^Samsung S24D390H. It is cheap and good results.
AoA brothers,

I am in need of a laptop, I havea budget of 65k.
In this budget the best option to me is HP Envy Touchsmart M6 .... it has a 1080p screen and backlit keyboard, which to me matters a lot.
I wanted to ask is that, is there any better option then this laptop? and it is refurbished, would this bother me later on?
It totally depends for what purpose you are buying it. At that price it is a good choice.

Spend money to get extra processing power and bump up the ram and ssd, human eye can't even differentiate between 3mp and 5mp , it's useless to spend extra 100-150$ for a 1080p display.
btw I have i7 touchsmart with 4700mq,12gigs,1tb+ssd+dedicated gpu+touch

I am talking about this model, it costs 58k and in this range this is the best. Rest it lacks a dedicated GPU.
rest how much did you got your laptop for? and refurbished kharaab tu nahi hota? lastly which laptop do you prefer then?

HP Envy 15-N012DX
(TOUCH SCREEN) Core i5 4200M-2.5GHZ 8GB RAM 750GB HDDFull HD 15.6" LED Win 8 ColorIntel HD GRAPHIC-BT

my advice would be to never get a refurbished laptop , go for new even if you have to pay 15-20k extra

hi,
need help in choosing a good new laptop. my budget range is Rs. 65000/- for intel i5 haswell processor. now i am confuse here since i would prefer to have backlight keyboard, longer battery life n touchscreen if possible. the others spec can be upgrade in future if needed.
i will be using as med gaming laptop. meaning gaming now n then, with my regular works.
as i am considering not to buy a desktop at a moment, i will hook it up with my monitor, tv, stream it, n basically do everything with it.

i have seen lenovo which have some good spec like g5070 (which also have i7 in my range) but few reviews i read wasnt good enough. As if you can suggest laptop with review sites it will helps me. as the laptop will be for next 3 years min. and prefer colour ones too.
the screen size prefer is 14 or 15. as i will traveling with it too.
