Great if you want os.You can store a lot of data as it houses a 1TB hard drive.

Samsungs sales and service is good.
some complaints with lenevo
a lot of problem with ASUS.

Only one suggest for you from my side.
Get Asus X Series X53SC-SX223D.It comes with a 4GB RAM and you can upgrade it whenever you want.
And if you add OS + extra RAM then also it won't cost you more than 50k.This is the best for you.
Don't go for Asus K Series K53SV-SX521V because you are not into gaming and you don't need a very good graphic card.

havn't bought the ASUS yet, but I saw this lenovo Lenovo IdeaPad Z Series Z570 (59-315953) Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Lenovo Notebook at croma yesterday priced @51k.
It has some additional macro keys for changing the system settings on the go.
One feature is something like duster mode. if you click a button it will clean the dust off the processor fan etc.

But i am not sure about the quality and service of lenovo over Asus.
What do you say friends?
Which one should I go for?

Even I suggest you to pick Asus over Lenovo

One feature is something like duster mode. if you click a button it will clean the dust off the processor fan etc.

This is marketing gimmick as it is not possible to remove to dust with a click of a button.
