Ya, Asus is a good choice with best features in that range.

But I have to spend another 6k+ for Win 7 OS for Asus model.
Please suggest some other model with less or no graphics card with preinstalled win 7 OS.

How is the after sales service for these three brands samsung, lenovo, asus??

Great if you want os.You can store a lot of data as it houses a 1TB hard drive.

Samsungs sales and service is good.
some complaints with lenevo
a lot of problem with ASUS.

get this model if you can spend a little more than 50k it come with os win 7 home premium

Asus K Series K53SV-SX521V Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook

Only one suggest for you from my side.
Get Asus X Series X53SC-SX223D.It comes with a 4GB RAM and you can upgrade it whenever you want.
And if you add OS + extra RAM then also it won't cost you more than 50k.This is the best for you.
Don't go for Asus K Series K53SV-SX521V because you are not into gaming and you don't need a very good graphic card.

Have a look at this. This model is out of stock in flipkart but you can try local shops.

Toshiba Satellite P Series P750

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Will be getting Asus X Series X53SC-SX223D Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook
+win 7 professional + 4GB extra RAM + bag + wireless kb, mouse + McAfee AV for around 51k tomorrow at Ameerpet, Hyderabad.

I will post full details tomorrow.

No one can't.
And I hope you know that too.

havn't bought the ASUS yet, but I saw this lenovo Lenovo IdeaPad Z Series Z570 (59-315953) Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Lenovo Notebook at croma yesterday priced @51k.
It has some additional macro keys for changing the system settings on the go.
One feature is something like duster mode. if you click a button it will clean the dust off the processor fan etc.

But i am not sure about the quality and service of lenovo over Asus.
What do you say friends?
Which one should I go for?

Chose Asus over lenovo.

Even I suggest you to pick Asus over Lenovo

This is marketing gimmick as it is not possible to remove to dust with a click of a button.

Yes I know that but when you said op to bargain and links were of online stores I got kinda confused.

I vote for asus.

I said bargain a lil more after the OP posted that he is getting it for 51k from local market.Please read the post no. 10 carefully.

My bad sorry. Using forum through mobile which creates confusion.

Done. Got this *www.flipkart.com/x53sc-sx223d-core...SA--&ref=0fe8151f-ec80-45bb-9f73-843eb57a5a2d for 42.7k with an additional 4GB RAM from VSL Laptops Zone, Ameerpet. No OS for now.

AOC monitors are fine. I own a 22" 1080p. Look in the config thread and go for anyone suggested there.
