Laptop - Rs.50k

[Akshay]

I am looking for a new laptop within a range of Rs.45K to 50K. Min. requirements are a centrino processor, atleast 30GB HDD, atleast 256 MB RAM, combo drive,bluetooth. Features like spill resistant, security lock, etc. are criteria. Any brand will do. One more query is that if I install OS other than the one that the company ships, will it affect my warranty?
