lenovo y500 will be better based on cpu specs and build quality, quite reliable. but still it comes with 768p res while s03 has hd+ 900p res. Since its a new upcoming product there won't be much to compare yet.

Ok i found this laptop for sale at 50k but its specs are i5 3210m, 6gb ram, 1tb HDD, win 8 pro, gt 645m 1gb. For that price it's a cool purchase. It comes with 4 cell battery though n a backup of 3 hrs. it has 1 usb3.0 and 2 usb2.0 ports, dolby advanced audio speakers. I'm not sure about the i7 variant but there is one model also available. My guess is that its i7 3520m and can cost upto 54k.

i found the same i5 model but for 52k and the y500 with i73632m is for 69k....

so i'm searching for y400 or z400....
they would be cheap considering the screen size.......

z400 hasn't released even in the US so u have to wait like 1-2 more months for it to be available in india. Generally u dont find such 14 inch models selling in the market. Like the asus n55sf last year became available in india but not its 14 inch variant. the y500 u have seen is a high end gaming laptop and u can probably get it to around 66k. it has the option for dual graphics to run 2 x gt 650m in sli mode.
z500 is what u can afford for 55k
