Thank you, I tried searching for same product in official site, closest match I could find is

Lenovo G50 Laptop | Entry-Level Laptop with DVD Drive | Lenovo (IN)

But it's not exact

2)Does this apu have 4 core cpu +graphics core?
3) can this cpu and gpu compete with core i3 40xx cpu and Intel hd4xxx /nvdia entry level gpu found in 28-32k price tag

you won't find any dGPU with i3 40xx in that budget.

All you can get is a apu based system for a better performance since you will also be going VM. And finding a i3 based with a d.gpu not gonna happen. And saiyan has already provided you fk link why are you searching for it somewhere else?

I have used this laptop - Dell Vostro 14 V3446 Notebook (4th Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Ubuntu/ 2 GB Graph) Rs.31740 Price in India - Buy Dell Vostro 14 V3446 Notebook (4th Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Ubuntu/ 2 GB Graph) Grey Online - Dell : Flipkart.com

i don't know about its multi threaded performance. 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i3-4005U processor (3M Cache, 1.7GHz).

^ Compared to G50-45 , it has half the ram, half the HDD space, a lower powered CPU and around 5k higher price. Why should OP even consider it?

@OP you can consider Toshiba Satellite L50D-B 83110 Notebook if you havn't bought till now.

Thank you for suggession , but
High Price
No Ram Upgradability ( it uses 4GB x2 ) even though it support 16GB ,

I think it comes with WIn 8.1 S.L , many of the features i looking doesnt support SL , GP/BL ,rdp etc, so will use orginal pro version (its cheap for students through a offer ) later ,

Not received yet , it will be receiving at my friends Banglore address . need to collect from there

Also just to inform others 3 Years warrenty extension offer for 1.9 k ends this month according to lenovo website

1.9k for 3 years is a lot. I got that for free.
