In India, I don't think you'll be able to find a laptop with 1080p screen for 42k. You might have to buy it from abroad.

Thats true in india minimum you have shell out 65k for 1080p laptop, or better settle for 720p

you can check out this laptop this will fit you budget Asus K Series K53SV-SX520D its available for 35 to 37k

My friend got an MSI laptop last month from Korea for exactly 42k. I don't remember the model number, but it has i5-2430, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 555M, and a 1080p screen. Sad we don't get them for so cheap here.

sorry but budget is tight..
Can go for 720p
he will be buying on sunday, so any options??

Go for Asus K Series X53SC-SX223D
This is the best one for 42k

F

how will be dell inspiron 15 ?

I personally find Inspiron not upto the mark, especially due to bad keyboard(plasticky) and average display.

F

how is lenovo ?
I heard more bad reviews for z570, however some told its VFM

In Dell only xps laptops are good but they are lil costly.
Look out something in Asus or sony

F

I would have chosen the asus laptop u mentioned, but my friend will not agree with asus.
I think he should take the same laptop as mine or is there any other model in sony ??

the one you have is the only one which fits in your friend budget in sony

And don't go for lenovo

Why not go for VPCEH25EN : E Series : VAIO™ Laptop & Computer : Sony India , add 2 GB RAM, and still save those precious 8-9k?

There is a difference of RAM,processor and HDD and the price difference is around 10-11k.
And when the OP is ready to spend to 42k then I think we should let him purchase it

Ok can you quote me any reason why should he spend that extra 10k just to watch movies? I mean i3 + 4GB + an avg graphics should do bingo.

Hmmm bro I agree with you that he don't need the config of 42k laptop but the thing is when one is ready to spend a higher amount then and is getting good config also then he will not even think of lowering his/her budget when he/she is ready to spend a higher amount.A person thinks a lot before increasing the budget but never ever thinks of lowering the budget when he/she is finding that there is a good amount of difference in the products that time the person forgets what is his/her use but will only try to get the best thing.That is a human tendency bro thats it and that is the only reason I suggest the same.

Human tendency Vs Technical View ! I can't say more.

Well in this case, if he can't increase his budget, better he decrease it, coz he is getting nothing really worth those 10k which he really will be using.

^^^^
Totally agree with you on that...
Sometimes we have to give suggestions considering the human tendency and keep out the technical view.
Anyways now lets see what OP decides...

F

me too told him that i3 will suffice, but he wants i5 (human nature) ..
I think there is no other option than eh28,
in hp can we find some similar model ?
A shopkeeper told me about hp g6, is it good ?

I want vaio vh 28. my budget is 42k but I dont need freebies and windows. can you tell me price at local dealer.

With vaio, you won't get without the prebundled OS, AFAIK. Although you can bargain to bring the cost down by 1 or 2k.
