Allllright !
[I am buying the laptop tomorrow, so its kinda urgent]
Filled Questionnaire:


1) What is your budget?

40 - 44k
(cant extend more that except for extended warranty)


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

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen


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

Programming and Image Processing. No Gaming


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

Processor : Core i5 4th Gen
Graphics : Decent, above average one

I am considering: Lenovo G510 (Core i5 4200M, 4 GB, 500 GB, 1366 x 768, ATI Sunpro 8570 2GB, 6 cell)


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

-None-


6) Anything else you would like to say?

* I will be purchasing locally by tomorrow.
The offer I have locally at Reliance Digital:
44k for laptop+Win8 or 46k for laptop+Win8 +2 year extended warranty.
How is the offer?

* Is this laptop HP 15-d103tx better that G510 hardware wise?
Processor is the same but Notebookcheck says HP is marginally better that Lenovo.


Please advice. Thank you.

Buddy I was planning t buy a laptop in the 42-45k range.

I have two options : Lenovo G510 + 2yr extended warranty at 46k

or

Lenovo Z510 from Snapdeal + discount at 46k?



So my question :

1. Which one do you recommend?

2. Is Snapdeal reliable for laptop purchases? Any specific seller you recommend?

G510 is enough for your purposes. Recently purchased a few items from SD and they all came good though I won't vouch for SD on laptop deals. As for seller always choose the one with highest rating / ranking.

Update:

I have ordered Lenovo Z510 (59-405848) with 1GB Graphics at 45.2k from Snapdeal (last 2 pieces were left when I bought)
Snapped the 1.4k off running right now.. :wink:
From the seller C2C (seller rating 4.5)


Contrary to what I had said earlier, I managed to add 1k and decided to forgo the extended warranty, mainly 'coz:

* Lenovo G510 stocks were unavailable locally and the seller said it won't be restocked 'coz its an old model.

* Enquired many friends with same laptop and they said they had no issues until now.

* Effective price at Snapdeal was 45k. It was hard to let go a 1080p screen and GT740M :-D
Eventually had to let go the 2yr extended warranty. I hope I dont have to repent this.



Thanks a lot everyone.

It seems that this model Z510 (59-405848) does not have FHD Screen as shown in below link. In fact none of indian versions seem to have FHD display. Also 2 reviewers, 1 each on snapdeal and FK have commented that its HD and not FHD as specified in description.

US versions have FHD screen though.
