Dude....u can have a look at the dell's 1720 or the HP's dv97xxtx series notebook for 17 inch segment...

not sure if these will fit ur budget specs since HP one comes with 2 gig ram nd 250 gig hdd....
but i guess u can customize dell one....
Price range starts from 55K upwards...

if u can cut down the screen to 15.4 .... u can get the similar config for 45-50k..

wat would be ur primary usage in the notebook ??...
give us some more info so that we can sugest u better...

Now thats better,,
2GB and c2d is a must as you said, for casual gaming onboard is ok, but better to buy nvidia8500GS 256MB with it and 8600gt 256ddr3 may not make that up in your budget.

check out the asus gaming laptop rates, if those prices are also down, then asus is a good to buy, buy i think it will be in 50k range.

in 40k .. you can get Dell 1525, or a toshiba m200

UPDATE:

INFACT BUY 1420 ..

Gr8 addons would be a finger print reader and a card reader and inbuild bluetooth or webcam. But the above 4 are not necessary. Pls suggest me a good LAP.

@coolendra u r lucky as recently most probably just few days after u orddered ur lappy . dell india has increased prices on both xps 1330 and 1530 although the default config has been upgraded. it is very clear to see that overall the price they have increaded mostly due to the popularity that they have received on these xps models.

even some upgrades like 9 cell battery which was around 2000 back then has gone up to 8000 now.
