Laptop required within 30K

1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
Rs. 30000

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

Netbook; 11" - 10” screen or less
Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen
Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen
Desktop Replacement; 17"+ screen



15"-16"
Ready to settle for 12"-14" as well


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

Everyday use (browsing, email, video chat, watching movies, light gaming)

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
AMD APU preffered

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like:
b. Dislike:
No preference like that. Just a good product with good after sales service. I find HP ASS is not good, so like to stay away from HP.

No Win 8 please.


6) Anything else you would like to say?

Screen resolution ( 768p (HD) / 900p / 1080p (Full HD) )
Battery back up ( normal (3-4hrs) / extended (5-7hrs) )
Purchase place ( Online (eg - flipkart, infibeam) / Local / Abroad (do mention the country) )

A good battery backup will be beneficial

I might be able to stretch my budget by 2-3 k. What will be other options for around 27-28k?

I know you want to stay away from hp. But hp has jusy reduced the price of this probook
HP 4445S ProBook (APU Dual Core A6/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS) - HP: Flipkart.com just check it out and tell me your view or else I have something else for you. But this looks really expensive though compared to others in this price range.

Looks really good, the design is really pro. But also it is getting a little out of budget. I like to keep an open mind for this one. Let me know the other option as well.

I really want to stay away from Win 8.
Had to use one for office few days and I don't like it at all.

HP 4445S fulfills all your requirements but it is overpriced. i have it. G500 looks good but has weak GPU. another option is Acer Aspire E1-522A Laptop (APU Quad Core/ 2GB/ 500GB/ Win8) but again weak spec with high price.

Fujitsu is best of the above three.
Great service as it is handled by Aditya Infotech in India.
