Which One to buy ?

[Syamantak]

Guys I live in India and my budget for a new laptop is ₹35k.A used alienware m11x R3 with i7,GT 540M,8GB RAM and 750GB HDD is being sold for ₹36k.New laptops in my budget have a i5-4210U,1TB HDD,8GB RAM and GT820M.My purpose will be gaming at low res. And programming.Should I get used alienware or a new laptop with the above specs. ? If you want to suggest me any laptop please give their link from any Indian website like Flipkart and amazon.in

If you can get an 820M within you price range, and just want low-res gaming, get it. That's plenty for low resolutions.

Brillis will I be able to run demanding games like Watch Dogs,Mafia 2,COD AW,Far Cry 4 at low res. With the 820M.Or will it be better to buy the used Alienware ?

I was browsing around on amazon.in, and found this.

http://www.amazon.in/Lenovo-59422410-15-6-inch-Windows-without/dp/B00LX14TBG/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1424934894&sr=1-4&keywords=gaming+laptop

Is there anyway you could find a little extra money? This laptop is far ahead of the other 2 we were looking at. You could play on medium settings with it.

Brillis the laptop you suggested has negative reviews and complains of bad keyboard,bad trackpad and cheap build quality.And the performance of 8570M DDR3 is not so good in many games.Notebook check.net says 8570M DDR3 averages 11 fps on sleeping dogs on low settings

Well if it's down to the 540M (Alienware) and 820M, then it's a no brainer. The 820M is several generations newer, and will outperform the 540M (despite the misleading numbers).
