I have picked two laptops below 50000 for basic office and web browsing. Sometimes, little bit playing. not hard core

HP Pavilion 15-E016TX

Samsung NP550P5C-S04IN (Don't know why it is not available with official store)

Which is better?

HD+1600*900 res >> HD, Awesome JBL speakers >> regular stereo, Most Popular GT650M >>> 8670M,2GB extra RAM,u'll miss these in HP. if all these does not sound "special " for 6k extra, you can very well choose HP.

And not to mention bad design and bad service from Samsung I finally sold my Samsung coz of the constant issues it gave me in fact it even bricked once when I installed ubuntu which I managed to fight and get a replacement at the Samsung service centre
Go for hp or dell if u want great service and great design or even Sony vaio is great in this matter

i have to decide. will it be a good option to buy HP Pavilion 15-E016TX or rather wait for some more time? I also considered Y510P but it is beyond my budget.
