I was very confused about laptops, since it is my first time.
I shortlisted this
It shows 1.5ghz
Lenovo G510 59-382843 (4rd Gen Core I5-4200M /4GB/500G/Dos/ATI SUN PRO8570 2GB) - Buy Online @ Best Price | Snapdeal.com

But here the same model shows 2.5ghz

Lenovo G510 59-382843 (4rd Gen Core I5-4200M /4GB/500G/Dos/ATI SUN PRO8570 2GB) Price: Buy Lenovo G510 59-382843 (4rd Gen Core I5-4200M /4GB/500G/Dos/ATI SUN PRO8570 2GB) Online in India - Infibeam.com

Also, my friend purchased this one and is quite happy
Lenovo Essential G510 (59-398452) Laptop (4th Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Rs.44970 Price in India - Buy Lenovo Essential G510 (59-398452) Laptop (4th Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Black Online - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

So, can somebody please tell the difference between this one and the one I shortlisted.

Also, I came across this one
HP Pavilion 15-e026AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) Rs.38990 Price in India - Buy HP Pavilion 15-e026AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) Imprint Mineral Black Vertical Brush Pattern Online - HP: Flipkart
And I really liked the extra RAM and storage.
Is this any good vs the above one?

Sorry, for too many questions

Yes I am also thinking for
HP Pavilion 15-e026AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) Rs.38990 Price in India - Buy HP Pavilion 15-e026AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) Imprint Mineral Black Vertical Brush Pattern Online - HP: Flipkart

It has a very good configuration. Any idea how to install Ubuntu OS on it? And what about hardware support? Will stand alone Ubuntu system enough to detect all hardware?

Thanks.

HP Pavilion 15-e026AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 8GB/ 1 TB/1.5 GB Graph ) is the beast at this price.Look at its specifications.It beats all the laptops you listed in opening post and also in your budget. Also you get the following bundle worth Rs.2999 for Rs.999:
a. Additional 1 year Internet Security
b. HP Wireless mouse
c. HP Headset
When I bought HP G6 2005 AX,I got camera Nikon S3200 worth Rs 7999 for Rs 2499 due to Diwali offer.

Me too thinking to buy this laptop..
i have read alotttttt of users reviews about this lappy...
This laptop had issues with brightness key and performance issues while charging..
this issues has been solved by the lenovo support with a new BIOS release(2.05) version.

i think we might have heating issues with this laptop...
Using a good cooling pad can solve this issue..

one more suggestion is dont go for HP...this is my personal experience with HP..
lenovo is far better than HP now in Laptops.

Dedicated graphics in HP is better.The Radeon HD 8670M and the Radeon HD 8570M have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
