Or this Toshiba

Or this HP

may be considered... Note that ASUS has USB 3.0 in its spec sheet. Consider it to be a good investment.

Slightly costlier (24k): Asus X54H-SX227D: [flipkart.com]

Its 2nd gen Core i3 is faster than the Pentium dual cores.
However, You probably won't notice any (significant) differences between them in basic tasks (web browsing, music, office suite).

You can always add more RAM (~1.3k for 4GB stick; 700 bucks for 2GB).
