dante77 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 ^^but buying core 2 duo in 2010 is pretty...... idiotic (No offence). If he only wants intel tell him to go for i5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridenthawk Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi guys, I am looking to buy a notebook for college/work/gaming. My budget is 40,000. I am looking for a laptop that can play recent games on at least moderate settings. Can someone please recommend a laptop for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 @tridentHawk, you can check out sony vaio , there's a laptop costing 49k, comes with 5650 1GB ATI card, i3 processor, Full HD screen and 4GB RAM. I think you can play most of the current games at moderate settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 These days I wonder though, which company is better in terms of build quality and after sales support.. All my friends who have Acer, Sony or HP say that the after sales sucks and it is very hard to get anything done.. There are chances that you might get something fixed quickly by fluke otherwise most of these companies' service center guys just keep sitting on the notebooks and many times return it without actually doing anything and take a lot of time if it needs to be replaced.. In that perspective I feel these days there are only 2 companies in India that you can rely on.. 1 is Apple and 2nd is Dell.. Dell may not be top of the line but atleast their after sales service is good plus you dont need to keep making visits to any service center as it is on site..

Infinity091 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Need help deciding on a new gaming rig. I have a Budget of 55k and I can't decide between a M15x or a configured desktop. A friend is coming back from the US so I can ask her to get the M15x along with her. Will there be any warranty/customs issues with that? Or I can configure a desktop. What is a better option?

spindoctor Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 get a desktop. for the price, it will always outperform those flashy overpriced alienware laptops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity091 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 But what can I get in 55k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 a really good mid-level gaming machine... check the TE monthly buying guide for more details.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity091 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ya but can someone suggest a configuration so that I can compare it to the M15x. Also i don't need a monitor or speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 i5+p55 (15.5k) 5850 (15k) 4GB Ram (4-5k) Any decent PSU (not sure on this) CM cabinet (around 2.5k) 500GB HDD (around 4k) Its just approximate price and I might be wrong.

Infinity091 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Okay and how do I go about this? I live in Delhi so I'm guessing i should go to Nehru Place to buy the parts? And how exactly do i go about assembling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 dunno ask someone who lives in delhi. Also, the rig I posted will cost you about 45k or less so you can for i7 too as your budget is 55k Also, I don't suggest you a gaming laptop. The real prob in laptops are that you can't upgrade them and tiny screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity091 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 ^ I also want to buy Windows 7, so which edition would be most appropriate and how much would it cost? Also I don't know much about all this stuff so I don't know how I'm suppose to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity091 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Also I am using a using a 19 inch viewsonic monitor (VA1912w) right now. Is that good enough or do I need to change that too? Edited June 10, 2010 by Infinity091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Bird Bird Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ya but can someone suggest a configuration so that I can compare it to the M15x. Also i don't need a monitor or speakers. Check out the PC Buying guide on TE .. You can mix and match components from the High End Gaming - 80k rig and the Mid End Gaming - 66k rig, and you will def end up with a superb rig for your price point. You can get Win 7 Home Premium for Rs. 5675 here..!!.. Guess you can get a student discount also, only if you are a student though .. Get all the hardware from Nehru Place and go through Youtube vids for assembling guides etc.. And dive into your first experience tinkering with the hardware..
