(not just value,its gold for money) !!!nnthis is the best gaming laptop in this price range no doubt about thatnits core i7 version is of course better in performance but its not worth the extra 20k surely,as the-n1.Screen sizen2.Resolutionn3.Cameran4.RAM,n5.HDDn6.OSn7.Sexy red baclit keyboardn8.Optical drive(very important nowadays as u dont get it,i dont know why they do that,its not like DVD's have dissapeared from the computer era)nn9.The looksnn10.The GPU(most important !) -its GT 755m not 750m !, which is way better !!! nand the most important part that the Optical disk drive is an ULTRABAY !!! which means u can swap out the optical drive and replace it with a EXTRA CPU FAN or more importantly an SLI GRAPHIC CARD which increases performan of every game by 10-20 fps.nnFEATURES ARE ALL EXACLTLY THE SAME IN THE i5 AND i7 MODELSnnBATTERY LIFE is 5HRS in the i5 model and 3HRS in the i7(of course!!!)nnonly advantage of the i7 model is that it has a VGA port (CMON WHO NEEDS THAT ? !!!)nnThe difference is just the core i5 and i7(cache speed,processing speed)nnif u are a gamer u should know that the processor does not effect the gaming performance as such(untill its too bad or old like if u try comparing pentium 4 or dual core with i7 or i5)nnwell i5 or i7 does not effect the gaming fluidity or fps visible.nit only affects the loading time and world graphic detail loading,character loading etc and believe me it does'nt affect that much if u have i5 or the i7.nnall im saying is that this is the best and i7 model is not worth the extra 20knif u still wanna show off or burn or destroy your money go ahead buy the i7 ;) nnGames titles like-nFIFA 14nSniper Ghost Warrior v2 and v3nBatman:Arkham OriginsnNFS:RivalsnBattlefield series(till 4)nCall Of Duty series(till ghosts)nMax Payne 3nBioshock InfinitenElder Scrolls:SkyrimnnTHEY ALL RUN FLAWLESSLY ON ULTRA SETTINGS(1920 X 1080 full HD and everything maxed out) except some in which u can play in high settings.Latest games like Watch Dogs and real world games like Far Cry and Assasins Creed 4 are also easily playable on med-high settings.nnThe best setting to play smooth flawless games is 1600 X 900 ,everything maxed out and if need more performance then turn down the anti-aliasing.

First of all a few clarifications for a few people out there wondering about the exact specifications. I got my Unit delivered yesterday (12-05-2014) and the manufacturing date on the box is Dec 2013.. The laptop i received has a Gefore GT 755M n not a 750 as mentioned in the specs on Flipkarkts page. And this unit comes with an DVD RW in its Ultrabay. You can anytime remove the dvd drive n replace it with a cooler or a HDD or another graphic card. Now lets do Pros n ConsnnPros : n1. Value for Money - I cannot stress enough how good this laptop is for the price. (I got it for 56k)nn2. Build Quality - Its built with brushed metal so its sturdy n durable. But the bottom n sides are made of plastic, but u hardly will be looking at those parts of the laptopnn3. Sound - JBL speakers are fine, one of the best in the market ryt now. But its not mind blowing or something. The real magic happens when you connect a decent pair of headphones to the laptop. The Dolby home theater kicks in and movies sound insaley crisp. I saw the movie 300 and i could hear the leaves creek and the wind wooshing, and all of this in surround sound. nn4. Screen - Full HD screen is a must on laptops cmon. All the 5 inch smartphones has a 1080p screen these days. So u will obviously need one on a 15 inch laptop. Good viewing angles too.nn5. Keyboard - This is the most favourite thing about this laptop for me. Not just cuz it glows in an awesome red colour, but also cuz of the feel u get wen u press the key. Really slick.nnCons:n1. Finger Print Magnet - I have praised it for its metallic construction, but i find it really hard to keep the lid and the palm rest clean. I havent used it for 24hrs yet and there r finger prints as if i have been using it for months.nn2. Heavy - weighing at 2.7 kgs its not the lightest or the thinnest laptop out there. But considering the specs it packs it is fairly thin. Especially wen compared to some other gaming laptops.nn3. Battery Life - Using the laptop just for generic purposes like web suring n movie watchin n listenin music, yu get around 5hrs. Which in this day and age, espically with Haswell processors is not upto the mark. And wen you play games and do video editing or photoshop u can expect only 2.5hrs of battery. So this might be a problem for a few people.nnThose are the only cons this laptop has really. I believe it can easily be overlooked considering what it can do and at what price you are getting it for. nnI havent gamed yet, but with 2gb of 755M im sure i could play any game out there in Medium to High settings. Some of the games can be played at Ultra settings too but that will drop your frame rates.
