at one point you need "Outstanding Notebook" and at another point your budget doesn't match up, the specs you mentioned are not outstanding they are just ok in 50K budget i will suggest you to by Dell Studio series notebooks.


simply no offense but
Outstanding sounds like this

* Intel® Core™ i7-740QM Processor 1.73 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.93 GHz
* Genuine Windows® 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
* 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM
* 640 GB HDD
* 16.4 (41.6 cm) wide (Full HD: 1920 x 1080) VAIO, Full HD 1080, Adobe RGB 100% coverage
* NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU with CUDA™ Technology with 1 GB DDR3
* Blu-ray Disc™ Drive



cost of this notebook by sony is Rs 1,30,000!!

What does turbo boosts upto means and yes i did asked my questions upon looks of inspiron and studio and sound quality too,are the studio's too upgradable like inspiron ones?
See here:
Inspiron 14R Laptop Details | Dell India
here hard disk is upgradable upto 640 GB but in studios i didn't find this upgrade option
and ya,are studios too customizable like inspiron's?+What about those features like finger print reader and face recognition?are they available in dell?And in the previous thread the thread starter has reported the feature of multimedia remote in hp....what's this????

Sony Vaio F -series is terribly overpriced... don't bother

What does turbo boosts upto means

Its an Intel technology that increases your core clock speed, when the other core/cores is/are idle(dual/quad).


regards studio and Inspiron , go for a studio with i3/i5 and a 1 GB 4xxx ATI card, it will come within 45-55k. But by any measure they would not be outstanding and if you have some US friends, consider buying an ASUS laptop from bestbuy or new egg.

Means sound quality is much better than inspiron even?
And yes,i have seen the inspiron laptop 15r which is upgradable upto 640GB,no studio was seen by me which has this feature.
Many thanks for the reply but please still i have many queries which are left unanswered,answer these quote wise,
Please everyone answer my queries quote wise.

Sorry i don't see such an option on dell site(India) and 500 GB should be enough i guess, if you want more portable HDD's are available!!

Yes face recognition is available in studio.
