Thanks for your suggestions.

Currently I have hp dv6 pavilion laptop & it has heating issues.

Now I want to buy a laptop which doesn't have heating issues.

I am confused between dell, hp envy series or lenovo.

I am also confused in Windows 7 premium and windows 8 pro.

Thanks again.

Buddy, at a budget of 60K, you won't find any Laptop that comes with i7, 8 GB Ram, 1TB HDD, good Graphics card and also offers a full HD display. You can get 1366X768 resolution at that budget.
I have checked the models available at Flipkart and my choice is Samsung NP350V5C-S06IN as it offers great configuration at the least price. The Flipkart price is around 53K but 1st check local markets of yours and there is a good chance of getting it at lower price. Also it is offering HD 7670M which is better than GT 630/635M, present in most of the other Laptops at this price point.

35,000 pesos? Rubles? Rupees? Pounds? Dollars? Yen? Yuan?


GD processor?


I would think that a person would be intelligent enough that when they come on a English forum they would translate their money to US Dollars or English Pounds. I guess I'm wrong.


Otherwise we would have to be psychic mind readers to know what you mean by 35,000. Please engage brain before posting again. Thanks.

^ You're probably new here.
If not mentioned otherwise, it's always to be assumed as rupees.

Online prices for Y500 - 64k RUPEES(just so that somebody doesn't go all hyper)
I guess you can get it for about 62k after negotiating with local dealers.
