Dell Inspiron 14R with IVB processor costs 40k, you can avail some discount like corporate or govt employee discount.

Apart from that you can have a look at this thinlpad as well

I guess there are lot of threads here which say that Dell has bad ASS or it has bad battery backup or overheating issues..

By the way is it available in flipkart or any of the online shopping sites so
that I can have a look at its spec
Also how to identify whether the processor is IVB or i5/i3

Dell ASS is ok, they provide onsite warranty.Well even I am having some bad experience but still it is much better than others.
And there are no as such heating issues also. And the battery problem is there in almost every laptop of every other company.
