Please, please, please, suggest me a new laptop (in India)

[TECH_MANAGER]

Hi All,

I am going to buy a new laptop by Dec end. My purpose is mainly using Microsoft office and internet browsing with a good battery life.

The essentials are-

1. Processor - intel centrino 2 - P series- P7350/P8400 etc.
3-4GB ram, atleast 160Gb hard disk

2. Vista business/Vista ultimate preinstalled.

3. Matte screen (non glossy) ( I dont need a glossy or a true life (dell) screen)
14'' display ( 15'' will be heavy, 13'' will be small)

4. Intel Integrated graphics preferably 4500 MHD.
I do not need a discreet graphics card.

5. preferably a 9 cell battery but a 6 cell will also do.

6. 3 yrs warranty but a 1 yr will do as well.

Budget < 50 k.

in one month prices will dip, I may delay it till Jan mid to take the price advantage.
so u can suggest a laptop upto 60k.

thanks a lot

please suggest.

thanks

Then y r u buying with such a high end config, if u will be only using it for ms office & surfing.

If u'll be gaming then go for that, otherwise y buy?
