Yeah. Almost all the threads have same requirement. This is the reason, I didn't create a new thread.

Anyway, I selected this one Error 500 Server Error

You can suggest any other model too. I don't mind going for 1 one with Graphics Card and Win 8.1. But just selecting DOS model, as price is lower and Graphics Card won't be needed for programming.

in that case, B590 would be better for you as it has i5 3230M compared to i5 4210U in recent laptops and well within your budget
Lenovo B590/59-409293 Notebook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Free DOS/ 1GB Graph) (59-409293)

Has full keyboard with numpad, don't go by failkart's images

It's hard to choose a laptop nowadays. So many models. Few things makes me confused more, like a exact same configuration of Dell Vostro and Dell Inspiron have different price. So what's the difference?

Build quality and looks. The names are easier to remember for lenovo laptops, while hp, dell, acer and asus have long and confusing names (low and mid range laptops). Lenovo has different configs for same laptop, while dell has same configs for different laptops as you said.

Yeah, that's where I got confused first. Which one to buy Vostro or Inspiron then I noticed both of them have i3 and i5 version, Ubuntu and Windows version, Graphics Card and No Graphics Card version all with same model name. That's ok. But how would one figure out whether to take Vostro or Inspiron. Just by looks I guess, as you said.

Always go by specs...,not by looks.
