Any comments/suggestions?

+1 to Lenovo B590 and G500 (i5 version)

Are those 2 touch screen laptops?
Still haven't made up my mind, but very close to buying: Asus F202E-CT148H VivoBook
any thoughts on that?

-1 for that vivobook. why buy a ULV i3 processor when you can buy a proper i5 and within your budget?

If OP wants to continue playing Company of Heroes 2 after finishing Company of heroes 1, a laptop with a good CPU+GPU is recommended.

R

Thanks, what do you think of ASUS Vivobook S400 CA120H?
Asus Vivobook CA120H Core I5 3rd GEN 4GB RAM 500GB 24GB 14" Touch WINDOWS8 | eBay

^ again a ulv processor without a dGPU.
and why are you so much focused on touch screen part? I understand if it was a convertible laptop like overpriced lenovo yoga series, but this one isn't.

Not much of a reason. Initially, i wanted to buy a tablet, then came across these hybrids.
So wanted to know if it is worth to get these.

This one.

Powerful CPU+Powerful GPU+Touch+14". Looks perfect. One of the sellers sells it for exactly 35k but I would suggest you get it from Croma which charges 40k and is Amazon fulfilled. You can't go wrong with Croma.

Seamon,SaiyanGoku Thank you very much

A Laptop with a touchscreen is not a true 'hybrid' . It is just an additional feature which no one will use eventually

A true hybrid is a windows tablet without an attached keyboard like Omni 10. That one has got good reviews and has a full HD Screen . The battery life is kinda a let down though.

My suggestion is still better due to core i5M.

One of the seller sells for Rs 3499. That's Rs -1 difference. I am saving a penny of OP.

Just FYI:
I did try to contact the seller 3 days back to confirm the laptop specs, but he has responded yet.
Sent him one more message today.

Croma offers got over by last Sunday itself..

One more question:
Most likely the battery is going to last for 3-4 hrs.
Is it possible to change/upgrade battery to a higher rating one?
