Go for Acer.... coz..

1 . Acer's performance is rocking..
2. Acer's service network in india is better than dell or lenove. actually dell has only one centre in banglore and nowhere else !!!
3 . lenovo are costly for the config they provide..

check www.acer.co.in you will surely find sth in ur range and taste

man this is kind of standard config available across all companies in this segment. i am not very sure but i was browsing through dell's site some days ago, there are some models around 50-55K in which u can get graphics card. just browse around. A solid graphics subsystem wil boost ur system's performance a lot. coz u need power when u r gaming. internet explorer runs on 500 MHz too..

and pls do consider Acer. This is my personal experience and many of my friends.

and pls don't even think abt HCL, Compaq, HP or Zenith
