@anoopjb, as per ur specifications, does a little gaming (nfs) mean nfs carbon and it's previous version or later versions?

I am asking because even if u do photoshop stuffs & linux, 45k is HUGEly overkill. I am learning Linux server (RHEL) myself and linux runs like a charm on my ancient P4 machine..

So my suggestion is if u get ur priorities checked, u can save a LOT (even 30k lappies will do for u as far as I know)

And 1 thing, plz dont go for lenovo. I have seen 4 of them melt away into oblivion in front of my naked eyes (sorry lenovo fans).

I hv rounded up a few lappies for u.

1.HP - Pavilion G4-1121TX --~41-42k
2.Acer - 5830TG --~41-42k
3.Asus - K52JR-SX197V --~45-46k
4.HP - Pavilion DV6-6044tx--~42-43k
5.Acer - aspire 7750g--~47k (but u get an i7 processor ;) )

What I suggest is, that u go to consumermate DOT com and see features for urself. then decide after consulting more sites & shops coz I am sure u have certain brands on ur mind too ;) ..

P.S.- I have bought 3 laptops from Capital Electronics 's chain and have found out that occasionally they give excellent deals..I have yet to find a major fault in their product too ;) :razz:

Start using GImP instead of photoshop. As far as linux goes, HP doesn't take to well to it.. so don't get a HP.
TRy looking at ASUS or ACER... If you plan on installing ubuntu, you could virtually pick up any laptop ... doesn't really matter even if it's old... so well think about it.. look for older models of laptops ... thinkpads run pretty smooth on ubuntu... and well you can play a bit too.. it (used to) be pretty stable.. I'm not sure about the ones Lenovo has started making.

wat tat mean dude?? im buying hp dv4 3015tx tomoro. nd vill b using ubuntu mainly.. does it sync??
People were having trouble with switchable graphics. Even when using the onboard, the dedicated used full power and so the battery life was less.

Not sure about the situation now.
