Hi,

I am looking to buy a laptop for work and I am torn between these two choices. Budget is 45-55k and I prefer a 13 inch screen. I have shortlisted Toshiba Portege R930, Samsung NP530U3B and Samsung NP530U2B (12.5")

- Corei5
- 4GB RAM
- 500GB HDD


Toshiba has the following pros and cons
+ Optical Drive, Light
- Not as sleek, Reflective Screen

Samsung has the following pros and cons
+ Sleek and beautiful, screen is anti-reflective, SSD for fast boot
- No optical drive, 2nd gen processor

I am clueless about After sales support of both the brands. Which of these would be a better choice for me?

what about the Samsung NP350 (12.5" Screen)? I am getting a great deal on this one.
