This has to be the Hummer among Indian laptops. There aren’t many others of this size in the market, and that could be why the Intex G17Y-F2210 Gaming Book stands out from the rest.
But first things first: If you want a laptop to carry along on your assignments, read no further. This isn’t what you are looking for.

But if you are looking for a machine that will put you bang in the middle of Quake 4 action or behind the steering of a Porsche on the Need for Speed circuit then this is your dope. Here is a laptop that can slowly edge out the other entertainment gadgets in your house before they realise what is happening. For, this 17” giant comes with a hybrid TV tuner with remote, DVI port, 7-in-1 card reader and SRS WOW speakers.

Ironically, this is not its selling point. That distinction goes to its superb gaming abilities — among them, an Intel Core 2 Duo T7100, 2GB RAM and NVidia GeForce Go 8700 graphic card. What all this means is games seem more real than they have ever been. I am not much of a gamer, but this was the first time that I realised most games have 3D images. No overlapping graphics or dragging images here. And for once the laptop speakers are enough to hear the enemy creep up behind you — if you are buying a laptop, you can always spend more for a couple of good speakers.
