Need to buy a laptop, Its for me :: Nah.. you don't deserve it

Screen size: 14" or less with High Res display (preferred) : Way Too Small
Processor: Core i5 or higher : Way TooWeak
RAM: 4 GB or more : Way Too Little
HDD: 500 GB or more : Way TooMuch

Brand: DELL preferred but open to any one matching the requirements. : Dell is overhyped

Portability would be preferred. : Portability is overhyped

Usage: Productivity - BAH , Development (Programming) - BORING, Entertainment - U want a DVD player?, No Gaming, - WHAT????

Budget: strictly under 50k unless its DELL coz I might get a discount then. : Way Too Little - U need to spend 1 lack atleast.. after all it's for the Genius!!

Not that tough ..

I mean these .. Good build, Durable hinge and keyboard, no known overheating issues.

There is a offering from toshiba, that has waterproof kepyboard etc. and built pretty well, let me see if I can find it.

http://www.toshiba-india.com/laptop/tecra-r840-i5-viewmodel.html

This one is 61-62, but only 1.9kgs

At the lower end -

Around 41 for one model and 44-45 for the other model.

 

laptops are overhyped .... but still if u wanna get one ... i say ..we need to plaan ... ! dont hurry !

 

harryneopotter - I need a laptop due to living space constraints .. I have a 2 month window to buy it in .. so I'm not in a hurry.

ManISinJpr -
Core i5 or higher. (preferring core i5 to keep the cost down)
Screen should have high resolution, 1366 x 768 Pixel on 15.6" screen looks terrible IMO.
So either smaller screen size or higher resolution.


@all / Luciffer - Serious advice only please.

 

Thanks ,, I'll check out the ASUS-K53M .. Awesome specs .. , just the screen size/resolution is a downer.

Will it be cheaper at ASUS retail outlets ??


Also , I have a couple of months on my hands ..

 

OK.. dbg... made fun of you enough
But only cuz we all wuv you

But seriously... In case you just want a lappy..
To get work done... but don't care much about the latest greatest specs...
then I could get you one cheap... like under 12K for a decent lappy .. from brand name companies.

Sadly.. i5+ .. I cannot do. My guys rarely have those... and if they do.. I'll take them myself

Unless you want Apple Then I can get you one really cheap.

PS: Wait.. would you be interested in 1-2 yr old DELLs at appox 1/2 original price? (with Bill + Remaining warantee)

 

Luciffer -
I care about the specs .. decent computing performance is required as this will be my primary system.
Gaming/Graphics is not a priority, just enough to play 1080p video smoothly.

A used beefy DELL XPS or similar would be great.. with bill & warranty as you mentioned.

Even I am bugging my friends to sell his XPS to me (XPS 15 - 1.5 yr old with Core i5 + 4 GB + 500 GB + 1920x1080 display + 9 cell battery giving 4 hrs now Original MRP: 62k).

How does this sound for 40k ?
