Dear All,
I need to buy a new laptop in which I can install Windows Server 2008/2012 & RedHat Linux RHEL v6 (Dual Boot Environment) & my budget is 35,000 INR.
So, please suggest me which model will be better for this operation.

Prefer Brands: Dell/Vaio/HP/Lenovo.

Thanking you.

Samsung NP300E5X-A01IN or Lenovo G580. Both cost almost same at ~34k. Grab whichever you like.

But can I install Windows Server 2008/2012 & RHEL v6 (Dual Boot Environment) in these laptops???

Since Gaming is not the need avoid Nvidia optimus , Go with the integrated intel graphics as it has good support for Linux environment.

I have heard some people saying that n550 lags in gaming when connected to external power is it true?

Does any laptop having i5 within 60k has 4 physical core?

i5 is a dual core. only i7 with Q in their model no are quad cores. N550P power brick is not able to provide sufficient power. Maybe that is the reason. Else updated driver should fix the problem.

Then it is true that it lags(throttle?) even on charging?
