1

*Hello geeks, i am looking forward to buy a laptop or ultrabook. I have included details of my requirements below.

What’s Your Budget: -***
Max 55K

***What will be your primary usage for the notebook be - *
**For Client Presentations, Using 3D applications like 3D’s Max, After Affects, Photoshop, Rendering. I don’t want to do major 3d work in the laptop. Because i already have a workstation. So the laptop should be for small works and mainly for client presentations.

What size and weight considerations do you have -
I am looking for a thin, sleek and lightweight like Ultrabook. Screen could be 13’’ or 14’'.

***Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest -
***I am open to HP, Sony or Lenovo. Not sure about DELL because i have been hearing a lot of complaints. I have selected few models like:-

**1. **Lenovo U300s
**2. **HP Pavilion DV6-7040TX
**3. Lenovo IdeaPad U410 **
4. HP ENVY 4-1025tx Notebook PC

***Any other considerations -
***HD resolution, Min. 4GB ram, 1GB grafix card, Multidrive (Does Ultrabook has it ?)

**Would be glad to hear your suggestions and recommendations. Thanks.

Nothing better than new Vaio S series SVS13112EN.

  • 3rd gen i5 with HD4000, sufficient enough for your all computing and graphical need.

  • 1.72kg makes it super light weight.

  • 6hrs of battery life.

  • Last but not least backlit keyboard :cool43:

And do not forget to extend warranty by 2 years @ 2.5k.

You can get this locally at ~51-53k.

Thanks Jugga sounds like a great deal. But i am kinda liking Lenovo U410. Not sure whether it will fulfill all the requirements or not. Also like to know what others have to say.

Care to mention why ?

U410 is an ultrabook, and you shouldn’t really put it against mainstream notebook. It will also cost higher. BTW what did you meant by “multidrive” ?

6

​Multidrive means it can read and write DVD/CD’s.

7

^then forget it with ultrabooks. Most ultrabooks don’t come with an ODD, U410 is in same line.

**
If i would go for a laptop rather than a notebook or ultrabook. What options i could look into in which i can get a - 14’ or 15’ inch screen with i5 or i7, HD resolution, 1GB grafx, 4-8GB RAM, Good Sound.**

So did you get the U410 finally? Any reviews of it?

10

Yup i got U410 :), i am loving it. its quite light & boot times are pretty fast. Although it comes with Windows 7 Home basic, which i am thinking of upgrading it to professional or ultimate. Trackpad is pretty smooth, it did hang for once when i connected the battery with it, but since then its working absolutely fine. I have not installed any 3d software uptil now, to judge the processor speed. However i am pretty much happy with U410

anyway congratz, Lenovo has low build quality compared to others. So, I’d advise you to handle it with Utmost care like your 1 month baby.

14

i think u r entitled for upgrade to windows 8 if u dont mind the metro interface. i think it will be either free or will cost 6-700bucks

15

I am not sure about this, neither the sales people told me. Are you sure, because there’s nothing like mentioned on their website.
