Hi,
I am considering purchase of laptop with following requirements - Core i5 4th gen, 4GB ram, Windows OS loaded, somewhat lightweight, with budget of 40-45k max... Usage is mainly browsing and general office software.
I have shortlisted HP Pavilion 14-n009TU as it is 2kg and fits my needs. But it is not available at the local stores.
One of the vendor is suggesting Lenovo Ideapad S510p (59-411351) as alternative. Other than increase in weight, it is Core i3 4th gen... But on the up side, it has 8 GB ram and 2 GB gfx card and 1TB HDD instead of 500 GB...
He says that the higher ram and the gfx card will compensate somewhat for the i3 instead of i5 present.
On *cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4200U-vs-Intel-Core-i3-4010U it is noted that other than single core performance, the i3 processor is almost close to the i5.
Please inform if it is okay to go for the Lenovo laptop...
EDIT: Also, any comments on how much better is the 2 GB NVIDIA N15V-GM gfx compared to the inbuilt Intel HD Graphics 4400 of the hp laptop would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance
Arun

100+views, but no reply, so I thought I would fill up the standard questionnnaire and add that data here...
1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
40-45k max (no stretching)
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
14" preferred, 15.6" may be accepted if it is not too heavy (say under 2.5 kg)
3) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
Browsing, MS Office and other basic office requirements
5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
Prefer 4th Gen i5. 4 GB RAM required. Graphics card not required. Windows OS is must (otherwise, if it comes with DOS/Linux, cost must be under 35-39k so that I can buy legal OEM license of Windows 8.
4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Sony, Dell
b. Dislike: Asus, Acer, etc
6) Anything else you would like to say?
Purchase place - Local
Thanks in advance
