1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)

ideally 35k - 45k stretchable to 55k max

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

def. mainstream laptop 15" - 16"


3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
I mostly work on MS office, with tally accounting software and net browsing.

light gaming and watching movies.


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

nothing specific but atleast i5 , 4gb ram, 1tb hdd

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?

i would prefer dell, hp , lenovo as they have wide service network.


6) Anything else you would like to say?

Screen resolution ( 768p (HD) / 900p / 1080p (Full HD) ) FHD 1080p
Battery back up ( normal (3-4hrs) / extended (5-7hrs) ) normal, but if possible do suggest extended options
Purchase place ( Online (eg - flipkart, infibeam) / Local / Abroad (do mention the country) ) online or local as i have doubts about warranty on abroad purchase.

•K555LB has built quality issues - check Amazon reviews.
•R558UF has USB C
•750 Evo endurance- 32 TB
vs
Bx100 endurance-64 TB

The panel on k555lb is not antiglare and cannot confirm either it is ips

If it's a TN panel it's not worth.

what is the problem with TN panel? all lenovo laptops have TN display panel

also i was browsing through lenovo site..

what about z51-70 80K-600-VVIN OR IDEAPAD 500 - 80NT00L3IN

any suggestions??

i don't want to buy asus as the after sales service is very bad in my area...

This laptop I mentioned has 1080p anti glare screen, GT940M, backlit keyboard, light weight at 2.1kg & ADP... So I think it is a option than both Asus ones... You might find it cheaper locally (Check other online retailers too)

Add a 8GB RAM stick in it if you want, costs 2.5k

TN displays are inferior in colour reproduction compared to normal LED backlit displays (So basically TN displays are cheaper)

That Z51 costs 59k in amazon. Except for CPU(better) & display(worse), everything is similar between it & the HP one

That Ideapad 500 costs 65k. Overall these two laptops aren't worth their price. I'll say that HP provides a good value for money as i5 is more than enough for your tasks & light gaming (provided you install the additional 8GB RAM)

If you can increase your budget to 65k, I can give better options like this one
Online Mobile Recharge - Postpaid, DTH & Datacard Bill Payments at Paytm.co
After applying the paytm promo code, you will get about 6k cashback in paytm wallet. So effective price will be 66k (You can transfer your paytm cash to bank account aganist a small fee, about Rs200)

HP 15-ac635TU is good for under 40k (It has 1080p screen but no backlit keyboard as some retailers mention)

No you can't...

What's the point of posting when people don't even go through all the post
