For Mods: I had posted my query in the "all laptop related queries" thread. No response in the last 6 days, so creating a new thread.

Here are my details

1) What is your budget?

Rs 30000 - 40000. ( do not want to exceed)


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
14", weight around 2Kg,

3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: dell, lenovo, sony,
b. Dislike: Hcl, HP


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

Office work, internet, basic photo editing, watching movies, music ( using earphones),


5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?

resolution: not much option in my budget , i guess. Type: non reflective

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)

need: Good ASS, battery life: at least 3 hours, preferably much more. usb 3 is desirable, but not mandatory. looks are not important. above all: good construction,and trouble free ownership for 3 -4 years.
I am ok with online purchase ( Flipkart)

7) Shortlisted: Dell Inspiron14 ( pro: decent specs, with OS, thin, lighter. Cons: feels plasticky, reflective screen, battery life)
Dell Vostro 2420 ( pro: good specs, matte screen. Cons: thicker, battery life, no usb 3)
Thinkpad E430 ( not seen. Pro: good battery life, faster HDD. Cons: lack of indicator LEDs, without OS

For those who have the experience of using both e430 and vostro, which one would you choose any why.

Thanks for reading
