2.GPU 256MB or more
3.HDD 250GB or more
4.Screen size 13.3 or 14.1 not more.
5.Price < 70K

Brand :HP,Dell or Sony

Suggest suitable laptop with availability in market and its number

HP DV1120 - ~ 70K

HP DV5 1015 - P7350/ 512MB GPU/ 250GB ~ 60K

Sony Vaio CS 17 - P8400/ 250GB ~ 57K

Dell XPS 1330 with the WLED screen. Period.

+1 for the DV5-1015TX - 64K

[EDIT]Didn't see the 14.1" restriction. So guess this is out.

Wouldn't recommend any lappy with the Nvidia 8400M or 8600M GPU (because of the high failure rates with these).[/EDIT]

You mean they have changed the soldering component etc.? (IIRC there issue was due to something with that).
Is there any way we can tell if we have got a fixed GPU or an older one?

Yes, thats pretty much it. Since its not a silicon change, AFAIK, there no GPU model number change tho. However, all parts have pretty much been recalled from vendors. Simple reason: the vendors like Dell, HP charge Nvidia with cost of replacement AND warranty as well including all charges they incur on service/manpower etc etc. So in their best interest to recall asap n thats been done.
