Why have you mentioned an i5 laptop when you need i7 ? And whats your budget?
It'd be better if you fill the questionnaire.

Consider this Asus K53SV-SX521D
Better than both the laptops you have listed above in every aspect

Thanks, i also own "asus 1215b" but 3 times i have replaced its display once hdd and finally laptop is been replaced once so not good experience with it. so want to experience another brand.

Then go do for DV6, but it heats up and requires much troubleshooting.

Then go and try out sony laptops, but in sony if you want i7 it will cost you much more than the above mentioned laptops.
And even if you consider Dell XPS laptops with i7, they will also cost you more than above mentioned laptops.As XPS with i7 costs around 60k
I don't recommend to go for hp or lenovo laptop.

Thanks , but i want to have a no problem laptop i am buying it from my first salary so it should worth it ,
you can also suggest me for i5 with 1G GPU
but i want a laptop which can be used for next 4 yrs (with good built quality).
what about lenovo Z570 with i5

Z570 has got some negative feedbacks regarding built and quality components. If i5, look no where excpet CB35. See my sig for its review. Also, take HP as last option. I said just because rest of the options were not falling in your budget.

^^^
But CB35 is discontinued now.He will get only CB45 and even that is gonna take exit from the market now very soon

@OP-if you get a CB35 is some local showroom then just grab it

No issues,after we are human beings and if we will not to mistakes then who will do...

Even if I would be at your place I would have gone for some other brand.
So now even I want you to buy something other than Asus.
So if you wan the best laptop which is worth and that too you are getting it from you first salary then I would suggest you to get Dell XPS or any Sony C series laptop which you like,just tell us the model no. and we will tell you more info about the same.
Or I can tell you one thing more also, if you can increase your budget you can also have a look at Macbook Pro 13" from ebay for 60k.

@iampiyush - bro simply grab a Sony Laptop

Might at your budget you will not get a i7 but i5 is also good.
Sony VAIO C Series VPCCB45FN Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Sony Notebook take a look it will be nyc deal

@iampiyush- The above suggested laptop is better than you desire and perfectly suits you. I have the same series' older version. Apart from warming up of area beside touchpad (but only in summer, never saw that in whole winter despite of heavily playing games), its perfect. I run it daily for min 8 hrs. You can also get warranty extend at 2500/- for 2 yrs. So the total cost will be 55k. Finding the laptop below 53k is very tough. Try your luck.

Thanks all ,
@sujay i am getting sony vaio cb45 in Rs 51,150(Only with vaio bag no other goodies).
Is it a good deal ?
Is is worth to pay that much for i5??
cb45 will satisfy our need for another 3-4yrs ??
will that look good after 1-2yr also coz style and design may change, and it has its own different look ??
I know i am asking too many questions but guys don't just want need your suggestion..

CB45 is a great laptop and you are getting it at a good price also.
Go for it.
It satisfies all your need and hopefully you won't experience any problem also this time as sony laptops are very good and the failure rate is also very less.
Down the line atleast 3 years also it will look very good, it has got a Full HD display which no other laptop has got in that price bracket.
