6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)

i am confused which laptop graphics are good....there are many models like AMD Mobility Radeon 7670M HD,NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M and many more......can any1 arrange them according to their performance......looks also matters

Gt 740m > 7670m, and since your primary need is programming and entertainment any of these will suffice though its always better to have one which is more future proof. Have you looked into lenovo z500 lineup?

^740m is much better than 7670m and 8730m.
if your budget is strictly 45k then go for Lenovo z500 with 1Gb 740m.
as far as battery backup is concerned, no other laptop at this config will give you more than z500. it gives me more than 5hrs.
I watched a full HD movie of 2.5hrs and battery went down from 86% to 53% with brightness a roughly 40%.

Another +1 to Z500 from my side

Z500 will do good for you.

Lenovo Z500

oh c'mon now...

buy a z500 already ....
