1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
35 - 40k (can't go beyond 42k)

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Screen size must be greater than 14 inch.

3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
Well known brands like Dell, Sony, Lenovo, HP...

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
He's a bookworm & nerd. Not going to play games with it. Mostly MS office & browsing I suppose.

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
Can manage with1366x768 but anything better than that would be great..

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
Local purchase

Prefer windows 8 and touch would be an added advantage..

Dell India website has touch notebooks with paltry ratings, is touch notebooks that bad??

Has any haswell powered laptops within this budget range released in India?

HP Pavilion G6-2303TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

this one is the same as 2320tx but with free dos. I guess it will cost very less like ~ 37k
