My elder brother is going to buy a new laptop..
How is the G510 Lenovo Essential G510 (59-398452) Laptop (4th Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Rs. 45490.0 Price in India - Buy Lenovo Essential G510 (59-398452) Laptop (4th Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Black Online - Lenovo: Flipkart.com
He is a software developer and would be running intensive programs (database, servers etc etc) and not much of gaming (Angry Birds, Fifa at most :D ). Screen should be 15.6" and max budget 48k. Nvidia GPUs preferred.

Any other suggestions?
He will be buying within 2days max.

Thanks for the option but that's only 14" and also I couldn't find it on any online seller.

yup tried and tested but I think when 4th Gen is selling cheap why go for 3rd. Also AMD 8570 is almost identical to 740M. Correct me if I am wrong.

One more query how 4cell in Z500 gives 5.5hrs backup on 3rd Gen and 6cell in G510 gives 3 hrs on 4th gen ? ??? (Source: Flipkart)

ATI Sunpro 8570 is comparable to GT 720M. GT 740M will brutally outperform 8570, getting slightly better processor won't help you much in gaming.

That's strange; maybe because of cheap quality which offers higher internal resistance to the current flow producing more heat.
