Hi all,

I request your suggestion for purchasing a new laptop .
Purpose: basic office work -- excel, word, power point. good screen size. easy portability. Stable build --> meaning that it should not give heat problems etc etc.
Price Range: Rs.25000-Rs.35000.

Big question: AMD is enough or Intel ??

Few models that I have seen are: HP 1319 AX or SAMSUNG 305E5A SO1 - AMD
Sony vaio - I do not remember model number.

also Lenovo thinkpad laptop seems to be robust in terms of performance and stability and not heating up much.

What do you say?
Please recommend.

15.6 or less also fine.
Weight - quality/stable build is a concern. lesser the better but weight is not a big concern

also Lenovo thinkpad laptop seems to be robust in terms of performance and stability and not heating up much.

What do you say?

if you want mainly for word processing, Thinkpad as well as Probook are the ones you should be looking for. But under your budget there are no decent thinkpad (packing slightly old spec) so if you want 15" check this: HP 4540s ProBook. And for 14" this: HP 4445S ProBook. 4540S is the way to go unless you want a 14", 2kg laptop and considerably cheaper (one with 2GB ram will cost 30k locally) along with 3yr warranty.
