1) What is your budget?
30 - 32 K

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

15"

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Development, running VMs, presentations (no gaming)

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

i5, 4GB RAM minimum, (RAM expansion needed)


5) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like? : None
6) Anything else you would like to say?

With this thinking I zeroed on to toshiba-satellite-c50a-x0012-laptop.

What do you think of this ? Can you suggest some alternatives in this category ?

My other concern is how safe is to buy this on flipkart/snapdeal ? I enquired locally (Bangalore)
and found the quoted price quite high with the dealers. I have bough quite a few things in
flipkart/snapdeal/amazon.in but they are all mostly low price items. When I read about
the user's painfule experiences with respect to snapdeal trying to return things, damaged
items, etc makes me worry a lot. What has been your experience in purchasing laptops ?

Snapdeal is offering an attractive price for this model, but some how snapdeal's lack of
information about user's feedback on their sellers make me nervous.

Please help

thanks
