Hi friends,
Please suggest a good laptop for my requirement. I plan to purchase 2 laptops (For my friend too) of same requirement within this week.

1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
30 - 40k

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

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen


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

Nothing specific.

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
Eclipse, Linux & Android Programming , Watching movies. I rarely play games.


5) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
My other major requirements are

1) Good battery life
2) Less heat generation - I have heard many people complaining of mother board issue in HP because of more heat generation

I have a desktop at home and hence I will use the laptop mostly during travel [3 to 4 times in month]

Please help me choose the best laptop guys.

Thanks
P
