1) What is your budget?
Up to 50k can extend most by 5k if need be.


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

14" - 16" screen


3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?

Any brand will do


4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?

Will mostly be using it for Pentesting , video gaming , video editing .

Graphics minimum - 1Gb dedicated +

O.S doesn't matter If DOS or UBUNTU is there and if it cuts down the price I would love to go for that .

And I would be using many virtual machines . therefore i7 or i5 recommended .

Don't have much idea abut the new 3rd generation processors but ya above 2nd generation will do . Suggest me the best in that range.

And ya heating is also and issue will love to go with the one which heats up less .

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?

No such requirements

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)

No such requirements

Thank you .. As i am planing to join college soon and need a laptop . Therefore your help will be appreciated thanks :razz:
