Hie guys, I am going to buy a new laptop & at the moment I am considering this, it fits my budget of maximum 40000 INR

I am not into hardcore gaming, my pripriority is, Great screen, cos I watch lot of tv series, good battery, & not too heat friendly, I am not a rough user, but I do use for hours,as for the gaming, I prefer games like Max Payne 3, or some good graphic gun games, nothing topline, but good average decent games....hope to hear soon...thanks in advance.

No, dedicated GPU's aren't great and personally this laptop won't be able to run MAX PAYNE 3 mainly because its one of the hardest games to run even on low settings.

Also, laptops not designed for gaming will likely overheat overtime. Personally this laptop is great for everything else apart from gaming. If you want a good gaming laptop which can play games without overheating and do its job as well, it will go over your budget.

All my advice I could give is that ALIENWARE laptops are the best for gaming but they are damn expensive but worth it...

That laptop is actually pretty nice for that price. I'm not sure about Max Payne 3. It's over a year old so my guess is maybe on low. Recommended is a GTS 450 which is just a little better than the A10.

Battery life will be average with realistically maybe 4 hours use on battery alone. The screen is nothing special so if a great screen is important, I would look elseware.

All in all, you are pretty budget limited here, but Lenovo is a good company and that's a nice Laptop.

Thanka for the headsup guys! will the above laptop at least play nfs series/halo and something of the similar gebre to Max payne but not so high on graphic game? If not, Id rather cut my budget by 30% n buy a normal laptop which has hd video playback n good battery

Thanks man :), I think I will look at some options around under 30000INR, there are some interesting laptops with 4gb ram n good display with a normal Intel HD 4000 which should be good enough for hd videos & net surfing....
