Whoa

Just Rs. 60,000 for this beautiful system ? You must be joking. This can beat the crap out of every single laptop at that price range. Weather apple, dell or acer, nobody can survive against this beautiful baby.

Well, 2 major +Points which this one has and its competitors still doesn't have and those are surely the killers at this price range:

--> 4 GB DDR3 RAM running at a freaking 1066 MHz on a lappy....
--> nVidia 9800M GTS 512 MB GDDR3... (Not freaking 8800M GTX or 9800M GTX but its quite enuf I guess)
PLUS all usual perks. And even in US, this is one hell-lot-a-config at this s-w-e-e-t price point. So if any of ya plannin to get a lappy frm US soon, watch out for this one...

VFM... yes... but Gateway is known for such combos... only thing.... they normally lack overall.

The price is pretty..... but US..... maaan....... & dont expect performance as a similar-specced DELL... & forget build quality.

You can also look at gateway P6831FX. It was always out of stock on best buy store and website.
