Screen Specifics
11) What screen resolution(s) would you prefer?
Dunno, 1366 by 768 should be enough.
NOTE: I'm willing to be flexible in my preferences, i.e. if someone suggests a laptop with very good specs within my budget but a battery life of only 2 hours, I'm take that laptop.
Also, I'm in Kolkata, so I know HP and Dell have service centres here, but not too sure about Acer/Asus/Lenovo/Toshiba.
