Hi Guys,

After my Dell Studio gave up after 7 years of Intensive use, I am looking for a replacement.
Budget is around 60k - can increase if required.

Usage:
1. Development tools - Eclipse, Android Studio, Oracle etc.
2. Gaming - Fifa
3. Others - Browsing, Movies etc.

I think something along the following lines should be good:
14" / 15" screen.
i7 6th Processor.
8GB RAM.
2GB Graphics Card.
HD / FHD Display.
Windows 10 bundled. (Don't want to go for DOS).

Preferred Brands (in NO order): Dell, Lenovo, ASUS.
(Strict no to HP - Have had a bad experience with it earlier.)

I have the following options in mind:
1. Dell Inspiron 15 5559 laptop price and specificatio
2. Lenovo Ideapad 500 - Ideapad - Laptop

Please advice if there are better options that I should go for and if the above config would suit my needs.
Thanks & Cheers.

Have to buy one urgently.

Your budget falls short for a good latest config. Don't include ULV processors though.
