if you are buying from pune, then better check tilak road, Swargate and try to bargain, that place has so many laptop showrooms and provide very competitive priced laptops.

and go for I5 3rd gen with minimum AMD 7670M graphic card in Nvidia look for GT 630 or GT 740M.

It's good if you're really inclined to Hp. But the graphic card is no better than 7670hd

I suggested him Dell because he doesn't want Lenovo, Dell 14R turbo or Dell 14R SE is only option left for you.

Hi guys got the HP laptop. Thanks for your suggestions. I have two questions
1. It has one single partition of 906gb and one small recovery partition. Do i need to partition the C drive for my media files if yes how to do it? Or should i leave it that way only.
2. The graphics is showing only the intel graphics how to switch to amd graphics.
Thanks

Congrats! How much did it cost you?
1. you can use disk management to create partitions. press the windows key+w together and type "hard disk" you'll find create and manage hard disk partitions. Alternatively, use MiniTool partition wizard Home for creating partitions
2. If you've installed all the drivers correctly, right click on desktop and you'll see configure AMD switchable graphics (I'm guessing). Does the 8670M show up in display adapters in device manager?
