Out of those three u can go with sony since it has good features.

However take a look at this one
Asus K Series K53SV-SX521V Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook

This one has nvdia gt 540m 2 gb,an I7 processor,8 gb ram,750 hdd etc.
I would recommend this one since it is total value for money.

Since he will not be gaming much 540M is not needed 6630M will be enough
also sony has 1080p screen which i better for movies

Don't go for dell inspiron
Sony is great and even asus is good
for 50k you can also get xps which is also a great machine

I would have preferred vaio since 525M and 6630M are in the same league(I think 6630M is a little better)
Also vaio has 1080p screen

Anyways, congratz :D

popeye11, at a budget of 50K, my suggestion is to stick with Asus laptop due to their exceptional build quality (it's better than Dell and far better than Leneovo), very high end specification, good Display quality, exceptional batter life and cheaper price. I personally owned Laptop from Dell, HP, Lenovo and now switched to a Asus one; so talking from my hands on experience.
Currently almost all the Sub 40K Dell laptops are showing heating issue and battery issue (backup is reduced to 1 Hr after one year), so stay away for them.
My suggestion is: Asus K Series K53SV-SX521D @ Rs 47385
Asus K Series K53SV-SX521D Laptop Brown Aluminium: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook

The configs are:
Intel 2nd Gen Core i7 2670QM (2.2 GHz, 6 MB L3, 4 cores, 8 threads)
8GB (4GB X 2 ) 1333 MHz DDR3
750GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD
Nvidia GT 540M 2GB DDR3
2 USB 2.0 ports
1 USB 3.0 port
BT 3.0
Wifi 102.11 b/g/n
1000 Mbps Lan
0.3 Mpx web cam

This laptop is one of the best VFM laptop which offers so many features to use it for all kind of applications. The processor is a work horse and even beat some of the desktop high end CPUs. 8GB Ram is more than all you need, USB 3.0 is a really nice feature. Also GT 520M graphics card allow you play all the games.
