Are you getting this one for 35k. The link you provided redirects to dell US page. Good config if you get it for 35k

I don't think so. Studio models are not listed on dell india website. Inspiron 14R with i5 and 1gb graphics is available for 42k there

Hoping its not 45k.
If you are getting this one for 35k then surely grab this. Its a steal deal.

Well since you are into network security then this is the config for you. 6 GB ram does justice to that and as other said if you are getting this for 35K . Buy it now !
