Right off the assembly line
Hello!

I am a student and planning on getting the Sony Vaio E14A laptop. The laptop will be for everyday use, not for hardcore gaming and stuff. Will be used basically for surfing,programming in C/C++/Java, watching movies etc, as m currently a comp sci student. Your opinion on this laptop will be grateful.

Thank you!

I'm thinking of buying this laptop: Samsung NP350V5C-S02IN Laptop

I've heard about many Samsung laptops getting bricked when one tries to install a Linux distro on it. What about the model mentioned above? Any idea, guys? I'm thinking of dual booting it: Windows 8 and Ubuntu.

And in my previous post (here), I wrote my budget as 40-50k (+1/2). There's a change in my budget now, around 40k-43k, everything else is same. Please tell me the closest match now, if it's different from the laptop I mentioned above in this reply.

Friend needs a laptop. Her primary usage is facebook, movies and songs. She started a job recently, so after two three months of frustration, she will be needing it for CV making as well. She wants intel processor and Windows 7. HP after sales service sucks (atleast it did few years back), please suggest other brands then. Please help :)

Budget is max 40k

In his budget if he gets a AMD APU based laptop it will be better. The IGP of that laptop will handle HD videos etc better
