1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
40-45k max.

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
15.6 inch screensize.

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Gaming(like Fifa 15, Battlefield 4 and surely some to-be-released ones)and other basic tasks like coding,net surfing etc.

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
Core i5 4th gen,4 gb Ram,2 gb Gpu like nvidia 740m or maybe 820m,atleast 500 gb of Hdd and other basic configs.
I am willing to buy laptops with dos,Ubuntu or linux though windows 8 or 8.1 will also be okay.

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: Hp,Dell
b. Dislike:None


6) Anything else you would like to say?
I am a computer science engineering student.And it would be great if the laptop lasts atleast 4 good years withtout lagging.
I will buy it offline from local strore...Kolkata region.
I will buy it this Diwali :)
Thanks in advance to everyone.

Try getting 840m/n15s-gt . Better than 740m and produces less heat.......

I know that mate :)
Said that cos both of them are available in nearly the same price bracket...and if I had to go for 820 over 740 for getting a better overall config,I am open to do so :)

But this one has 820m...and it does not have a standout config so that i may opt for it instead of the 820m!
