I want to buy a laptop and i have found two configurations of Dell Inspiron.

1. 15.6 inch, i5 processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, 9 cell battery.Rs.41000 approx.

2. 15.6 inch, i3 processor, 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, 9 cell battery.Rs.35300 approx.

Please suggest.
I will be using it for normal office use and surfing.
Rarerly for gaming.

Which one to buy.

Get the second one. i3 is good enough for normal office usage.
But if you have gaming in mind, then do consider buying a laptop with a graphics card. Dell Inspiron with 1GB ATi 5450 should cost some 47k INR.
