My friend needs a laptop as he will be going to college this year. He plans to use his laptop for basic movies, skype, browsing and a bit of gaming (games like NFS MW, FIFA). The max he can spend is 30k, anything below is welcome.

From what I have seen, he is looking at three brands Compaq, Acer and MSI.

None of the premium brands now if someone can point in the right direction it would be nice.
 
Amongst the brands you mentioned take your preference as 1)MSI 2) Acer 3) Compaq

I wont rule out Acer altogether as I have used one. Though not very rugged machines they do offer good VFM. Heard nice things bout MSI but no personal experience. About Compaq avoid if you can due to pathetic HP support and their weird warranty policies.

Lastly you can post a WTB thread in case anybody is parting with their Dell under warranty considering the new core i series laptops have hit the markets. Cant say for sure but you may find some one.

OT: Mine is not up for the grabs :P

Hope that helps
 
You can check out MSI EX 401. It comes with a 256 mb ati video card which should run NFS games till MW and fifa games till 07 atleast.
 
Anyone with some specific model numbers. He is not open to 2nd hand purchases.

It comes within 30000.
It has three versions
