u can go for dell inspiron 14r ... has i3 proc, 2gb ram and 630m graphic card too with windows 8. U can later increase ram to 4gb and laptop costs u around 35k.
But its weight is 2.29kgs.

Lenovo ideapad 14 " model is 1.8 kgs but it uses amd apu and gpu which will be weaker than the i3. It's little pricey and goes till 38k.
