Wizzy, thanks! kozhappitteenga! I am confused btw both of Samsung! http://www.flipkart.com/computers/co...MD65DCTZN89XH9

Urs has great gpu, great Screen, less batt life, slightly less CPU,
Mine has average gpu, normal Screen, (slightly) extra batt life, powerful cpu

I was preferring i7 one since i plan to use long term without any hassles, atleast full 4 years without any servicing. The one i have(HP Pavilion) ate my purse more than its price wrt service.

I am not much interested in hi perf gaming etc, and also in Ubuntu, NVidia Optimus drivers still not available so one need to switch to intel. ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/15114...force-gt-520mx ) So in both the Sammy laptop, only one GPU gonna be used, another one gonna be idle in Ubuntu. (Windows, no issues wrt that! )

But ur suggested, has got many reviews! Mine has very less reviews, i googled to find None!

Dinesh, Go here http://ark.intel.com/ Once you have finalized 2 or 3 i3/i5/i7 based models u can compare their CPUs here.

There is an opinion that there actually is not much diff btw 2nd & 3rd gen.

(1st gen is a diff case, for ex, i7 1st gen has some very simple CPU which is uncmparable with the 2nd & 3rd gen i7 So leave out 1st gen)

Also, some 2nd Gen i5 ones are almost similar to 3rd gen i3 CPUs. Either jump into the well and search nook & corner or else consider friends/others comments in Flipkart/ThinkDigit etc..

i am getting increasingly paranoid while reading the reviews of any products...
aint they mostly written by the marketing chaps to give a good impression? i mean, some of them u can see its genuine, but almost 60% of them are twisted.. anybody else feels so or shd i consult a psychiatrist?

Skv, Sammy has increased their prices..this 5 series with quad core was retailing for ~58k..best bet would be to visit their brand store so you get a better deal.

Both are needless! Just make sure u read real good technical reviews which are both technically correct & presented in simple manner!

For ex, take this site which reviews GPUs in PC/Laptops

http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...X.54717.0.html

There is in depth reviews written in simple manner, no Marketing crap stuff. If u want much simple explanation, just see the right side table, it has divided the GPUs as Class 1 to Class 6. Just searching ur Laptop's GPU name will tell you which class is urs sitting! And then compare some 3 or 4 Laptops of similar price point and cross check the GPUs of all, you will get better idea!

Flipkart Comments, they are needed, just that take them with pinch of salt! If there is no comments at all for a laptop in flipkart, that too says something!

See this Page -> http://www.thinkdigit.com/top-products.php They list Top 10 in all category Devices, Laptop/PC/Smartphone/Tablet etc.. The review quality is in-depth and thorough. You can trust them as it is!

Oh ok wizzy! I spoke to an Dealer (Forum Mall) he said right now the offer is 1 year extra warranty/support for All models. Let me see!

This laptop looks yummy!! But me crossing 50K not possible..I have to 'compensate' that for many years "Ungalukku onnunnaa mattum evLO costlyaa irunthaalum vaangiduveenga"
