Laptop for basic tasks @ 38-45k

tejas.bedi1

Right off the assembly line
Hey readers, I require a laptop for my DAD with the following features. Any advice ?

1) What is your budget?(INR)
38,000 although can be stretched to 45,000 if there's a significant upgrade.

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Mainstream or even small would do ; 12" - 13" - 14'' - 15" - 16" screen

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Editing Documents , Listening to Music , Watching Movies .
At the most , the laptop would have to handle decoding a h265 video or running an old game (although unlikely)(NFS Most Wanted 2005)

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: Any mainstream Brand
b. Dislike Apple

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eyeing for ?
Any processor from the i series (latest gen if possible)
Integrated graphics will do.
4 GB ram (min)

6) Anything else you would like to say?
Screen resolution ( 768p (HD) ) though 1080p will be sweet..
Battery back up ( preferably 5hrs or more )
Purchase place ( Online (eg - flipkart, infibeam , snapdeal , ebay ) / Local )
Windows is necessary.
A laptops which looks good and weighs less is always a plus !!

The laptop will not perform resource intensive tasks , so do you think going for a hybrid or untrabook is a good decision?
Kindly mention 3 different laptops (if you can) from the categories mainstream , hybrid and ultrabook .

Thanks for taking the time to answer !!!

Here are a few worth checking out:

Buy Dell Inspiron 3148 11.6-inch Toucscreen Laptop (Core-i3-4030U/4GB/500GB/Windows 10), Silver Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.i
 
I think a basic i5 config would be sufficient
Asus X555LA-XX522D (Notebook) (Core i5 5th Gen/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Free DOS) (90NB0653-M10110) vs HP Laptop HP 250 HP 250 G4 Notebook 250-G4 T0J15PA Core i5 5th Generation - (4 GB DDR3/1 TB HDD/Free DOS) Notebook: Compare Computers: Flipkart.co

If you want a hybrid check this:

Even though it has i3 instead of i5, it has a higher resolution screen (1080p vs 768p in others), touch screen & is light at 1.7kg. Screen size is 13.3" though. After paytm cashback, effective price will be below 40k

Thanks for the suggestion!!
Just before your post i was looking at this HP hybrid
HP Envy X360 M6 Laptop Touch Screen I5 6th GEN 1TB HDD 8GB RAM Window 10 Full HD | eBay
Seems like a sibling of the 13" hybrid you suggested !!

I think any one of the HP x360 models will work perfectly. There looks are good , the processing power is ample for my use. They are light and have beautiful displays . Perfect for my cause .
I'll choose one particular model based on real-time analysis !!
Cheers :thumbs:

That model has seller warranty not manufacturer one, so beware
Also I don't think that same model is officially available in India, so better avoid it

For your requirements even 6th gen i3 should suffice, so you can buy the model I posted
