1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)

Upto 30k. Can extend by 1-2k.




2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

No particular consideration. Laptop is required by a doctor who doesn't need much processing power. 14"-16" should be good.




3) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?

MS Office, movies, internet surfing. No anything particular.




5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?

3rd gen i5 or 3rd or 4th gen i3, 2-4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD will be enough. Need something reliable.




4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
No particular brand consideration




6) Anything else you would like to say?

Prefer buying online as nothing good is available locally.
