I bought the Y series black just 2 weeks ago. Cost Rs 24.5..its good overall..on-board Radeon graphics (NFS hot pursuit 2 can be played like a charm)..but Avataar movie 3.69 GB doesnt run that smoothly..
Else it is fine..
MAKE SURE U DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FROM THE SONY INDIA WEBSITE. As they dont carry the driver CD. ..Os is windows Seven starter which is a big big crap ( u cant change wallpapers, themes, etc)..get windows home premium or ultimate.
Beyond this, Sony is a beauty (like my sweetheart!!)

Sadly, most girls do not like black color. In that case consider the suggestion given by aroraanant.

Sony is the best but unfortunately my girl is not interested in specifications and features. Only girly looks.. :x:x

Previously she was having Lenovo black color. She was not happy with the color, her eyes stucked to only Dell glossy colorful laptops. Any recommendations in Dell budget Rs.30,000 :???::???::???:
