See these two laptops:

1. Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Dell: Flipkart.com

2. Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Dell: Flipkart.com

The first one contains core i3 and 500GB HDD whereas second one is core i5 with 1 TB HDD and everything else is same still second one is 2k cheaper than first one? Why is so? Have fk quoted wrong price/specs ?

i3 version is 44702/-
i5 version for 46090/-

So it is all fine IMO..
BTW both are overpriced.. You can get better for lesser cost

no restrictions. However i was using Lenovo T420 and liked Lenovo

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?

programmin, little gaming (medium graphics. I burnt my prev laptop's graphics chip so no more gaming on laptop), reading, browse, movie.

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
I prefer a i5 processor.look does matter. will be better if it is portable since i travel. optical drive not a must. Drivers should be available for Ubuntu.

I am not sure if that's the only way but it's highly advisable to make DVDs backup.
Windows License/Key is usually located at the bottom of laptop in form of stickers.

1.nah you may want to use a pen drive / usb device but I suggest DVD's..

2.If you are on win7(which obviously is not the case here I guess..) then you will have a key printed below. But on win8 lappies don't have a printed key (here you are screwed)..

3.Once backed up it's safe.. (How dunno..)

Just note down the key printed at the bottom of the lappy of you have windows 7. And then you can delete the partition. In future install win 7 using the same key. Note that you have to install the correct version. If the original key was of win 7 home basic then it will be valid on only win 7 home basic dvd.
If you have win 8 then simply delete the recovery partition. You don't need to note down any key. After any future installation of win 8 from any media , once you connect to internet, it automatically detects if the the lappy originally came with win 8.

Note that the only disadvantage you'll be in is that you have to manually install the drivers. While in the case of recovery from factory installed recovery partition, it automatically installs the drivers.

^thanks chaithanya ,harsh and rishi for your replies. My lappy came with windows 8 , that means I can safely delete recovery then install win 8 from some other source and validate it online right without any key?
