Your suggestions on the best laptop to put the money on..

1) What is your budget?

Anything less than 60,000 rs

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

I would love it if it's super-slim and super-light-weight, but wouldn't base the purchase on that.

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

browsing, programming, watching a LOTT of movies [ Full HD screen's a must ]

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?

open

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?

I want at-least a 4th gen i5!
Full HD screen's a must!!
A backlit keyboard would be very sweet.
Touchscreen will also be very highly appreciated.

6) Anything else you would like to say?

I've narrowed things down to these 3..

Lenovo Flex 2 14 59-420166 [ love touch, hate low-res screen ]
Lenovo Ideapad Z510 59-405838 [ impressive package, but "looks" vintage ]
Lenovo Ideapad Y510P 59-389389687 [ love everything except the bulk ]

Is Lenovo the only brand with any value-for-money.. would love to see some alternatives [ that do satisfy me]..

Y510p easy.
BTW Indian Z510 models don't have FHD screens irrespective of what they advertise.

Good.. but 2 models of the Z510 available do seem to have FHD screens, at-least that's what their spec sheets say.

and I was indeed considering the i5 version only.. but are there no other laptops this good in this price range..

Same here. I'm going for the i7 version though. (benchmarks show a high level of advantage with i7 over this particular i5. check cpuboss / cpubenchmark.net)

I did see those, but the price is just above my budget :))
