Get Lenovo Z500 (Increase the budget by 3-4k)

Within 40k, these are best options(first 2):
Sony VAIO Fit 15E F15213SN/W Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) vs Samsung NP370R5E-S06IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 750GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) vs Lenovo Ideapad Z500 (59-380480) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph): Compare Com

Vaio does seem to hit the right spot..... im only concerned about the ULV being a bottleneck in games instead of the 740m.... otherwise pricewise I dont think any other laptop comes close to the overall package the vaio is currently giving

Don't go for vaio. Check z500 price in local market. You might get it for 42k.
