...hmm...I guess [MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION] is taking a lot of heat from us Indian(s)...
which btw is simply..healthy criticism and MSI shouldn't feel like a brick just hit them on their face
and I also hope that MSI realizes..the time to act is now and offer it's lineup asap without further delay of any* sort..MSI's a good company atleast from what I know/experienced but* to see it going down on their relaunch is sad imho

hey brother can you suggest me a good laptop within 25k
with good battery, 4 gb ram (or 2gb with upgrade option) 500 gb hdd, 14 to 17" screen with great viewing angle,
usb 3, hdmi,
for home use, music, movies, youtube, surfing and office work
looking to buy from Flipkart or any other site with good discount and offer. also must work good with Linux ubuntu and mint
I was also looking for a laptop and fixed on Dell Vostro 14 V3446 Notebook. But I'm not sure whether to choose the the one with i3 or the one with i5.
i3 one costs around 24k in Amazon and i5 one is around 35k. So a 10k difference.
My requirements are running Visual Studio and MS SQL Server. So RAM and proccy matters AFAIK. And yeah No gaming at all. I might run Photoshop sometimes, just for some light editings nothing heavy.
Budget, what should I say, as low as possible
And yeah I have some love for Dell. So if I'm not loosing much, then I'd like to stick to dell.
One last thing, if the difference between the one with Windows and DOS/Linux is not more than around 2.5k, I'd like to go with the one with Windows.

Go for Lenovo G500s.
This laptop has a very powerful processor. More RAM can be added later but processor is indispensable.
The problem with Dell laptops is that they have 'U'(eg. core i5 4200U) processors which are undervolted and weak as compared to more mainstream 'M'(eg. core i5 4200M) processors.
Thanks. Yeah read that about U and M in your first post. So can't I get a one from Dell? I have no idea about service of Lenevo.
Yeah I know, that Lenevo has been there in this market much before than that of Dell AFAIK.
But does it provides good and prompt servicing like Dell? Do I need to take it to Service Center or it provides door-to-door service like Dell within hours of lodging complaint?
And BTW, you said Lenevo G500s, but the link is of a G510. AFAIK, both are different series right?

1) Dell doesn't see M processors. Now, Dell is even going to put a core i7 4500U processor in its new 13" Alienware.
2)Lenovo's service is quite good. I haven't had any problems with Lenovo After Sales Service till now.
3)No door to door service I am afraid.
4)Just naming conventions, just make sure that your laptop has core i5 4200M and you're good to go.
One more thing, Lenovo laptops usually have better build quality over Dell ones in the same category.

I plan to revise the guide, just can't find the time right now. I'll do it soon.
Also, Flipkart servers have gone haywire to revise the guide.

Lenovo provides onsite warranty for a year (I got it for 2 years)
They respond to your complaint within hours after lodging the complaint but a service guy will come to your address within 2 business days. Also i think onsite warranty is available in just the big cities
