Wrong section. Ask in Laptop section. :)

As for suggestion I guess HP would be a better deal if bought from Flipkart as all the three laptops are nearly identical so HP is giving better VFM and HP service Service Centers are not hard to find. :p

Samsung one has several advantages for extra 4k

1)HOME PREMIUM VS HOME BASIC(but if u upgrade to windows 8 both will get windows pro)
2)2GB More RAM
3)Better build quality
4)1 Extra USB port
5)750GB VS 500GB HARD DISK
6)Flipkart e-Gift Voucher worth Rs.900

Buy hp because of cheaper price and onsite service support that lacks in samsung laptops.

build quality feels cheap cause of the lid's cover which is highly flexible but the overall build is much better for only 32k. Moreover unless one starts to use the cover as a dining table or for chopping vegetables, there won't be any problem ;)

Samsung used to use aluminium or some kind of metal alloy in their earlier laptop but no idea what are being used in the budget laptops. should be same plastic.

i wanted to uy samsung because of the following reasons:
1. it has more ram
2.it has more space
3.available in more colors
4.graphics card is same as hp so don't matter much
don't you think its good to spend 2-3k more for samsung

and i mentioned one more laptop in my choice acer it has same price as hp so why not acer it has also 1 mp camera

Why not acer? If we compare it with the other laptops, it has one extra slot for ram free. The hd webcam is also an added advantage. U can also extend the warranty for the next two years by paying only 561 bucks. The disadvantage which I saw is that the display is on the lower side.

Honestly I have seen flipkart giving amazing reviews for whatever products they sell. Not that I am doubting them, but its a bit awkard!
