Need to buy a laptop in about 40K - 50K

[aneek]

Hi all,

Recently my newly upgraded pc got brunt down. So I decided to buy a new laptop. My range would be in 50K.

Can you tell me which laptop I should go for. I'm thinking about HP and Dell.
But there is something that bothers me. My friend got a new HP DV series laptop that doesn't recognize the modem.

I'm a web developer so I need to install Adobe CS4 maybe CS5 later also sometime I love to play games but not to often. The games I used to play is FIFA 10, Farcry 2 types of graphics.

As a php developer I love to be in Open Source. All the laptops will come with Windows 7 Preloaded. Can I have one laptop with no Os in it so that I can Install Ubuntu in it.

Please give me your suggestions as soon as possible....
