    Default Help with selecting a laptop

    Hi Sorry for being so quick to create a thread but i want your advices very quickly.
    I am from delhi and looking forward to buy a laptop. Here are the answers to the Questionnaire.

    2) What size notebook would you prefer?
    14" to 15.6"

    3) Which country will you buying this notebook?
    i would like to buy it from a local shop in delhi,if flipkart or letsbuy offers a less price than nehruplace then i will go for it.

    4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
    Dislike:Samsung(the looks are poor),Toshiba(fear about the quality of product)
    Like:everything else

    5) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
    Webbrowsing,play game for sometime,watch movie etc

    6) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places, leaving it on your desk or both?
    mostly i will leave it in desk

    7) Will you be playing games on your notebook? If so, please state which games or types of games?
    yes,nfs games

    8) How many hours of battery life do you need?
    3-5 hrs

    10) What OS do you prefer?
    i would like to install win7 after buying it with dos or linux.

    11) What screen resolution(s) would you prefer?
    1024x768


    Now i have done some lookaround and made the following list

    1.Dell vostro 1550
    2nd gen Core i3 -2350(2.3ghz)
    2gb ddr3
    500gb hdd
    15.6" screen
    win7 hb
    bluetooth 3.0+hs
    intel hd3000
    rs 30000

    2.Lenovo Z570-59-320887
    2nd gen Core i3 -2350(2.3ghz)
    2gb ddr3
    500gb hdd
    15.6" screen
    dos
    bluetooth 2.1+edr
    1gb nvidia geforce 525m
    rs 32500

    3.Lenovo G570-59-318758
    2nd gen Core i3 -2350(2.3ghz)
    4gb ddr3
    500gb hdd
    15.6" screen
    dos
    bluetooth 2.1+edr
    1GB ATI RADEON
    rs 32500

    4.hp g6 1301tx
    2nd gen Core i3 -2350(2.3ghz)
    2gb ddr3
    500gb hdd
    15.6" screen
    win7 hb
    bluetooth 3.0+hs
    AMD Radeon HD 6470M
    rs 33500

    I am more inclined to dell due to their support but i saw elsewhere that the components in dell at this range are of poor quality and will breakdown frequently. I want to run nfs games like mostwanted,carbon,prostreet like's. So does intelhd3000 is sufficent for it?
    If not how about the lenovo support in delhi. How good is the quality?
    I have heard that hp is the worst quality? how is its 630 series?


    Please reply fast!

    Since you are a bit into games, here's a slightly better deal. Forgoing the i5 but getting an improved GPU.

    I am not sure of their service in delhi, but what i do know is that the laptops are well built and pretty reliable... In fact i have generally found that the build usually puts price comparable laptops to shame.
    A couple of our buddies here had some display issues in their models, but afaik they were a different series. So no probs as i see it.

    Your welcome, I think you don't need a graphic card.

    Can you answer the following questions please!

    1.How good are the lenovo service in NEWDELHI?
    It is ok

    2. The Nvidia geforce 525m is it good enough to play medium range games and some Cad Programs?(I usually like racing games insted of games like "call of duty")

    3.the intel hd3000,does it suits my needs?
    You can play NFS MW, Carbon on Intel 3000 without any lag, so as you are not into hardcore gaming, for basic games Intel 3000 is good.

    4.How is the build quality of lenovo laptops?
    Its not good that is the reason I don't suggest Lenovo Laptops to anyone, only the thinkpad series is good.
    So I suggest you to stay away from Lenovo laptops
