Long ago..... just google it for details. It is much more resistant to viruses than its 32 bit version.

I need a laptop for study purpose maximum budget is Rs. 30,000/- Win8 & Intel.

I need a laptop for study purpose maximum budget is Rs. 30,000/- Win8 & Intel.

Ditch the OS and get the best possible config.
Studies are anyway intended on Linux .

I'd say Lenovo B490. @ ~26k. i3 third gen/500gb hdd/2gb ram/fingerprint reader. The build quality is good.

Prefer 14" as the purpose is study and therefore will help immensely as far as portability is concerned.
