What are your needs and why such a wide budget range? What is your preferred budget?
the main 3 laptops of my selection are

IdeaPad Z570 59-304317 site : Lenovo - Laptop computers - IdeaPad - Z Series - India(IN)

Aspire TimelineX AS5830TG-2413G64Mnbb ( LX.RHJ02.126 ) site : AS5830TG-2413G64Mnbb | Product Model

Thoshiba c640-x4012

which is in this price range..

For me the important considerations are
good processor (core i5 )
long battery life (5hrs+)
DO ANYONE OUT HERE USED ANY OF THESE (please let me know your opinion about these) ??

Anyway thanks in advance for the help...
 
You haven't answered the question about your needs though. How can people recommend you something when then dont know what it is going to be used for!
 
Among these Z570 seems to be the best choice overall. It is very well-built and good looking too, but it is on the heavier side. Acer TimelineX build quality is decent and it looks sleek, and I suppose its battery life will be better. Toshiba will seem VFM specification-wise, but in the long term not worthy as its build quality is nowhere near the other two. Buy it only if you are strictly on budget.

sorry Darkangel,

My needs are:
high performance CPU - core i5 or better
ram -3gb+
hdd -500gb+
screen - 15"+
weight - less than 2.7kg
Battery life - 5hrs+
wifi n + bluetooth
OS - not required.
A bit future proof if possible (USB 3,card readers,chiclet keyboard etc)

will have a lot of encoding work with it.
doesnt need much gaming potential(i only play trackmania with it ).
Will be using linux mainly. so need driver support.
 
I have a 5830Tg. Since it belongs to Timeline series, it has a long battery life compared to others. Also, its graphics card is better than that of Dell, i.e. 540M vs 525M.

thanks in advance

battery life is around 3-4 hours during active usage. i was using it to install drivers, create and restore image and other installation tasks, which i think require active hard disk usage. In a day or two, i'll observe and comment on the battery life while doing every day tasks like surfing.
