The laptop I mentioned above seems better in price and specs than Asus.

Hey any sub 15k lappy or the new tablet from micromax will do the job

 

[dashing.sujay]

Tablet is not for MS-office works, rest fine.

 

[Sankalp Tripathi]

[thetechfreak]

@Sankalp GT 540m is a lot better than the 6470. Obviously it is better suited for Modern Warfare 3 too

 

[Sankalp Tripathi]

If you are OK with only one USB port, then you can get it. You can can use a HUB for connecting mouse & pendrive.
The performance- AMD Radeon HD 7670M - Notebookcheck.net Tech
and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

The HD 7670 us better.

 

[dashing.sujay]

TTF- G6-2008tx has also got 2 usb 3.0 port.
HP Pavilion g6-2008tx Notebook PC (B0P27PA) specifications - HP Products for Home and Home Office products

And your list needs full review. Some models need to be removed/added. Do a thorough search.

Thanks a lot for this. Seems flipkart had listed it wrong. Post updated.


@Sankalp You can safely get this. 2 USB 3.0 and 1 normal USB 2 will be enough for most

 

[dashing.sujay]

One personal suggestion TTF, never trust flipkart for configs, they suck big time. I can show you hundred flaws in their listing.

Not to mention, their user reviews/comments are most biased in India, more than CNET.

 

[dashing.sujay]

TTF, I reminded you to add the missing models. Anyways-
* add this Asus N55SL @ 70k,

* Inspiron 15 comes with 525M GPU mostly, very rare models come with HD3000, so change that.

* How can you leave thinkpad models?

* Also replace old Asus models now being discontinued and eventually replaced by newer Kepler GPUs.

* No ultrabooks?

 

[thetechfreak]

ok dashing.sujay, actually my broadband is down posting from phone. Its a bit hard to do things from here.
1. Will be adding a high budget soon and also ultrabooks. Will probably list prices and specs from digit magazine itself for Ultrabooks.
2.

Inspiron 15 comes with 525M GPU
mostly, very rare models come with
HD3000, so change that.

will be doing it soon.
3. Thinkpads? Ok. Surely will start adding them when I am done with the above points.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Ok take your time.

 

[thetechfreak]

Updated- Ultrabooks added!


Ultrabooks have been added. Although the no. of models is a bit less. Posted all prices and specs from Digit magazine itself any suggestions for adding models, etc are welcome
The 60k budget will need some time though. Many models to take into consideration and also few gaming laptops.

 

[dashing.sujay]

6) All the Ultrabooks have A Solid State Drive(SSD)

Not true always. Remove that.

And check the ultrabooks section, I have done some editing & addition along with the hyperlinks. Tell me if you're fine with it.
