I wanted to buy laptop and shortlisted below models :

Dell Inspiron 15R
Lenovo Z580

Which one do you recommend? Why?

I'm having budget of up to 50k, if there're models with better config and lower prices, do suggest.

Laptop should have at least following config and better after sales support:

Core I5 (3rd generation)
4GB Ram
500GB HDD (7200 RPM if possible)
1GB Graphic card (if possible)


Awaiting response at the earliest.

Is after sales service as good as dell?

Yeah, 2016tx is a good machine for your needs. IMO go for it.
PS : It has a 5400rpm HDD but thats what u generally get in laptops. A very limited number of laptops offer a 7200rpm HDD.

G6 series build quality is fine. Regarding after sales service, if its not better than Dell, then not even worse. As far as my experience is considered, HP's service is very good.
