1) What is your budget? : 35000 +/- 2000


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen Preferred, provided if comes under my budget.
Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen.


3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook? : Movies, Casual Games, Internet


4) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ? : i5, Good Processor over Dedicated Graphics Card, Good Battery Life (important), avoiding AMD's APU.


5) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like? : None


6) Anything else you would like to say? : Bas, baki sab theek?

Screen resolution : 1080p (Full HD) )
Battery back up : Extended (5-7hrs) Preferred
Purchase place : Online - flipkart, Snapdeal

Looking to buy it in next 5-7 days.
500 GB Hard Disk would do, because I'll be buying portable one. Nevertheless, 1 TB wont hurt.
DOS, Linux system would be preferred if they bring the cost down.
Aesthetically, the laptop should be top notch (keyboard button size and spacing/superior trackpad/Anti Glare Screen)

Thank you in advance.

Lenovo B590/59-409293 Notebook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Free DOS/ 1GB Graph) (59-409293)

Lenovo Ideapad G50-70 (59-413698) Notebook (4th Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1/ 2GB Graph)

You won't get 1080p screen resolution in the given budget :|

Lenovo B590/59-409293 Notebook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Free DOS/ 1GB Graph) (59-409293)

This one has a small keyboard i.e no numpad

Lenovo Ideapad G50-70 (59-413698) Notebook (4th Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1/ 2GB Graph)

This one is i3.

:(

1366 x 768 res would do.

I have shortlisted a few. Let me know what you think.

Buy Dell Vostro 3546 15.6-inch Laptop with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.in

Error 500 Server Error

Buy Toshiba Satellite C50-A X0012 15.6-inch Laptop (Premium Shining Silver) with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.in (has i5 4200M cpu, but integrated gpu)

*www.flipkart.com/asus-x550ld-xx064...=b_9&ref=3ab9381e-47fb-42e3-95ea-4edd14a40374 (This one is way over budget, but it looks like the one that is worth spending extra dough on.


Basically, I've just made intel i5 as a base and picked the laptops with lowest cost. You could help by telling which one would perform and look.

Nevermind the server error. I was too sleepy to correct it. Hope it opens.

Review Lenovo B590 MBX2JGE Notebook

B590's keyboard is ok. Don't go by failkart's images. :wink:

Z50 is also good.

Ok so between

Buy Lenovo Z50-70 59420313 15.6-inch Laptop (Silver) with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.in

and

Buy Asus X550LD-XX064D 15.6-inch Laptop (Dark Grey) with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.in

The Asus one is lighter and has smaller footprint.
Let me know what you think.

Z50 is always a good choice.

Its almost twice as heavier than Asus and has an enormous footprint. The lappy is for my sister, portability and looks overshadow components. Besides, the difference in GPU is really not that much.

Any other reason one might consider to go for Z50 are most welcome here, as I'm still open to discussion between these two.

Your opinion on this one??

^ thats the same Z50 in silver colour :lol:
2.4 kg isn't much weight. anybody can carry it around easily
Asus one is 2.2 kg. the difference is 200 grams and Z50 isn't almost twice as heavier than Asus :rofl:

Are you slow or something? I know it is Z50, but different series.
The one I was speaking of was this model which supposedly weighs around 3.9 kgs. So unless the data given on amazon is fcuked up, its a big no-no. If not, then this conversation is pointless.

And it is not "just the same Z50 in silver colour". I know you are trying to help but please scroll down couple of pages, will ya?
It has 1080p on 820M (probably, man whats wrong with this websites). Also, this one shows to be 2.4 kgs.

How does it compare against Asus?
I think I'll short list these two.
Lenovo Z50-70 (59-429623) and Asus X550LD-XX064D
and go to town and personally check both of them.

^ I'm on tapatalk, can't open each and every link :|
Somewhere it states 2.4 kg and somewhere 3.9
Since I don't have a laptop showroom and weighing scale, I can't tell the actual weight. mid range laptops rarely cross 2.6 kg

Neither do I, so I'll probably have to go to store and see them for myself.
Lenovo Z50-70 (59-429623) and Asus X550LD-XX064D then.
