Could you guys suggest laptops with ssds for better boot times and battery, although battery is not much of a concern.
I have my eyes on Samsung np550p5c s04in and if my budget permits s05in..
Could you guys suggest better laps meeting these criteria...

I would advice you to get so5n. It is a powerful machine. Try to increase your budget.

Asus S550CM-CJ054H Ultrabook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 750GB 24GB SSD/ Win8/ 2GB Graph/ Touch) - Asus: Flipkart.com

How about this touchscreen laptopt? Has 24GB SSD cache, i5 3rd gen, and decent Nvidia GT 635M graph which is more than sufficient. I don't usually recommend touchscreen laptops, but given that you are not a moderate-heavy gamer, you should be fine with this for light gaming, watching movies, coding etc.

And aesthetically more pleasing than S05IN I would assume (assuming that you mean looks by build quality).

Hi I would have loved the Asus one above but for screen resolution, I need a bit more space at least 900p. Than for the suggestion..

ask him whether he is providing seller warranty or manufacturer warranty with that laptop, and if its the latter one then go ahead and buy it.
