* What's your Budget? (e.g. >30K, not more than 50K etc.)
Can stretch upto 75k for a good deal
* What will be your primary usage for the notebook be? (e.g. web surfing/office apps/Casual Gaming)
Desktop replacement. Would be using it for surfing, movie watching, office work, should run servers (Jboss, WCS etc) and IDEs like Eclipse, WCS RAD etc comfortably. Would not be using it much for gaming as have x360 for that.
* What size and weight considerations do you have? (e.g. Do you want a 17" desktop replacement or you want an ultraportable 12" or something in between)
17" atleast. Prefer full HD resolution and Blu Ray drive. Portability not much of an issue as have a 11" HP netbook for that(DM1z).
* Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest? (e.g some would prefer to stay away from Acer or Dell)
Any brand with good service support in Bangalore.
* Any other considerations? (e.g Battery life; Widescreen/non-widescreen; Glossy/Matte screen etc.)
Battery life - more the merrier (2.5 hrs min). Prefer i7 based lappie as would be using this lappie for atleast 3 yrs, so need future proofing as well.
Have looked at Dell XPS 17 so far.. Not sure about the 3D thing plus its going a bit over-budget. I don't see HP Envy 17 also listed in HP India's site. Planning to buy the lappie in a month's time or so.. Any other recommendations guys? Appreciate any help on this.. Cheers..
