Hi,
So since my old laptop shitted I've been urging my dad to let me buy a new one. So, I need your opinions and suggestions on what to buy as I don't know much in this case.
My budget is around 800$ (USD) which is ~50k in my country. My budget is really tight as I'm using my savings so I can't exceed it.
As of now I've gone through few of them and I think HP Pavilion-15-p278tx would be a good one.
You can look it up here: http://www.flipkart.com/hp-pavilion15-p278tx-notebook-5th-gen-ci5-8gb-1tb-win8-1-2gb-graph-l2z60pa/p/itme3wrydhcqyxyk
Few questions regarding this:-
1. Would I'll be able to play GTA 5 at this budget with decent fps?
2. Would 4gb ram be sufficient for medium-high multitasking like coding and stuff along with games Gta Sa running in background, if not should I go with a 6gb or 8gb one?
Thanks :)
That won't run GTA V and you most likely won't find a laptop for under $800 that will run GTA V at a decent fps.
You'll want more than 4GB of RAM.
That laptop is also way overpriced.

Even though it doesn't I'm fine with it, please post if you got some suggestions.
Its India, Things are overpriced!
I found another one it's dell Vostro 3546
Basic Specs :
4th Gen i5
8GB Ram
1TB HDD
2Gb Nividia 820 GF
I would rather buy a desktop for $1000-$1500 then a laptop. You will pay more for the laptop with the same hardware then for the desktop.

I forgot to mention that, I need a laptop only, I've a PC already which still needs to be fixed.
I want a laptop since I tend to take it with me + I'll be moving to university soon so I'd prefer shifting / carrying a laptop over a Pc :P

That card is a piece of shit. You'd be better off with integrated graphics and paying $200 less.
QuoteIntel Core i5
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1 TB HDD
Windows 8.1
[Apparently] 2GB GPU
I'd call this decent. A bit expensive though...
I have a Lenovo, but I can't recommend as you won't get as much bang for buck. I think the big brands like HP and Dell may be the same way.
I remember fondly the Asus N50 which I used when creating the server originally and my dad uses it now; it's good enough to play San Andreas and even GTA IV. I'm not saying you should get the N50, but I think Asus is a good brand as long as you get something with dedicated graphics (other than intel!). I also recommend that you get something with higher resolution than 720p if you get a chance and look into getting an SSD.
Right now even I've a Lenovo which is like 5-6 years old. I was thinking of getting Lenovo Z510 but thats way off my budget (around 950$)
I did some research and found a decent Asus Laptop, Can someone give out his opinion about it.
You can look it up here: http://www.flipkart.com/asus-x550ld-xx082d-notebook-4th-gen-ci7-8gb-1tb-free-dos/p/itmdvyg4krwqgaes
If this doesn't come out as good as I think then I'll move to Inspiron or Pavilion.
And yes, I plan to get a SDD after I save some more money!

Quote from: websiteThis laptop is ideal for extreme gamers as it comes with 2 GB of dedicated video graphics. It sports an NVIDIA GT 820M graphics processor which allows you to play games with maximum video graphics.
That's a load of bullshit. It's as if they have no idea what they're selling.

They really don't have any idea, I read few reviews about Graphics Cards and found this is the entry-mid range one.
Hobo do you think this will be able to run GTA 4 at Max settings around 30-50 fps?
My friend has a Dell Inspiron 14
His specs are:
Core i3/i5 (cant remember)
6gb ram
Along with around 1400mb of Nvidia GPU DDR3
500 GB HDD
And it could run GTA 4 decently at high settings.
And will that Hp Pavilion or any laptop with Nvidia GT 820M GPU (as most of them have this one only) would be able to run GTA V at low-medium setting with around 40-50 fps?
show me where low-med settings will get you 40-50 FPS on GTA V with that laptop?

I'm asking if it would do that lol, I really don't know much about these stuff....
@Carl they don't say what GPU that laptop has, means it's probably intel.

I read the specs at few sites, it either has Nvidia Gf 830M - Would need to update it in order to play GTA V (says the site)
While the Dell one has (Link (http://www.flipkart.com/dell-5548-inspiron-notebook-core-i5-5th-gen-8gb-1tb-win8-1-2gb-graph-5548581tb2s/p/itme4yhhyjfj2tdh?pid=COME4YHKZEPUFZYF&affid=besttechgu)) has a AMD Radeon R7 M265
I've came up with these two as they're the once with better GPU's at this price range
HP Pavilion (http://www.flipkart.com/hp-pavilion15-p278tx-notebook-5th-gen-ci5-8gb-1tb-win8-1-2gb-graph-l2z60pa/p/itme3wrydhcqyxyk)
And Dell Inspiron 5548 (http://www.flipkart.com/dell-5548-inspiron-notebook-core-i5-5th-gen-8gb-1tb-win8-1-2gb-graph-5548581tb2s/p/itme4yhhyjfj2tdh?pid=COME4YHKZEPUFZYF&affid=besttechgu)
Although I liked the Asus one because of its processor but these 2 seems to out run it in the terms of GPU and that's what I'll be requiring mostly.
So, which one do you think is better? I'm also looking for benchmarks to select one of them, few sites on which I did comparison gives more performance/overall score to the HP one.
But I don't wanna regret after buying either of them so, it'll be much helpful if you guys can say your verdict/opinion about these two.
More suggestions are welcomed if its better than these two
I found another one which is better than these 2 on terms for around 49k INR (Thanks to CT website's ads :P), its Acer Aspire V5-573G
You can look it up here: http://m.snapdeal.com/product/acer-aspire-v5573g-notebook-54208g50aii/620531481275?utm_term=mobile&utm_medium=disp&utm_campaign=afts&utm_source=soc_rtg
I did some research and found that this GPU is able to run GTA V on Midium settings around 70 fps which is pretty good I guess.
I hope it'll be available at local dealer or else I'll order it from the same site as I can't find it on some other at same price!
After reading a lods of Site reviews and customer reviews I'm now more confident about buying this laptop.
Apart from this it has an SDD slot :D
