Laptop Buying Advise: Budget 50-65k

H

Hi friends, My firend wants to buy a laptop.

Her requirement is normal.. browsing... movie watching etc. Screen size requirement is 13-14 inches

She is more interested on Sony Vaio laptops/lenovo or apple(but mac book pro or Apple macbook is out of budget)

My personal experience with dell was also not good.. it has so many problems within the first year.. I am alos using Vaio(SR 520 G .. bought it from usa and its working really well)

Other requirements:
Windows 8
Screen should be good ...
backlit keyboard etc

please suggest some..
I have sortlisted these

Sony VAIO T13126CN Ultrabook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 128GB SSD/ Win8/ Touch Screen) - Sony: Flipkart.com

Sony VAIO S13125CN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 750GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - Sony: Flipkart.com

Sony VAIO T13126CN Ultrabook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 128GB SSD/ Win8/ Touch Screen) - Sony: Flipkart.com

Please suggest yours opinion too

Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

Best VFM laptop around, period. Full HD, high end graphic card. Don't go for touch screen lappy's - pricey and dodgy performance.

+1 for Lenovo Y500, but I have not heard much about their after sales service, if you can let of a slight GPU power: Sony VAIO SVS13118GN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 4GB/ 750GB/ Win7 Prof/ 1GB Graph) - Sony: Flipkart.com

+1 for Y500 if gaming is main concern or else the one suggested by tkin is way to go!

Other than dell and maybe HP, everything else is meh when it comes to ASS. And this doesn't have FHD, waste of money except for it's form factor.

BTW 4 gig RAM for a lappy of 65k is way ain't good

Way to overpriced. We're usually looking for VFM and good quality, rather than mere looks or portability mostly.

+1 from me for lenovo y500.if you can get better product in your budget then why not you get it..

but even if gaming is not a use case even then its better than vaio ones?

ANd is it available in 13-14 inches too?

^^^i know what girls prefer when it comes to choosing a laptop...LOOKS

they don't care about configuration at all apart from LOOKS and watching movies, Universal truth, i have 5 cousin sisters and they all picked up those laptops which had good looks, SONY wins here by huge margin, so tell her to get that 1st laptop which you have suggested.

Lenovo Y500 does have a younger brother - Lenovo Y400, but i think it has not been launched yet.

Just came through this in desidime and the spaces looks very good.

Need more power?
Change the HDD with a 180GB SSD which will cost you ~13K

520mx? Absolutely pathetic: NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX - NotebookCheck.net Tech

lenovo y400(14 inch screen) is not available till date i think. otherwise this smaller version of y500 also would be a good option.. . touchscreen will not be a good option imo. you will forget to stretch hand and touch screen after a few days.. !

How does the Dell Inspiron 15r turbo compare with the Y500? The seem to have similar specs and are also priced pretty close.
