You won't get 'future proof' laptop <40K really. Especially gaming laptops. And future proof itself is a flawed notion.

Seems to be your best choice.

If you don't mind Asus. Processor is marginally better and GPU is equally good if not better. Although AMD in general is supposed to handle games well too. Can't go wrong either way.

I don't think that samsung laptops are that good to go for...

Plenty of Samsung owners here might disagree with you there. Do people just say things for the sake of it?

Anyhow, don't see the point of your post at all - how is that being helpful to the OP?

Let the OP only decide that whether my post is useful or not..I posted my personal view on samsung laptops as I had a bad experience with them and that can be the case with anyone here.

No, that useful part was about you saying 'go for dell or lenovo' without specifying and almost all the lappys from the link you posted are 40K+, while OP clearly said that it should be <40K.

Which model was your Samsung laptop? What issue did you face - ASS?

Before making such statements please have some basis.(samsung service is nothing to worry about although dell ASS is better) I own a samsung laptop myself and it doesn't have any problem as of now.If it is baseless prejudice please save that for yourself.(Although Dell/Lenovo were the priority , none of them offer even a comparable config in the price range)

The HP-2313AX variant (2312 AX - with same specs but 4gb ram and with WIN 8) for 39k seems to be the best choice.

Although ASUS k53 looks like a good choice, it's lack of ASS for the Marginally extra performance ( which is again questionable) doesn't seem to be good trade-off.

Thank you for for the feedback .
