Please suggest me good laptops at a range around 35-38K.
Requirements - intel core i3 (3rd gen), >=500 GB hard disk, 4 GB RAM, 1 GB graphics card, win 8 with a good battery life and sound.

Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Dell: Flipkart.com

HP Pavilion G6-2231TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

HP Pavilion G6-2232TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

Arranged in order of preference

Dell one is with U (low Power) i3 proccy.. So performance might be issue..

Ok thank u.

Which one will be better - intel 3rd gen core i3 or APU Quad Core A10? If I leave the intel portion, what will be the best buy in this range?

If intel is left eyes closed go for A10..
but A10 is slower in single threaded operations. Overall lies btwn 2nd gen i3 & 3rd gen i3 but has very good battery life

HP Pavilion G6-2313AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2.5GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com @ 37990
HP Pavilion G6-2301AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2.5GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com @ 34990

A10 + win8 comes for 40k

( I use Pavilion G6-2005ax A8-4500M + (HD7640GHD7670M) CF + 4GB Ram + 500 GB HDD + win7&8 dual boot) & for regular work offers best in class battery backup...)

What about the sound quality in HP? Does any good samsung or vaio laptops come in this range?

Which one?

Vaio ones are good but you wont get this powerful config..

Avoid samsung generally poor hinges + poor cooling + slow A.S.S.

Sony VAIO E15135 Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph)
If we compare the 40k one with this model, which one will be better? I have used vaio of my friend for 1 month. I love vaio and that is the reason I am asking about vaio.

HP one has better GFX.
Overall multithreaded performance will be either same or in favor of HP one..
Also it(sony) has only 1 USB3

I love vaio and that is the reason I am asking about vaio.

If it's not about any gaming or GFX intensive tasks then you can opt vaio I too fell in love with Vaio as far as looks are concerned...

Difference lies in color

BTW pricing part is not by HP so you cannot say HP CHEATS customer..
