Hi guys..I am planning to buy a laptop for college (2 yrs MBA) by this weekend.

What's your Budget? Max 27k

What will be your primary usage for the notebook be? Surfing (10-15 tabs at a time),MS OFFICE, Light Photoshop, Casual Gaming ( Burnout/Cricket/FIFA), Lots of Movies

What size and weight considerations do you have? Light Weight since I will be carrying it in Local trains of Mumbai ( But sturdy as well )

Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest? Brands that have bad A.S.S in Mumbai not preferred cos I want a hassle free experience for atleast 2 years.

Any other considerations? Longer battery life appreciated, Good keyoard since I have to type a lot, Confused about screen size though !!

I am very much tempted to buy the HP DM1Z after seeing rave reviews about it all over town but I am worried about its horrible trackpad feedback & the fan noise !!

Other considerations:

Asus P52F ASUS P52F NOTEBOOK LAPTOP 15.6" + MANUFACTURER WARRANTY | eBay

ASUS K52F ASUS K52F Dual Core Laptop - Deal of the week Offer | eBay

Dell Vostro 1015 Flipkart.com: Dell Vostro 1015 C2D/2GB/320GB: Computer

All the above seem to be good vfm machines.

I am not looking at expensive Dell or Vaio notebooks cos I want to buy an external HDD, a printer and mebbe some other goodies with the money I save on the lappy !!

EDIT: I will be using WiFi a lot in college so I need to buy a lappy with good battery life !!

@Above...Well, ya I did almost zero in on AMD 350 APU based HP DM1Z but then I thot I must consult you guys before I buy !! I checked out the AMD Fusion based Vaio but its battery life is a meek 3 hours whereas abt Samsung, I am unaware whether they have a Fusion lappy !!

Hi...I have visited Staples showroom in Indira Nagar, Bangalore....they have an offer on Acer 5755 (i3) machine...they r giving All in One Printer or external HDD for free with this. As I remember prices is around 30k. You can check out because u want to buy printer and HDD. May be you can check with Mumbai Staples.

Should be decent but wait for mumbai members to confirm.

As you have mentioned the track pad gets some time to get used to in the HP DM1. Also the screen is a bit too small for movies IMO.

Not much idea about the build of Samsung laptop since there are not much reviews in reputed sites. Samsung is a new entrant in the laptop segment and is a novice. Their netbooks were pretty solid and were a hit due to low pricing.
 
Guys please please temme if this model is decent enough...I am getting a good deal from a friend on this one !!

Asus 1215B with AMD Fusion in Action - YouTube

It is the ASUS EEE PC 1215B with AMD E350 proccy !!

Update: It has USB 3.0 and is priced around 23500 rs. Please give me an honest reply...I am ruling out heavy lappies since portability is a major need !!
 
Yeah...thats the older one...The newer ones as shown in the youtube link i shared before has the E350 platform...Should i consider it over the DM1Z ??
