Hello I am new to this forum and this is my first post! Right off the bat I wanted some advice on buying laptops.
I will be buying two laptops one for me other for my brother. We both have different tastes so will be taking different models:-
For me:-
Budget:- 50k can adjust a little on the upper limit if considering a big change.

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer? :- preferably thin & light, can have a 15'' screen.

3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like? :- As long as its available in India, (NOT HCL)

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook? :-Office work, Will be playing DOTA 2, Diablo 3,Witcher2,etc (not so advanced games, medium settings will do he trick also)

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?:- HD+ or Full HD, Must be very good looking, backlit keyboard,& min 40 GB SSD.

For my Bro:-
1) Budget:- 70k

2)What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer? :- Mainstream and only mainstream

3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?:- Except HCL

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
:- Gaming

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer? :- Full HD

6) Anything else you would like to say? :- Backlit Keyboard, Best Graphics card in such Range

For both:- Can have any of the processors (AMD or Intel, no hard or fast Rule), Windows requirement is also not needed.

For 70K budget close your eyes and get this laptop

For 50K, this is best if you need enough space, or
If you want looks then have a look at Sony too.
