Found a few models, one HP G6 and other three Lenova ones on flipkart. Any time they can go out of stock or discontinued, so only i'm having a look at sony standard models.
Among all these would you know which one would run cool and have very less heat, sturdy build and user friendliness with respect to hardware and software and design?
Thank you once again for your support and patience.

Among these 3 G580 (i5 3rd gen) is one to be selected, if you're not sceptic about brands. I don't have hands on experience with lenovo's latest models, but users' feedback seems to be ok.

Just saw it in a lenovo showroom and it has two usb 3.0 ports
Lucky you Ravi, but the online pages i read said differently.
suri thanks. Your recommendation came in a tad bit late.
I made a purchase.Sujoy
Thanks you for all your help and your patience. I got the g580 lenova one. I had a hard time installing OS on this laptop. A tech. installed 32 bit, win 7 on this with the BIOS sata controller mode to compatibility mode rather than AHCI. My main concern though is about the touchpad. It's an ergonomic disaster. Touchpad design is poor, too sensitive, works like crazy and the buttons below are painfully hard to press. Not convinced if win 7 is any better than vista going by how fast the machine performs or the ivy processor is significantly better.
^Congrats . Seems like after much effort, you're not satisfied by your purchase.
. Seems like after much effort, you're not satisfied by your purchase.Thanks Sujay. About the OS and the processor were my first impression based observations. I'm sure processor will hold up when resource intense things are run.
I'm satisfied with the configuration, weight, less heat, keyboard, battery backup.
But i think the touchpad is poor. It's difficult to handle. Even before installation of O.S, it just worked crazy with installers(not that many, but just of win7-- may be win7 is a bit weak with touchpads). I have tried a lot of tweaks with ELAN mouse properties. Still it does not feel fully normal. The technician's feedback was---everything is fine, except touchpad.
1) Is it normal for a laptop's touchpad buttons to be hard when new?
2) Is it normal for a multi gesture touchpad to be super sensitive?
It just selects things randomly, opens things randomly, moves things randomly-- like stuff when the arrow is moved. It's not about sensitivity alone. I had checked with the lowest possible sensitivity. In that case it takes a lot of effort to even move the cursor but continues random operations.

Hi Dashing. Sujoy and all
I'm back with another request for laptop. My current lenovo hard drive has developed bad sector and it also runs hot and it's also a little broken and puffed up at the right corner a little above where adapter goes in. As long as it runs, i will keep it. However i'm going to buy a new one soon.
1) Budget is between 32000 and 40000 INR.
2) I'd prefer between 14.5 and 15.6 inch screen. Current laptop is lenovo g580 essentials, I want the new laptop's weight around the current one's weight or even a little less. Being not bulky than this one is important for me.
3) I have only experience with HP and DELL and Lenovo if there's something better than these three then it may be fine otherwise i have no specific attachment to a brand, quality and sturdiness matters.
4) Primary tasks: Web browsing, document work and Excel sheets, video chatting, watching photos and if possible occasional creation, watching videos, movies, HD clips and moderate gaming and programming/testing. May also use it to store documents, files, music, movies that i want to preserve and have it handy. Not hanging during multi-tasking or heavy processing is going on is important.
5) Current display is 1366 x 768 resolution. Any better resolution that's great for movie watching(good quality sound would be a addon) and that's easy on eyes is ok. I would prefer matte display and or preferably have anti glare display screen that is easy on eyes for long hours.
6) Heat must be less or negligible without adding any cooler/doc etc If Hard drive develops bad sectors, even the prior-to cool running laptops become hot, isn't there a laptop that runs cools even when HD is not in a perfect healthy state?
7) Battery should be more than or equal to 3 hours(even with resource intense work). I don't prefer OS 8 or 8.1. Either i can install 7 or will have to buy with OS 10(or atleast easily upgradeable).
8) Would a convertible tablet be fine? If then is there a good convertible in my budget?
Must be ergonomic about keyboard, trackpad(should be textured and easy on fingers) design and be easy on fingers, and finally screen must be easy on eyes. Should be durable and not create issues for replacement of battery or ac adapter or something else on the device within first 3/4 years. The laptop could be superior to the one i'm already having regarding technology, processing and other resources but certainly not inferior to the current one. Purchase is likely to be done in india. Mostly i'd be buying online. Please give best options.
Any and all recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.

Paytm is good. Many people use it because of the cashback. But to transfer the cashback to bank it must be at least 5k
Hi Anupam_pb
Thanks for your reply.
Went through that link, and there are some bad reviews on touchpad, auto-restart and also work with win 10 only and also say RAM is 4GB and body not so sturdily built. Also webcam seems to be vga one, i want a better webcam than the current lenovo(720p). It's a climb down from the earlier HP one which had 2 MP.
The pros are cool running, processor wise superior, has discrete graphics and is light weight.
If i have to buy a laptop that is going to work on win 10 only, i would better buy it pre-installed. So if a laptop is not having support for win 7, please recommend laptop with win 10 OS.
Considering these things what would you recommend?
