new laptop in range 30k to 35k

what range??

not a single laptop will be 30-35k USD.

can you convert to usd or tell me what currency you are using?

I custom build and design laptops
 
Hello, m from India too :-)

If you add another 10k to that, I would suggest go for the
HP Envy UltraBook (core i3, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD) (About Rs.45k)
Cons:-
1> No Optical drive
2> No user-replaceable battery
3> No dedicated GPU
4> Windows 7 home basic, I hate home basic, the minimum should be home premium.

Pros:-
1>Extraordinarily beautiful and sleek design
2>Metal body
3>Bright vivid LCD
4>Great battery life.
5>2+1 (3 years) on-site Next Business Day warranty service all over India.

If you want to stick to your budget, here's what I suggest:-

1>Samsung 300E4Z (i3, 640GB, 4GB) (About Rs.30k)
Cons:-
1> No windows. Comes with "free DOS". But you get a DVD with all the windows drivers. You'll need to purchase windows 7 yourself
(even if the computer store insists, I don't recommend pirated software, you lose the ability to get routine windows updates, and risk ending up in jail as it's illegal)
Windows 7 ultimate costs about Rs. 11k in India.

2> Plastic body, feels cheap to hold

3> Charger cable too thin, and prone to prematurely fail.

4> No on-site warranty, If something goes wrong, you'll have to drop it to a service center and wait for at least 7 days before you get it back.

5> Glossy screen prone to reflection

6>No dedicated graphics accelerator.

Pros:-
1>Great value for money (will cost about 30k, but if you need windows, that will add up at least another 6k. If all you need is a system to browse internet, chat, email, music and movie playback, I would suggest using OpenSUSE instead. It's free and it's pretty good)

2>Very wide viewing angle, screen images don't look distorted even if you are seeing it from the side.

3>Good battery life

4>There's an option in it's BIOS to run it in "preserve battery" mode. If you enable it, the system will stop charging the battery when it reaches 70%, and Samsung claims this would dramatically improve battery lifespan on the long run.

5>640GB hard drive

Next, would be the Sony Viao E series
i3, 2GB RAM, 500GB

Cons:-
1> I've seen loads of these with dead keyboards. Sony hasn't recognized this as a design flaw, but there's something seriously wrong with Sony's QA these days

2> Windows 7 home basic. I don't recommend anything less than home premium

3> 2 GB RAM

4> No dedicated graphics accelerator.

5> Prone to heating up

6>No on site warranty. If something goes wrong, you'll have to drop it to a service center and wait for at least 7 days before you get it back.

Pros:-
1> Looks extraordinarily sexy

2> Averagely good battery life

3> Good sound quality from internal speakers

4> The "It's a Sony" wow factor.

I would recommend either a Dell or Sony just from my experience, my average Dell last with no problems about 4 to 5 years and currently have a Vaio EB series and is going on two years old and still running great.

The one thing I will give sony is there battery quality, they may not have the longest battery but were as I read about people on here suffering from there battery not holding a charge anymore after a year or so I am going on two and I am sure it has declined a little but not noticeable.
