Hi,

I'm planning to buy this from ebay:

Dell Inspiron 15R N5520, Intel Core i5-3210 2.5 GHz 3rd Gen, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, | eBay

Is it a good deal? Or is there any other similar config at a better price. Please suggest.

Because the same config is not available for so less on DELL. I spoke to the seller. If there's any problem, they have service centers who can solve it and even replace it.
Similar config is for Rs. 55000 on Dell website. Dell Laptops and Ultrabook

Thats not a similar config- the one you are looking at on Dell's website is a far higher spec configuration with 1080p screen, backlit keyboard and 2 gb graphics card.

you should consider the 15R models, not the turbo ones- see these Dell Inspiron 15R laptop

Oh, thanks a lot. I was misled. Btw, I can also do with a 14" screen. Do you have any suggestion? (Any other model will also do) . I just want best value for money.

define your budget first,and if you wanna game then you do need a good graphics card
The popular choices in the forum are the 14R and the 15R, and the Samsung 550p

You will not get 15R with corei5, 1 TB and 8 GB RAM from dell india website.

I am also interested to buy the laptop from ebay but keep postponing. I think the seller buys laptop from Dell USA.

dell 15r will have glossy screen while HP has anti reflective. I am also thinking of HP probook but the hard disk is only 500 GB.

Yeah, but can't trust the ebay one without any warranty.
Any other comparable laptops you shortlisted with comparable specs to the probook.
