I'm a Computer Science engineering student. I need laptop as per the specifications given below!
BUDGET: 35-45k

SCREEN SIZE:
  • Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen
  • Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen

Use:Coding/Web Development for 5-6 hours daily and OCCASIONAL gaming(Hence not very memory intensive)
Processor: i5(2nd/3rd Gen)
RAM: 4-6GB
Graphics Card: 512MB-1GB
HDD:I won't store a lot of Data in it
Build quality: Good
Battery:Not much of a problem
Heating : Not so much that it irritates
Brand preferences: I saw Inspiron 15R, A couple of Sony and Samsung lappies out in the market.
Samsung seams to be cheaper, but I'm skeptical of its reliability and service. Please suggest.. I can wait until Diwali too, if there'd be any better deals :razz:

Inspiron 15R is really a good laptop, if you are thinking of that then just get it.
Or if you want to save money and want to get a good laptop in medium/low budget then have a look at Samsung NP300E5X-A01IN
