1) What is your budget?
Max Rs 50,000.
However, would prefer sub 40K if I can get a laptop with good screen and build quality in that price.


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen
Weight: < 2.5 Kg

3) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
Microsoft Office, HD Movies, Adobe Photoshop, Browsing.


5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
For sub 40,000 : 3rd Gen Ci5, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD
For sub 50,000 : 4th gen ci5, 6 GB RAM, 1TB HDD
Should come preloaded with win 8

My priorities: Display > Keyboard and touchpad feedback > snappy multitasking performance > Build quality

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: DELL (Really like inspiron 15 however have heard a lot of negative things about its glossy low quality screen)
b. Dislike: HP (Have heard about overheating and service problems for this brand)


6) Anything else you would like to say?
Screen resolution ( Best display quality for the price )
Battery back up ( normal (3-4hrs) )
Purchase place ( Online (eg - flipkart, infibeam) / Local )
