series has them, but not available in India)

Tried to configure with Dell, but it seems they do not come with additional second HDD.

Go for Asus, it has the best specs and very good build quality and in local market you can get at a less price if you are good at bargaining

I don't think you need any extra partition manager tool for that. It can be done by using Windows 7 tools.

1. Right click on My Computer icon and select Manage.

2. Inside the Computer Management Window, select Disk Management, present under Storage in the Left hand side. It will show all the HDDs connected to your device and the partitions for each of the drives. In your case there will be a single HDD with a single partition of 750GB.

3. Right click on that partition and select Shrink Volume option. After some internal calculation the Shrink window will open up.

4. It will have the following fields:
i. Total Size before Shrink in MB (total size of the partition in MB) Read Only
ii. Total Size available for Shrink in MB (Total free space of that drive)
iii. Enter the amount of Space to Shrink in MB (Editable). Here provide the
amount of space you want to cut from the Partition.
iv. Total Size after shrink in MB (read Only). It will show what will be the size of the existing partition after shrink and will be updated automatically as per the value put in the 3rd field.

Once the selected value is provided in the 3rd field, simply click on the Shrink button and you are done. Remember, the OS drive, which is the only drive currently in your system, after shrink should have at least 50 GB of free space. So the 4th field should always have 51,200 MB or greater value.
