Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a 50 to 60k laptop with the following requirements :

  • What's your Budget? :
  • INR 50 to 60k [the lower the better - obviously]
  • What will be your primary usage for the notebook be?
  • Demanding work would include 3D modelling and opening complex CAD files in solidworks, etc.
  • Other than that office work (basic excel, mail, etc) - need a good response time with these tasks (hence thinking of SSD/Hybrid)
  • What size and weight considerations do you have? :
  • 15 inch. weight is not a consideration.
  • Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest?
  • No specific brands (though I feel that the others do not come as close to lenovo in fulfilling my requirements).
  • Any other considerations?
  • Major requirements :
    Screen quality and resolution : Need a good screen with 1080p res.
    Capable graphics : My other office laptop has an HD 6770M with 2GB gfx memory (and i7 2630QM proc) which has proven sufficient for all 3D modelling tasks. Anything at par with this should be enough.
    Fast response with windows tasks : I think an SSD should help here, as my work involves frequent opening and closing of files.
    Design : It does matter to me.

I'm confused between the following :

1. Lenovo y510p - lacks a hybrid drive
2. Lenovo z510 - has GT 740M as opposed to 750M in y510p
3. Wait for maxwell - no news on how long or what price point it may launch at.

I really want to know if waiting for maxwell would be worth it. I'm not prepared to pay a premium for it, in case it launches with higher prices, since my graphics needs are pretty much met with my current HD 6770M.

Thanks !
