have a look at Asus X53 Series X53SC-SX536D

Or can even have a look at Sony VAIO E Series VPCEG3AEN, there is 15.5" model also but that costs around 45k

yes, same here avoid Lenevo,

One of mine friend had visited the servicing center 2 times in a month, in a span of 15 days from the date of purchase.
Issue :- Always over heating & suddenly stops responding after uses of 1hr or so,required to take out the battery & again start the operation after 20-30mins...

At the servicing center almost 12 users were facing the same issue, and every ones laptop was hardly a month old...

Asus laptops are good,they have got a very good build quality and also no heating issues and one gets very good config at low price.
I or I should say we have been suggesting Asus laptops to people here on TDF but I have heard many issues regarding the display so I suggest you to look out for Sony Laptops now as HP laptops also suffer from build quality issues and heating problems though I have heard that it has been resolved but still I doubt it.

Both the above listed Sony model are almost same just the difference is of screen size, so you decide that which screen size you want

3. Sony vaio VPCEH3AEN

Just a small correction.
It is VPCEG3AEN

@OP - Go for i7 if you can, will help you a lot in Oracle, especially 11g.

I think i5 will be enough.
Oracle 10g works fine on my old Dell with Core 2 Duo though I have not tried 11g

^Enterprise edition? I had earlier installed 11g but it significantly reduced my boot time by 5 mins. So, now back to 10g. Though it also made boot-up 1-2 mins slow.

My mate's i3 (Ist gen) vaio with 3GB used to take 30 mins to boot on 11g. :shock: & 10 mins on 10g.

By boot-up I mean full loading of all the process, not just desktop screen. Processes keep loading even after DWM loads.

@Dashing.sujay- My core 2 Duo old dell Inspiron takes around 5mins to boot up, and there are a lot of other things also in my laptop, I don't know why your friends laptop takes such a long time.

Thanks all for ur advice.

I know its surprising and shocking, but we were told same by our Oracle teacher that i3 will be a PITA and it is (on 11g). I have seen this. Even my lappi shows considerable performance drop. I don't know what the hell 11g does with windows. :?

No one here uses 11g.
And as it is latest it will not be implemented in organizations soon
