Hey fellas, I finally cut-short my list to these 3 gaming laptops. So, I just want you to rate these 3 laptops on the aspect of their performance (playing games fluently). I’ll be thankful if you can rate these 3 laptops by giving them marks out of 10(again just consider the gaming performance aspect). Additionally, please also tell me what the difference between switchable graphics is. Are switchable graphics are known as crossfire/SLI.
Here are the 3 laptops with their specifications. 1) LENOVO Y560, PROCESSOR: core i7-740QM, RAM: 4GB DDR3, HARD DISK:500GB @5400rpm, GRAPHICS CARD: dedicated 1GB DDR3 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730, SCREEN AND RESOLUTION: 15.6 HD LED Glare 1366*768. 2) DELL XPS 15, PROCESSOR: core i7-740QM, RAM: 4GB DDR3, HARD DISK: 500GB @7200rpm, GRAPHICS CARD: dedicated 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M, SCREEN & RESOLUTION: 15.6 FHD(1920*1080) B+RGLED display with TrueLife. 3) MSI GX660, PROCESSOR: core i5-460M, RAM: 4GB DDR3, HARD DISK: 500GB SATA @5400 rpm, GRAPHICS CARD: dedicated 1GB DDR5 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870, SCREEN & RESOLUTION: 15.6 HD,Glare(1366*768) LED.

Can't beat the Dell XPS 15 specs here The RGB Led screen alone would tip the scale.

Switchable graphic usually means that the comp would use the integrated graphic part when not under stress to save battery life.

As far as playing games fluidly, the metioned 3 above will do fine (or not) - it depends on the games and patches and software environment as well.

cheers ...

rate the 3 laptops..

well i get your point but still i mean , say if we use the same games with same resolutions and then compare the performance, which one do you think holds the edge here.

One on one, yes, according to many reviews. You are making up for better screen, more video memory, better CPU (under certain applications)

Down to pricing - how much is the difference between the Dell and the MSI?

well, MSI GX60 will cost me $1494 USD & DELL XPX 15 will cost $1394 USD. there is a diff of 100 USD though but the thing is that i want to have a better gaming machine thats why i'm a bit more partial towards MSI ,even though its costing me 100 USD more.and ya , MSI is offering ddr5 graphics memeory whereas DELL is offering ddr3 graphic memeory,so keep that in mind too. i guess ddr5 works better with this graphic card . isnt it?. but , i want to know whats your view then as now you know the price . which one should i go for?

Just a heads up I have kinda been looking at laptops and I keep coming back to the Lenovo Y560. The i7 model with 8gb of ram can be had for $899 with a coupon code which is pretty darn good deal from what I have been looking at. I'm not sure if it is ok to post the code or sites providing the code but you can find it easily if you google search it. I don't do much gaming anymore but do meet up with friends a couple times per year for LAN parties, the graphics on the Y560 should be pretty decent.

well thnks a lot for your advice but the problem is that i had to buy this laptop here in india and the one you are saying that costs $899 there ,the same model costs $1320 here in india and that too with just 4gb of RAM. so, dude, GAMING IN THIS COUNTRY IS COSTLY.lol

I still recommend the Dell in this case. Sure DDR5 is better for graphic card, but what good does it do if it cannot always take full advantage out of it?

The ATI 5870 is definitely way better than the 435m. It all depends on what you want to play and how long you want your whole laptop to last you. The 5870 is about the same performance as the NVIDIA 460m. GDDR5 is better. They are the two most powerful affordable GPUs right now. The Dell XPS 15 is definitely a good option because of build quality, support, an amazing 1080p screen and speaker system.
