Thanks man.
But my budget is 40K only.
Any other?

 

[aroraanant]

^^^^
+1 on that.
Even I suggest the same.
Or can wait and let the other brands come up with IVB processor laptops

Dell laptops are the best for use, with good configurations and features in it and less in weight great to use it.

 

[cybersa]

What you think about Lenovo?

One word- CRAP.

What you think about Lenovo?

no its ur budget 40k. the price is included with dell damage protection for a year thats why 42.5k, with that you laptop will get insured with any kinda damage.

Brands like acer, lenovo, hcl, wipro will make you cry in performance and after sales, it better to add 2.5k bucks more and get laptop of good brand.
If you want to avoid VAT tax in dell, buy it on the name of central govt employee.

They are not always the best, it depends upon the configuration.
The 15" model is of 2.8kg so not less in weight.

I am also going to buy laptop for around 40k. I have question. I am going to take admission in a college where students must have laptops in class rooms,so i will be using my laptop for almost 16hrs(may be more) everyday,i will play games like fifa street 4 and nfs mw reboot too(almost everyday). So,the question is,will battery give decent backups for atleast 3yrs? If not then i will buy a netbook for 20k. Shall i create another thread for my query?

Battery backup decrease with time, specially after 2yrs there will be a massive decline in the battery backup.
BTW in which college are you taking admission

thank you for reply. So,will i be able to change battery after 2yrs? If yes then how much it will cost and will it be good? 40k is already a big amount for me,that also only for 2yrs. If buy a netbook/nettop then will i be able to change its battery after 2yrs?

BTW in which college are you taking admission

i am going in SSN college of chennai.

 

[aroraanant]

Yes you can change the battery of any laptop anytime whenever you want, a local one costs around 1.5k where as original ones costs 3-4k

better to get a Thinkpad, they have 6 hours of battery life.

 

[aroraanant]

Can't say that they will give better battery back up or not but I think it will same and the difference will be very less.
And yes prerfer thinkpads.They are very good.

 

[TheSloth]

But i thought of getting a Asus laptop. 2nd choice is Dell. Lenovo is ok but asus has better pricing.
