  • What's your Budget? 35 +- 2k
  • What will be your primary usage for the notebook be? Solidworks
  • What size and weight considerations do you have? Minimum of 14" would be good enough I guess
  • Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest? Nope
  • Any other considerations? Battery life and A.S.S are really really imp
  • Location - Delhi
  • Would most probably buy through EMI so no local store (right ?)
  • Need GPU (atleast 7650) and an SSD (128gb)

Checkout Dell Precision laptops if you have accessibility to those. Got colleagues who use these for solid works and CAD. Even had a chance to use for a day or 2. Excellent. build qlty is also top notch.

Thanks for the reply. Will soon check it out

How good is their A.S.S ? Is it as good as in case of monitors ?

You'll not get any laptop within 30-35k that can smoothly run solidworks. You need a quadro/fire pro gpu which doesn't come in consumer laptops.

Well I have been using Solidworks just for a month now and I don't think I would need a workstation GPU. Right ?

Forget workstation notebooks like Dell Precision/HP Elitebook/Lenovo Thinkpad. They cost 1 lakh+.
You are asking for a lot and a laptop in your budget is not capable of handling rendering.
A desktop is a much better option.
If you need mobility though then I would suggest this:

Get SSD later from www.onlyssd.com

If that laptop has a msata SSD slot free(which you have to research) then you can order Plextor M5M 128 GB msata SSD for 8k later.
