Hi All,
I really need some help here. Planning to buy a laptop which should have a decent display with good graphics card and good processing power so that it can used for some quick photoshop work(not very critical kind of work but should be true to the colors). What should be processor I should be looking at?
Also if the Laptop is easily able to run a good external monitor (like Dell U2311, as I'm planning for one) without loosing any detail then nothing beats that. So better if the Laptop has a good graphics card/processor.
Would probably need 4GB RAM around.
Not looking for a screen size bigger than 14 inch as I would be using it to carry it around during shoots.
Budget will be south of 50k. I know I might be asking for the moon but anything closer to what I'm looking for?
Shouldn't get heated up too much after 3-4 hours of work. Decent battery backup is also needed.
No gaming, might be some occasional movies but not on the top of list. And would be playing some music at times.
Should a Dell XPS fit the bill? Anything other than that? May be some HP model? XPS is bit out of budget as of now.
Please help.

No response at all?? Anyone? Help..
 
XPS15 Full HD display is your best bet. It is among the best laptop displays!!

But it will cost you ~54k and also is slightly bulky

Base XPS 15 model with FHD display -> Rs.52,687 + Rs.900 shipping -> ~ 53.5k
 
Thanks a lot guys for the responses, really sorry that I was not able to surf the forum for quite some time. I've decided to not go for Laptop and will probably getting a Desktop. I've already got a monitor (U2311H) after some research and my need (Mostly photo editing) and to me it seems like I'm better off with a Desktop as I can get the components and build a better machine than sticking to a Laptop. I hope that it's a better and more sensible option.
 
Thats a really good choice..

Go for an i7+ 8GB + a Decent GFX card Like GTX570 for some serious work.. It should last you enough for medium work too..
