I guess the mac mini costs less than 45k(not sure though). its not a laptop however. :p

regarding laptops. do not get a lenovo. they have a lot of "issues" at times with hardware.
If you are in no hurry I'd say wait a bit. new laptops are just starting to roll out with 3rd gen proccies.

^^^Asus laptop mainly provides FREE DOS, so we can expect a 3rd gen i5 with GT 640M near 45k easily, i don't care about VGA webcam, and yes getting WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64 bit is not a big deal ;) ahem ahem ;)

I also thought exactly(including windows).Buying windows 7 now would be a mistake.Also I already have genuine OS.
