Aspire 5738 will be a good choice. It has good screen and 2nd Gen Dolby certified speakers, great by laptop-speaker standards. It would be available in less than 32-33K. Good battery life too. VFM at its price point.
And in case it matters, It runs linux as well as any other laptop would.

Is there any website where i can see the complete specs and preferably price too ?
Also my friend is little bit inclined towards Dell for the simple reason he says "sab log dell hi lete hain". I told him that recently Acer has come up with VFM lappies. So what i tell him to convince him to buy Acer. Any particular disadvantages of one brand over another?

You can view specs here.. The price quoted as 35K+, but it should be available for around 33K with local dealers.
Between Acer and Dell, with Acer you get more features at the same price point. Acer has a lot better speakers and possibly screen is also better. Dell is supposedly better service (mainly due to their on-site support rather than Acer's carry-in). Long-term reliability of Acer is not yet as established as Dell. but then Dell also reportedly has a lot of issues in its new line-up (specially Studio).

Acer does provide Vista and XP Drivers on a DVD, at least for previous models this was true. You can check with the dealer. Otherwise, Windows XP, Vista, 7 drivers are available online - both for 32 n 64 bit OS.

At 29k for the Linux version of Acer Aspire 5536G is a steal. Go for it. The Vista Home Premium version will cost you a little more.

AFAIK, This Creative Audigy solution is some software that allows you to enhance the output of your speakers. But it is not so useful, as this could be done using some other alternative software.
Hmmm.....
Provided like me your friend can gamble with 32K then
Asus X83VB x2 , From Ebay seller techless.in can be the best laptop that can be bought in this range... comes with 4gb, vista x64 home premium, C2D t6400, nividia 9300 on board + designer paint (no need of laptop skin), 250gb hdd, LED LCD, 5 sata ports , HDMI port, E-sata port....Phew!!! the list of feature is too long... and cherry to the cake 4.1 digital surround sound speaker system, one the best laptops in terms on speakers .....
Now the Catch.....ie the gamble.... Does not come with Indian warranty rather than 1 years dealers warranty... About me i didn't care as my little sis has to use it and i knew how much she can stress it.... So stress beakdown was out of question... So the laptop is in clear until some freakish thing happens to the Motherboard... rest i can get it fixed... worst case scenario... i can strip and sell lappy to recover at most 10K so really risk is 22K actually and if it works for 1 year .. i think since very few people go for extended warranty.. especially ones with limited budget. i can safely say my chances are same as dell /acer or any other laptop post warranty...
All the risk assuming seller will not help with warranty issue... what if he does help.... the laptop retails around 620 USD + - few shops tax shipping, so really you can get this laptop at the US prices...
peace

Actually my friend has made up his mind to get this Inspiron 15 laptop only.
He also has the quotation. I have attached it here. Please guys have a look and tell me what all things he can remove / add from this quotation to get a better price/value ratio.
Somethings i suggested are
1. Remove the Mcafee AV
2. Some Wifi card is there, i told him to remove, it is something related to increasing wifi range. Not needed i suppose.
