This is an urgent request since college has started already...
Also, any idea how much discount I'd get by showing my ID Card? (I am from IIT)

Lenovo Z500 or Samsung NP550P5C S04IN

You will get discounts on Dell and Apple laptops by showing your id card regarding others I am not sure.

NP550P5C S04IN is out of stock everywhere. I will check local stores.

Don't say that mate. Here you go - Samsung NP550P5C-S04IN Ultrabook (3rd Gen Ci5-3210M/ 6GB/ 1 TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph-Nvidia GeForce GT 650M) - Buy Online @ Best Price | Snapdeal.com 51k(after the 500 cashback)

How about Asus K55VM-SX086D?

I don't mind not having windows pre installed... My friend has a multi licence installation disc...

GPU in the ASUS one is a 630m, paltry when compared to the 650m in S04IN. Go for the Samsung one if you can afford it.

gpu in asus one has 144 shaders not 96 and it's a rebranded gt 555m

What if i don't really care about the GPU so much and I want i7 over i5 and 8gb over 6 gb...

Then is the ASUS one good?

Are there any problems with it?
