[QUOTE="flipsyde, post: 1159718, member: 37715"] Hi all. This is my first thread/post on techenclave. I am in the market for a new laptop. I mostly use AutoCAD, Sketchup, Photoshop and occasionally 3Ds Max at work and GTA 4, NFS, Grid and surf the web at home. I have looked at the Dell Studio XPS 16 and the Sony VPCEA16 so far. If I am going in for the Dell it will be purchased from the US for $1399 and comes with i7+4GB+ATI 5730. The Sony will be purchased here in Chennai for 55k and comes with i5+4GB+ATI 5650. To start with, I am not too concerned with screen sizes. I can do just fine with a 14 or a 16 inch screen. But if its a 16 inch screen I would insist on full HD though a HD screen would suffice for a 14 inch. Battery should last me a minimum 2.5hrs, more the better. Service backup is also very important. I cannot be without a laptop as my work fully depends on it. I almost picked up the Sony when my friend asked me to look at the Dell Studio XPS 16. The Sony build quality is not that great. A 2 year warranty extension costs me 5k. The Dell on the other hand has a very good build and comes with 2 years basic warranty out of the box. It also has a i7 processor, 1333Mhz Ram, a 7200rpm HDD and a slightly better graphic card. If anyone out here can help me with a coupon or code with which I can get a discount on the Dell Studio XPS in India I will gladly take them out for a beer!! In the midst of all this confusion I have also been asked to take a look at the Dell Vostro 3700 (i7+4GB+Nvidia 330M) and a Macbook Pro 13 (C2D+4GB+Nvidia 320M). I am hopelessly lost on my purchase and need help. BADLY! Its a lot of money and I don't want to end up regretting my decision.
