Guys I can't tell u people that how much i confused these days for buying a laptop .
Budget : 40k
Purpose : General computing with good battery backup + 0 heat coz it will be used on bed/lap. and Games like Mafia II, Manhunt 2, crysis, GTA IV like games @medium settings.
1. I decided Lenovo Z580 with 3rd gen i3+dgpu but "Synaptics touchpad" (which don't have physical left right mouse buttons) don't let me buy this one. Some people says its good to use but other criticizing it.
2. I confused between AMD A8 or Intel i3 3rd Gen.

Wait, my laptop has a 7670m graphics card. Will that be able to run GTA V ?

Keyboard and mouse
Microsoft Desktop 2000 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Microsoft: Flipkart.com
or
Logitech MK240 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Logitech: Flipkart.com
Controller
Microsoft Wired Controller - Microsoft: Flipkart.com
might be available for less. I really wont recommend any other controller. This is by far the best.
Has GTA V been released? Nothing can be said till its out. But I think it will run

Yeah. The power sockets used in USA are quite different than India. You will gave to buy a travel adapter too. Modem etc should work fine.
here are a few which I found on Flipkart that is in your budget
HP Pavilion G6-2236TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com
and *www.flipkart.com/samsung-np550p5c-...FM4X&ref=dbbfe36d-8800-4849-8c95-c23ee35921be
Although the Samsung one costs a little more, I'd say it will be worth the money as the 650m gaming performance is superior to the HD7670m gaming performance.

HP Pavilion G6-2312AX Laptop
(APU Quad Core A10/ 4GB/ 1TB/
Win8/ 2.5GB Graph) It's selling at Flipkart at Rs 39,984. Although I'm sure the 2GB graphics is an overkill. The CPU wouldn't be using more than 1GB

you got it right there. 2GB is overkill for HD7670M. Instead had HP used 512MB GDDR5 memory, one will get lot better result at a slightly reduced price.

I have to buy a laptop in a week or so.
1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
-> 40-50k (1-2k more if it makes a considerable difference)
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
-> Screen size - 14 inch - 15.6 inch
Weight - Around 2.5 kg or less
3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
-> Like: HP, Samsung, Lenovo
-> Dislike: Acer, Dell, Toshiba
4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
--> Consider these tasks in minds. This list is prioritized from up to down.
# Programming (Also artificial simulations and computational programming which are CPU intensive)
# Reading
# Graphics processing & editing
# Occasional gaming (games like Bioshock Infinite and Skyrim at medium level or less)
5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
-> Resolution - I prefer 1366 x 768 or more. Not less than this.
Type - Preferably matte display because I'm into reading.
6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
-> # Battery life is an important factor for me. 4+ hours at normal usage is what I'm looking for.
# I might use Ubuntu as my primary OS, or dual boot with Windows for gaming. (I've heard that there are UEFI boot issues with Linux distros in newer laptops)
# Important - At least 1 USB 3 port
# HDD Capacity - 500 GB or more. (I don't know much about the difference in speed with an SSD, but if there's any good laptop with it according to my set parameters, then please list write it down.)
# An Internal Optical Disk drive isn't in my priority list.
# If you don't find any perfect match, tell me the next contender.

Have a look at these
Samsung NP530U4C-S01IN Laptop - Samsung: Flipkart.com
or
Samsung NP350V5C-S07IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1 TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Samsung: Flipkart.com
the second one has a little less powerfull processor with same graphi. Would save you quite a lot of money. Else both laptops are more or less same.

An i5+7670m or a10+dualgfx will be good for gaming( moderate to heavy) ??

Help me guys

******************
For pure gaming A10+7670M , O/W i5 is the way to go. However , if I were you , I would check out the frame rates and benchmark results for the games I am gonna play before buying a laptop. This is because not all games take advantage of the CrossFire. Whereas some do heavily.

Wrong listed. NVIDIA just launched it a day back forget having it in a laptop
Nvidia announces new 700M-series notebook GPUs

730M is a relabelled 6-series GPU. so possible that it can have 730M.
