Which will be best for my requirements? Kindly suggest any other models if they are better than aforementioned models. I am gonna buy soon.

It's hard to believe that you have listed Dell in your dislike category...Dell laptops are said to be amongst the best laptops and they have a huge market share and the same stands true for Acer as well...
If i exclude these two brands, then Toshiba, Sony are the only options left for you..

hp pavilion g6 2103 the best laptop around the market

you can buy samsung amd one from flipkart for 35k
no need to spend 7k more on lenovo as your tasks can be performed well by amd

Thanks for suggestions guys. I dont want Dell because twice my experience has been poor with dell. How is Amd quadcore A8 compared to core i3 3rd generation?? Is it better than I3 3rd?

Regards

^Almost equal or a bit better.

So Samsung one seems best option but it is OOS on flipkart. Btw if I buy a windows 7 based laptop and upgrade it to win8 then can I keep both the os?

don't think so. you can only upgrade as the OS is downloaded through some Microsoft client. And hence won't end up with an *.iso file. but you but can always roll back to your last OS. And trust me, W8 is really confusing. don't go for Windows 8 unless you have tried it yourself once.

Thanks for the info but if I update to windows 8 and later it gets corrupted then how will I reinstall Windows 8?
