Acer 5740G(with ATI 5760 1GB) has been replaced by nVidia GT300 series which is a lot weaker compared to ATI5670 compare them here.
The best option for you would be to go with Acer 4820TG as mentioned above and upgrade its warranty to 3yrs, the new acer timelineX series looks good,is thin and light. It has an option to switch the graphics to Intel HD giving you more battery life, I think this switchable graphics feature ROCKS!!! and its something similar to Apple's switchable graphics & nVidia's optimus.
Core i5 430M(Turbo Boost upto 2.93Ghz!!) beats i3-350m too check this.

^^ nvidia's optimus and ATI's switchable graphics are not the same. Optimus is automated and turns off/on based on application whitelists while ATi's implementation is completely manual. The other difference is that in optimus (or I think even in the manual switching of nvidia's gfx to inbuilt gfx) there is no user perceivable thing but in case of ATi, there is a momentary black screen.
That said, I've also been looking towards the Acer timelinex series (along with the Asus' new bamboo series). Acer seems to be a bit week in build quality department, especially the lid is said to be flimsy and breaking-prone. Also, the screen itself is said to be quite lack-luster. But otherwise I'm digging it...
Any ideas about Acer's customer support in India? and what about Asus?

Hello RS4RS4 said:You can go for Sony vaio EB26 or Lenovo Y560.
1.sony vaio EB26: You get i3-350m@2.26GHz CPU ,1GB ATI 5650 graphics card:cool2:,4gb ram, 500 gb hard disk and the most important thing a FULL HD 1080p screenhyeah:
Also it looks awesome and comes in a sleek,slim body when compared to other 15inch laptops.
its MRP is 52k but you can easily get it for 50k along with a free Targus laptop bag at the vaio flagship stores.Here are the relevant links:

2.Lenovo Y560:You get i3-350m@2.26Ghz CPU,1GB ATi 5730 graphics card
Here is the link, check out the last one at the bottom:
Lenovo - Laptop computers - IdeaPad - Y Series - Laptops - Overview -
Both the laptops have some advantages over the other like the vaio has an awesome 1080p screen and better looks wheras Lenovo has 720p screen and a more powerful graphics card and it also comes at a lower price.Your choice
Yours was really good advice. I dont know about the OP but i am really satisfied having purchased this after your heads up.
Was really confused before.

If you decide to go for Vaio then I'll suggest you check Staples .. They are giving a good deal on 3 years warranty last I checked ..
