Hey everyone,i am going to buy a new laptop and i was wondering if i should go for 4th gen i5 or 3rd gen i7.I will basically use my laptop for quite a lot of gaming,a little music,movie watching and surfing the net,so the basic functions with the exception of gaming.So,what do u guys recommend?

THANK YOU

Generally the i5 is plenty for gaming. The 4th gen i5 will consume less power, so if your on battery on the road you will have a bit more battery time (if that matters to you). The i7 is good too, but if the cost difference is a bit too much I would go with the i5. Did you have some make/models that you had in mind?


 


 


AFAIK, flipkart will never get the y510p gt 755m sli model. The new Y50 series is already on the way. Even if they did it will be around 100K.
You can check out some gameplay video on youtube for the single gt 750m model.
