I have been using a Samsung PDC Laptop for the past 4 years and has served me very well. Recently, it has started randomly rebooting and the prices quoted for repair are upwards of 6k. So, I am on the lookout for a new Laptop, with similar or better configuration. I had purchased a Lenovo G50-45 (AMD) for my sister last year, but I found the build quality not even half of what the Samsung offered (IMHO). Looking for a laptop for less than 30k, which I think should provide decent enough configuration for my usage. I also have a Win7 original Key with me. So, I would prefer laptops without OS, or a free OS.
