Thanks for the responses!

Acer Aspire S3 and Samsung NP530U4B-S02IN look good. In your opinion, which provides better after-sales service:Acer or Samsung?

You can have a look at Sony CB45, it has got a Full HD display and a backlit keyboard which no other laptop has got in that price bracket, and it costs around 51k.But it is a 15.6" laptop.
If you want to get something small and sleek,then you can have a look at these:
13"
Samsung NP530U3B-A02IN
Acer Aspire S3 Aspire S
Sony VAIO S Series VPCSB36FN
14"
Or these Asus U series laptops
And Samsung NP530U4B-S02IN

It comes with a 13.3" screen :|

Vaio VPCSB36FN

I really want the Sleekbooks to be in launched in India ASAP. Let's hope that they come out by the 10th of June. :evil:

They will launch in around in one month. Wait is worthy for sleekbooks. Otherwise Samsung 5 series is good. You can also have a look at Vaio S series.

If you only want to buy hp sleekbook model, so why you are asking with us in the forum? :mrgreen:
Keep in mind you would not get performance like sony vaio VPCSB36FN laptop.
Sleekbook is just a poor men's ultrabook powered with AMD processors.:duh2:

No, that came out wrong. The main reasons that propels me (slightly, if I may add) towards the sleekbooks are the 7-9hr battery life and the back-lit keyboard.But Guru, what does this novice know?!! :p

Yeah, i read it has big battery life.. let see how much battery comes out from sleekbooks in real world.
As u mentioned that u needs at least 5 hours battery, it can be easily get in some thinkpad or that sony vaio model. I think u should wait for some public response about sleekbook before buying.

A Core i3
4GB DDR3
1 GB ATI 7670m

Can beat both the builds above in gaming. Gaming is essentially GPU bound.

I know that.

But I asked between these two only.

And I run Photoshop, Video editing, Vmware etc too.. so also consider the Overall..

GT 520MX is almost as performer as ivy bridge's HD Graphics 4000, it doesn't affect you if you are not in much gaming?
High memory (8GB) and powerful processor like core-i7 is must for good performance in editing and virtualization.

I want to buy a laptop for less than 45 K for moderate gaming .. i have zeroed in on Lenovo Z 570 315960.. it is available in flipkart for 42 K(with 1 yr warranty). I checked it with a re seller here in bangalore and got to know that the same is available with him for 42k and the 3yr warranty one comes for 43 K..
i dont mind the non availability of OS..

Is this a good option..does this model have any problems of sorts??

GT540 = GT630. so both are same in graphics performance.

Asus aftersale service is descent. they have setup service center in pretty much all cities (different from motherboard, graphics card service center AFAIK).

Asus one is better than Lenovo.
Lenovo service as well their build quality is pathetic. I suggest everyone to stay away from it, the only good thing from Lenovo is their thinkpads.
Asus is giving onsite warranty and as told by SAM its pretty decent.

GT 630M is little bit better in fps.

Do you do gaming? If yes how much?
Do you want a laptop with a good performance or some light weight?
How much battery life you want 3-4 hours or some more?
