i am going to buy my first laptop... budget 35k to 40k... i will use this laptop at least for four years... so please suggest me a durable laptop...

i am open to any brand ... and i have searched some laptops...

DELL NEW INSPIRON 15R 5520---- core i5, 4GB, 500 GB, DOS----40k
HP 2000 Series 2116TU ----core i5, 2GB, 500 GB, DOS----36k
HP 2000 Series 2124TU ----core i5, 4GB, 500 GB, DOS----36k
SAMSUNG NP300E5X A01 ---- core i5,4GB,500 GB, DOS----35k
LENOVO G 580 ---- core i5,4GB,500 GB, DOS----34k

i don't need graphics card, intel hd 4000 is enough for me...

samsung and lenovo are cheaper than DELL.. but i dono about that product quality and after sale service.... extra 5K for DELL is not a problem.... but somebody said dell products are not good... so i am confused and i dono which one to buy...

What About HP 2000 Series and their service is equal to DELL....

which one has good battery backup and less heating...

help me guysss...

Have a look at HP probook 4430s with same config you mentioned. 2.1kg @ 14". 3 hrs back up if that's enough for you.

Dell has the best after sales out there. The price is higher because of the complete cover they provide, IMO totally worth it. My opinion go with the 15R best bet and piece of mind.
