Hi,

I am looking for a laptop for gaming but as my budget is at 40k I have these 2 options, pls suggest which one to go for

1: dell inspiron 14
I3 3227u 1.9ghz 3m cache
4 gb ram/ 500 gb hdd/ nvidia gt730m 2 gb

2: lenovo g500s
I3 3120m 2.5ghz 3m cache
4gb ram/ 500gb hdd/ nvidia gt720m 2 gb


I am confused among these as 1 is slow cpu with better graphics and 2 Is better cpu with lower graphics

Pls suggest

More about : 3227u nvidia gt730m 3120m nvidia gt720m

Go with the second one, It has got a better balance than the 1st one especially looking at the speed of the CPU. The GPU in both cases is more or less the same. These are entry level GPUs anyways. I recommend to go for the 2nd one..

As far as I know Rams, HDDs, DVD drives can be upgraded not GPUs in laptops...

One more option I could find in lenovo

Lenovo g500

I5 3230m
2.6ghz with turbo boost 3.6hz

4gb ram/ 2gb ati sunpro 8750m. ( seems old)

Its not nvidia. . So should I still go for nvidia one or consider this?

Absolutely.. You should have told this first. This set up looks much better than the other two. Its got AMD Radeon HD 8750 which is an upgraded mobile version of the 7750.. This looks a better deal to me.. And it will be much better than the 720 and 730s. You will be able to play all games at high resolution except Crysis 3 and will get around 40+ frame rates. You should really opt for this one..

HD 8570m is not a great GPU. Had it benn 8750 I would have recommended that but from the 3 links you gave I would have opted for the second one..

Thanks Pruthvi, One last comparision ,. Am comparing the 2nd option with an amd processor

Which one would be better gt720m or amd 8670m? please suggest among these 2. Also can you please tell the games which i can run on these

Go with the 8670m.. It's a bit better than the 720m .. Also the processor of the laptop in the link is a much better one housing a 2.4 Ghz 3rd generation processor. But games like Farcry 3, Crysis 3 will run at low settings. Fifa 14 and other such non-Crytek engine games will run fine at medium and high setttings depending on the game.. Call of Duties should also run fine as they are not much graphics demanding..

And 1 more thing, if you really want to play games at high settings then at least get an HD 8770m.. That will be quite a good GPU and you will never look back. Have a look at this link:

I searched a lot. Couldn't find one at any price range. There's a whole lot of 8670m based laptops. If you don't find them just buy the 8670 based one which fits your budget. Just got one Youtube link of an 8770m based laptop. You can check it out:

Pruthvi.. pls tell me your review on the 8670m .. will it be better than nvidia gt720m? Because i need to make a choice between them . Also tell me if I can play games with one of these gpu's at 2 gb on i3 3120m 2.5ghz/ 4gb ram

They're both SUPER similar so no point comparing , even if one is 5% better, you shouldn't see a difference when playing games

I think that's better. Try to find a Laptop with i5-3230M and GT 640M , Great Laptop. I've seen one before , but I forgot where. It's balanced and it's not bad for gaming at Low - Med settings

Likei said , your CPU should at least reach 3 GHz . If you want a simple solution , BUILD YOUR OWN PC , IT'S CHEAPER AND EASIER.

And the one with HD 7670M is better

Go for the GT 640m. It's a much better GPU. At Tom's Hardware they say spend more on GPUs than on CPUs and motherboards. Its a second class GPU and you will be able to play all games at medium settings with high resolution. A GPU is responsible upto 80% for performance level gaming if not more. So go for this set-up and also have look at this link:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-640M.715...
It says clearly that it is a 2nd class GPU with a GDDR5 memory which is way faster...

GDDR3 is a special form of Gaming Ram which is different from the normal Ram. There's no such comparison at our level at least. You would better off with a RAM designer to know the difference.

Go for the GT 635m. It's slightly better than the 7670m. Also both are Class 3 GPUs so the difference will be pretty minor say 10% and you have to play all games at low settings. I would really recommend you to get something from the 2nd class. Take a look at this link:

Absolutely. Till 1080P the difference between a 1 GB and 2 GB card for gaming is negligible. That 1 GB extra RAM is useless. Try to grab a GPU from the 2nd class of that list. That will be a decision you won't regret. Don't buy off in a hurry. Search more and see what you can find. Search for AMD Radeon graphics. You will find them a little cheaper compared to NVidia(generally).

no , Turbo Boost would only boost up till the given speed which is 2.7 GHz . The HD 8670M is still better than the HD 8730M .

Hi ibm,

I found one more time with gt740m . I had to extend my budget
Give me your opinion in this

It has i5 3230m and 1 gb 740m. . Lenovo didnt confirm me whether this gpu has optimus or not.. optimus to be used to switch b/w gpu and intel hd 4000 for reducing the power consumption and bettery time when not gaming. .

It has i5 3230m and 1 gb 740m. . Lenovo didnt confirm me whether this gpu has optimus or not.. optimus to be used to switch b/w gpu and intel hd 4000 for reducing the power consumption and bettery time when not gaming. .


Finally , something that looks promising. This laptop looks really good ! I'd buy it myself if I coudn't build my own Desktop.

The GT 740M does support Optimus so don't worry.
Here's a website that could help you
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-740M.899...

I'm sure this Laptop can last you a few years provided you mantain it well.
I'll try to find other laptops on Flipkart for you.

Absolutely. Till 1080P the difference between a 1 GB and 2 GB card for gaming is negligible. That 1 GB extra RAM is useless. Try to grab a GPU from the 2nd class of that list. That will be a decision you won't regret. Don't buy off in a hurry. Search more and see what you can find. Search for AMD Radeon graphics. You will find them a little cheaper compared to NVidia(generally).


Hi

I could find a second class gpu 8730m

Dell inspiron 15
I5 3337u 1.8ghz to 2.7 ghz / 2gb gpu
The cpu is an ulv but I thought the turbo boost will help

Will it be better than i5 3230m 2.6ghz to 3.2 ghz with 8670m?

Pls suggest


no , Turbo Boost would only boost up till the given speed which is 2.7 GHz . The HD 8670M is still better than the HD 8730M .


Hi ibm,

I found one more time with gt740m . I had to extend my budget

If you are gona play games on a laptop always buy a separate USB Keyboard. Never play on the stock one.. And a mouse too..

Maybe you should try the keyboard on the laptop before deciding whether to buy a separate keyboard.

Here's a website that has a review on the i5-3210M. It's just 0.1 .GHz slower than the i5-3230M so it shouldn't be a problem. I recommend the GT 640 too if you want something cheaper than the GT 740M.

It's pretty difficult to find a good Laptop. Why don't you just build your own desktop ? It's better. You get to choose better quality parts , and you save time and money.

Hi ibm,

I need a laptop only..

Here are the two ones am looking at

Lenovo z580
I5 3230m /1 gb gt635m/ 4gb ram/500gb

@ 39000 inr
http://www.thedostore.com/laptops/ideapad-laptops/ideap...


Lenovo z500
I5 3230m/ 1gb gt 740m 64 bit/4gb ram/1tb
@ 46000 inr

www.thedostore.com/laptops/ideapad-laptops/ideapad-z500...

The only difference here is
The gpu..so pls tell me is this gpu worth the extra cost? Or shall i stick my my budget of 40000 inr and go for gt635m. .


Ibm, pruthvi pls suggest ..

Laptop with the GT 740M is obviously better. It has 1 TB of Hard Drive drive space and ( not sure if you like this ) Windows 8. It supposedly boots faster than Windows 7.
I guess it's all about your budget now. Do you enough money ?

Hi ibm,

My budget is limited to 40000 only .. :( 

Other gpu's I could find were 7670m, 8670m, 720m

I leftout the ulv's as they were reaching only till 2.7 max on turbo and u strongly recommended me that cpu should reach atleast 3 ghz

Can u tell me if gt635m is of some good ?with the i5 3230m. . Will I be able to run some games on mid? Like black ops2, max payne 3, battlefield3 as some games would be cpu intensive

the Black ops series aren't very demanding games. So you'll most probably be able to play it on the GT 635M . But for BF3 , you'll most probably be able to play it on Med settings and get 30 FPS. Not too sure about max Payne but it is most probably playable in Med settings too. Maybe 25++ FPS , about the same as BF3.
