hey I'm looking for a lappy under the 35k price mark for my parents for basic tasks like email web browsing and mainly typing with a touch screen which one will you recommend
I have found a lenevo one
flex 2 14 with a amd a6 it is a good laptop but I'm a bit skeptical about its performance I want is good key board about 3 hour battery life and longivit ( should last about 4 years)
 
I've somewhat similar requirements (- the touch screen), so posting it in this thread. My requirements are as follows:

Usage pattern/ requirements:
  • Using it for studies that should include: MS Office(Prezi, etc..), Acrobat Reader, and other similar software.
  • It will be used for >~ 4hrs daily.
  • Very less gaming max. 2-3 hrs/week.
  • Extensive use of battery backup.
  • Laptop should last at least 2.5 years without any issue.
  • It should be sturdy as reliability is my main concern.
  • It should have a somewhat decent screen.
  • It should have a decent battery life (>~3hrs).
  • Warranty extension should be possible. Accidental warranty will be a plus.
My max budget is 35-37K with extended warranty.

The estimated configuration I will need is:
  • CPU: Core i3 4th or 5th gen
  • HDD: 500GB (the more the better)
  • Screen: 14'' (want a little compact laptop weighing < 2.5KG max.)
  • Battery: 3hrs minimum (4cell / 6 cell cant say as the new generation of Li-Ion cells perform better)
  • USB Ports: at least 3 (USB 3.0 if possible)
  • Display ports: VGA (HDMI will be good too)

Considering my requirements, I've shortlisted the following models:
HP ProBook 440 G2 (J8T90PT) Laptop (4th Gen Intel Core i3- 4 GB RAM- 500 GB HDD- 35.56cm (14)- DOS) (Black)
33K after discount

Dell Latitude 3540 Laptop (4th Gen Intel Core i3 4005U - 4GB RAM- 500GB HDD- 39.62cm (15.6)- Ubuntu) (Grey)
28.5K after discount

Dell Latitude V3440 i3 4010U 4GB RAM 500GB HDD 14-inch
29.2K

Dell Vostro 3446 14-inch i3 4005U 4GB 500GB GT 820M 2GB
26.2K after discount

Please help me in reviewing the list and selecting a model.

Decided not to go for:
Lenovo: B and G series have bad build quality and have some serious design issues. I can spend on a Thinkpad if it can serve my requirements/purpose without being too overly costly.
Asus: Outdated CPUs and heavy.
HP: Non-ProBook models have overheating issues and bad build.
Acer: Worst build and screen quality.
Compaq: really bad reliability.
Dell Inspiron: Heavy
Toshiba: All outdated models.
Fujitsu: Absent from the market.
