Must requirements :
1) great battery life
2) great audio quality
3) light weight
4) good looks

In order of preference.

Nil gaming . Screen size 15"+ but can consider 14" if convinced.Also, a point to note that OS is not an issue as i can download win 7/8 from my college site for free. So i guess DOS can save me good bucks.

HP Pavilion M6 matches all your requirements.
Battery life: Company promises 8 hours. I'm getting 6.5 to 7 hours under normal use with Wi-Fi on.
Audio: Beats audio. Ultimate audio clarity.
Weight: 2.4KG. Better than many other laptops with the same screen size. It is pretty sleek and is easy to carry around.
Looks: Looks great. Check out the photos online. Looks amazing.

It also has a fingerprint reader which can be used for Windows login, filling up user name, password and other details in the browser, and launching sites by swiping different fingers.

Overall it is a great sleek laptop with 15.6 inch screen.

This will cost 53 to 54k.
