I own a sony home cinema 5.1 souround 850watt its not bluray or 3D, and I cant get it to work on my samsung 55"inch smart tv 8000series. I connect it through hdmi (arc) and it doesnt play.

If not pls suggest me Good laptop under 30K for daily surfing n movies watching purpose please.

I dont really understand the "Rupees" part (I know its money). Depending on what type of laptop you want. Say do you like 11.6 in, 15.6 in, or a 17 in.? An old one 2005-2010? A new one 2011-2014? Laptop or Hybrid? For Gaming, Casual, Browsing, Business, Server, or a Full Blown out Capable Machine?

Edit: Turns out 30,000 Rupees equal around 480$. I dont know what you want, you gotta be more specific. I do have an ASUS X202E-DB21T, I got it for $429 and seems to be in your budget. Specs are:

Windows 8.1

Touch Screen (10 Touch Points)

500 GB HDD (½ TB)

4 GB RAM

2.9 Pounds

Ultrabook (Although its not as powerful but still)

0.82 mm thick

11.6 in Screen (1366x728)

Intel Pentium 2117U @ 1.8 GHz.

This PC is GREAT for the typical User. Powerful enough to play Light to Medium Games. I tried Minecraft and get 30-60 FPS while on Performance Mode. Also has Virtualization Support, so it handles good virtual machines under the correct limit. Can handle pretty much the basic stuff and a few advanced things. Battery life is under 3 hours in heavy use, 4 hours while light gaming or lots of processing, and about 5 hours on just browsing. Overall this is great for traveling and typical technical use and work. You can get the Core i3 Version, according to CPU Boss: Pentium 2117u and Core i3 3207u they both score 6.2/10. With Core i3 you get Hyperthreading plus Bluetooth. Pretty much all the differences, Core i3 costs 499$ so thats barely out of your budget.

Edit 2: I HIGHLY DOUBT you can get 1TB. Max you can get is 500GB if not 750GB. I saw a 750GB version for $600, and a 1TB for $650. I have a Samsung Series 9 too, 1TB plus 256 GB SSD for $2099 with Core i7, if you are looking for one like that but seems way out of your budget.

[Off-topic] :
Hey!

I got the same problem. It's because your ISO may not be from really legal sites...

Use Linux USB installer(Windows also works). Google for it.

Download the program, insert your USB, and open it. In the huge list of OS's, scroll all the way down to: "Windows 7 Installer". Select it and wait for 20 minutes.

Turn the computer off, and boot in the BIOS. Set the boot order so USB devices will be read first.

Shut down the computer, insert the USB and see the magic happen.

Have a nice day

Okay, I manged to solve the Windows 7 ISO Problem bu another has surged. Okay so a few weeks ago I managed to install Ubuntu 13.10 (It took a lot of struggle to get it to boot on my PC) and now I am going to test Linux Mint 16 Petra. Problem is: Many people complain that on UEFI Systems (my PC) after installing Ubuntu and replacing it with Linux Mint will cause Mint to become unstable and not install or boot.

So, saying this, since my PC is UEFI can I replace Ubuntu and overcome any of the problems? Maybe can I remove Ubuntu completely and leave Windows 8.1 untouched and then install Linux Mint? They say that you can remove the Ubuntu Disk/ Parition (with Grub) and Windows 8.1 will be bootable with out having to reset the PC or using a Installation Disk/Repair Disk, since the removal of Grub won't affect UEFI Systems, is that true?:confused:

U cant turn off uefi right! But you can install it in legacy. Thats what I did. I have a dual boot . Both os installed from legacy. No issue so far. And when u install both os from legacy, uefi and secure boot gets auto disabled from bios. That is the option of uefi will whiten out :)

Most prebuilt desktops and laptops still give you the option to. If it's prebuilt, you have a windows 8 license somewhere so just torrent an iso. You have legal rights to it considering you have a license, so it wouldn't be considered piracy.

Split your drive into partitions, I believe the Windows 8 file system is at most 8gb? Just make a partition for 10 gb. Make this partition the first partition, or use a bootloader that can read from multiple partitions on one drive.

Extract everything from the Windows 8 iso to the partition.

Old video I made explaining how you do it with Chameleon. It was based on the Developer preview, but could easily be used with the GM Windows 8.

Even if you just wanted to write it all on an external usb drive, and 8gb costs less than $10 now.
[Off-topic] 404-Not Found:
Okay, so I tried something kind of reverse but:

I installed Windows 8 from a Win7 PC. After installing I formatted the Win8 parition from Win7 and deleted the volume.....

Now, say I format the Ubuntu volume from Win8 and deleted it, then I went to BIOS and made the PC boot only from UEFI and not Grub....would that work? On BIOS I can put to boot UEFI and just skip Grub so immediately I boot into Win8, would that work?? That would mean that the Win8 parition would be intact, just like the other PC?

EDIT: HOLY SH!T... Guys, that method ^ worked!!! Time to install Linux MInt....

Hello.

This is a question coming from someone with little knowledge of computers (Me).

So I've decided to buy a laptop within a budget of about $900 and I've arrived at the Sony VAIO Fit 15 Series mostly because it has a touchscreen as well as a 1080p panel.

I will mostly use my laptop for gaming, a little video editing, watching movies, browsing etc.

However, I am a bit confused about which configuration to chose.

One variant has an Nvidia GT 740m GPU with a 1TB HDD and the other variant has an Nvidia GT 735m GPU with a 750GB HDD + 8GB SSD.

So the first variant will have slightly better graphics performance but the second one will boot up much faster and will be overall quicker. (Do correct me if I'm wrong). Also, the second variant is a bit more expensive.

I don't really need a big hard disk since I already have a portable 1TB HDD.

So which one should I go for?

Thanks.

You stated that you do gaming with minimal video editing. For gaming, you don't really need much of the CUDA cores as opposed to the available VRAM as the game needs to store the extra frames to ensure smooth framerate whereas in video editing, the program uses the CUDA cores to render each frame so the more CUDA cores, the better for video editing.

After doing some research, the GT 735m seems to be better than the GT 740m in terms of writing.

http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/inde...47&compare=geforce-gt-735m-vs-geforce-gt-740m

It seems to be using a newer architecture (GK208 as opposed to the 740m's GK107) and has a core clock speed which is higher than the 740m's.

I'd say go for the GT 735m. Plus, you've already stated that you don't need that much HDD space and it has the operating system on an SSD which makes it boot up faster.

Good luck in your laptop hunt! Make sure you get some free stuff as well. :D
[Off-topic] 404-Not Found:
Well, if I were you I would go for the first option, considering you already have a 1TB HDD, then a total 2TB would be available. Honestly, between 735M and 740M, there is not much drastic differences in gaming or graphics, you still will have the same thing. About the 8GB SSD, if you are going to install an OS in there that is better, since it will be much more faster, but really doubt that Windows 8 will fit in a 8GB SSD, since its around 10-40GB depending on Installation, Edition Type and Bit type. So if there is a price gap definitely go for the 1st option.
[Off-topic] I r o n M a n:
Thank you both for your valuable advice.

Since the GPUs are quite similar, I think it comes down to the price and the SSD.

I'll do some research and if I'm able to fit windows 8 in an 8 GB SSD I'll buy the second variant and if not, I'll buy the first variant.

Thanks again. :)

I myself don't worry much about boot times. I have 500 HDD,5400 RPM Seagate Momentus HDD and I can boot Windows from BIOS in 4.3 Secs, and then 3 extra seconds to get into the OS, which comes around 7 Seconds, but really it's much about Loading Times of programs and read/write times, which HDD sucks at.
