Hi friends ,

It's time to get a Laptop as my old Acer emachine D725 is dying.

I generally need it for office work with documents, spreadsheets, etc. HD movie viewing and for surfing.

1) What is your budget?

30000/- INR. Can't stretch further. If lower price model is available, I will buy that.



2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
  • Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen
  • 15" or 15.5 will also do.


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

MS office suite
HD movie viewing
Surfing

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

Minimum i3 .
I don't have much idea about AMD processors and don't know their potential. Suggest me please

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: HP, Dell
b. Dislike: Asus, Acer,


6) Anything else you would like to say?
  • Screen resolution ( 768p (HD)
  • Battery back up ( normal (3-4hrs)
  • Purchase place : From shop only. No online purchase. So the price difference might be 2/3k when comparing with online price. If anyone from Kolkata can let me know any reliable shop in Chandni, G.C. Avenue, E-Mall area.

Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit apprehensive about the hardware quality of Asus, as they don't have much presence in laptop segment.

Hardware quality of asus is as good as any brand at least in less than 50k price segment(speaking from experience).Also they provide 2 years warranty which is quite good & if you can get ADP(accidental damage protection) too at cheap rate(during some offers it is available for as low as 500) then it is the best value for money warranty you can get.
