If your needs are met by Apple products, MacBook Air is good too and if 2.06kg is alright, MacBook Pro is available. Or else great windows ultrabooks are there too. Just state if u want a windows OS.

Yeah check out macbook they fit in for you well as per your requirements.

never occured to me.
anyways dad wouldn't allow. moreover chromebooks don't perform that good afaik

can anyone tell me the prices specs and the wieghts of the asus zenbook and vaio (i think s series is the ultraportable one) and some samsung ultrabook that meet the requirements.

please don't give links(i could find many links if i look for it) as i'm in boarding and many websites are blocked including flipkart and other online shopping sites

You can check out series 9 ultra book from sammy though it is a bit over your budget you can still check it out locally and get it for a good bargain.
