Hello guys, please help me in buying a new laptop, as I am confused among the plethora of options available in the market.

I basically require it for browsing the internet, watching movies, reading eBooks, downloading. Though I will not be playing high graphics games, but I would like to play older games like counterstrike,etc. It should have a good speaker system with good sound as I like music very much. Which brand would be best for me. I live in Gurgaon, so if you can suggest any place/shop from where I can get a good deal, it would be helpful.

The laptop should at least have Intel dual core with minimum 1 GB ram. A laptop with similar AMD processor will also be OK.

My budget is upto 35K

Thanks & regards,
Subroto

i think you are from MARS planet, a Dual core processor with 1GB ram for 35k? :facepalm: you can get a badass 3rd gen I5 processor in your budget.

so here are my suggestions for you
Lenovo G580 but please check for other colours.
HP 2000 series
HP another 2000 series
Samsung 300P

Iam like you only, everyday i play CS on my 3rd gen I5 processor. and believe me HD 4000 is more than enough. i play at 100 fps with 16x AA (better clarity and graphics).

Samsung NP300E5X-A01IN is a very good option.
And for Counter Strike Intel HD4000 will be enough.
