Laptops Suggest a laptop for watching Hd movies

[sato1986]

Hi all

Need a laptop as a download rig, but should be decent enough to play the HD rips which I download

Budget : As low as possible
Requirement : Downloading, Watching 4gb Hd-rips

Source: India or USA(If international warranty)

TIA

a dual core will easily handle ur 720p HD movies. On a side note if a hardware supported video decoding card is cheap enough then you may opt for that also.

dell studio 15

around 45k

best bet

or try to some cheap acer models like acer 5738

hey guys, i bought a Dell Inspiron 1545 with T6500 2.1 C2D, but it still cannot play even 720P movies without loosing audio sync, its frustrating really, i dont know wt i should do, i tried installing CoreAVC, playing it in KMp, VLC evrything nothing works, i guess, the CPU isnt powerful enough.

check setting/codec, i have almost similar proccy T7250, 2ghz and 2mb cache plays flawlessly

I've narrowed down to this:

Newegg.com - TOSHIBA Satellite L505-S5969 NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core T4200(2.00GHz) 15.6" 3GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500M - Laptops / Notebooks

@arch: so this will do the job?

Any indian cheap laptop deal which can handle the job?

 

[forum67]

why are you getting it from US ??Any Acer core 2 duo with intel 4500 HD will do.

sometimes too may codec pack leads to sluggish playback

HP has few models with 780G onboard.... Look out for them... should be ~45k-50k...

you could go for a better proccy, just personal choice.

check out acer laptops, they are good and cheap.

Go for Acer 5738 dudehyeah:

Perfect for ur requirements...

 

[sato1986]

Yup I did a bit of searching around Te and found stormblast's posts regarding Acer 5738z

I guess I'm totally falling for it, it's frekin awesome at 28k !!! :hap2:

thanks to ppl above who suggested to look toward acer :clap:

Just need to ask whether it plays 720p rip w/o lag

 

[dharmilstar]

its there on ebay weekly offer. so with the coupon, it will again be cheaper by 1000 bucks.

 

[MohitPreet]

dont buy a 30k thing form ebay . its too risky!!

who knows u may be ripped off with a 2nd hand piece!!

well, my compaq with a lowly t3200 and intel onboard is able to cope up with 720p reasonably well.I dont think that dell will fail with hd. there might be some other issues.

 

[forum67]

^^ yeah agree.....even my ati X1250 can handle those 720p 4gb rips , even the Intel 4500MHD .

get a cheap lappy and buy a 22-24 inch LCD monitor and enjoy those BD rips .
