1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Netbook; 11" - 10” screen or less
Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen
Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen
Desktop Replacement; 17"+ screen

14.1" or 15.6"

3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like:
b. Dislike:

No specific brand.

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
AUTOCAD


5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
No preference


This is not a sure purchase as a desktop is also being considered.

I take it currently the hp g6 trinity is the best performing in this budget. Please suggest as I am not very aware of this segment.

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)

buy a desktop.

Thats really my plan. G620 or maybe a A8.
Just want a backup thought if we change decision to laptop.

you have already selected the only candidate at such low budget. But in case you go for desktop, you can easily go for a fast GPU like HD7770 along with G620 and still should cost less than the lappy and performance 3 times better.

Well heres the catch. I am actually buying two desktops for my dad(one in office and one for home).
So its basically 1 laptop vs 2 desktop :wink:
