Are the G50-70 series and G510 different? I was under the impression that i5 was coming in two different SKUs: with and without dedicated graphics card.

The g50-70 is coming with a 1.6 ghz U series processor which is slower than the i5 4200m 2.5ghz coming in the G510 .........

There are no good local gaming laptops available which pack a punch.By current standards for good gaming performance anything below 860m is a no go.820m is a pos,840m has lazy ddr3 memory ,,heck even older 8850m is better than new 840m..

Anyways the cheapest laptop with 840m i could find is ASUS X555Ln
ASUS X555LN - Core i5-4210U 15.6" HD Nvidia 840M 2GB 4GB 1TB (1 Yr. Local Warranty) Price in Pakistan - HomeShopping.pk

and the midrange housing gtx 860m is a sager for 119,000 via homeshopping(sad got to pay 20k additional over current msrp)

ANd the solid beast G751 series housing gtx 970m available for 1500$ from us here selling for around 180kk again homeshoping and those meh charges

I love mobile gaming and prefer laptops over desktops due to their mobility but the price makes you jump off a cliff :/

Hi guys...
Nice thread..
Any suggestion for a laptop with 14'' display, having backlit keyboard under 45k.
It will be used for day-to-day work only. No gaming.
Condition: New

Where are you getting it from and What is the exact model? Btw, I don't think a x40 gpu is good for gaming...Atleast buy a laptop with x60 gpu...

2 things.

1. Screen isn't that good
2. Dual 650m sli...some games don't support sli well...you will see microstutters.

Bonus: this is the older y500...For 1 lakh...not a good deal

leave it man , go for a lenovo Y50 in this price range , GTX 860M AFAIK PERFORMS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE 650M SLI , ALSO LATEST DRIVER SUPPORT ,ALSO NEWER CPU IN THE Y50

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
