Thanks. I had doubt too. But honestly buying a laptop is really a hassle in India. Not too many good choices.

Finally I bought AU-116TX. I bought it for 55440 (1000 cashback from HP & 2500 Cashback from HDFC CC). Thanks for all your help.I have not fully started using the lap yet.But one thing i felt is that i need to add more RAM as it was feeling a bit slow. Could some one suggest a good 4 or 8 GB RAM?

Check on HP site for your model which software setups are available.If all of them are available on HP site then you can read in their description to see if they are useful or not.If you uninstall something & then feel the need to get it again then you can always reinstall from HP site.My first suggestion would be to uninstall macafee(if present) as many laptop makers give their trial version pre-installed.

I will check out the HP site. I do have Mcafee installed along with something called bytefence anti malware. Are these required? If i uninstall these i would still require some antivirus suite.Can you suggest some good suite? I heard kaspersky is really good.

Is this what you are looking for?
It's out of stock here I'll look around more?
Should it be 3200mhz or 2400?

My lap already has 4 gb and will support a maximum of 16 gb only. Also this one is way expensive.

Install avira free,that is good enough & better than mcafee any day.

DDR4 SDRAM - Wikipedi
DDR4 memory is supplied in 288-pin dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), similar in size to 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs....DDR4 SO-DIMMs have 260 pins instead of the 204 pins of DDR3 SO-DIMMs

SO-DIMM is smaller size ram that is used in laptops.So 288pin DDR4 ram is regular size one used in desktop & 260pin DDR4 ram is smaller size one used in laptops.

Install only MS Essentials which is light on resources if you have Win7.

From Win8 onwards it comes default in the OS which is called as Defender.

All other AVs eat so much RAM or resource hoggers and some even does not let the user to uninstall it.
