Core i7 gives the highest performance. But a drawback is that it requires more power. That means shorter period to work with batteries.

However, many high performance laptops available in Sri Lanka are HP.
DV6-2190 (i7), DV6-2510, DV62130, DV6-1316 are available at Technocity(laptop.lk) under Rs. 200k
While surfing the net, I found this cool laptop
Asus G51JX with i7 processor, GF360MGTS, and blueray drive. The price is around $1400 in many online shops . Unfortunately these models aren't here. Even if they were, it'll cost much.
in G51 series, there's a G51JX-3D laptop with 3d glasses from nvidia. for 3d experience( like in avatar game)!
Enough about Asus.
I'm still looking for an affordable laptop with good specifications...
