As I'm not a gadget freak, that's why after being a IT professional from last 5 years I never owned any Laptop before ( yes I have PC but not using it since last 3 years) so its my first laptop so I'm writing about my decision and choice in next few lines. My preferences are Intel Core i5 processer and 14" screen only, after gone through the list of laptops I narrowed down to MSI, Toshiba and HP brands as they are in budget. About MSI, its known and good brand even though the reviews were not great but superb looks and pricing for MSI CR640 attracted me but failed to secure the deal as it got expired on the ebay.in. After this decided to visit the local market and impressed by HP and Toshiba. HP 430 and Toshiba Satellite C640-X4012 are in same price bracket but from configuration point of view HP 630 is little low.
Finally made up my mind and made a purchase with Toshiba.Toshiba Satellite C640-X4012 comes with Inter Corei5 2nd Generation Processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD (5400 RPM SATA), LED Backlight CSV display, nice keyboard layout with glossy keys with various option using the function key and comes with 1 year international warranty that can be extended to 3 years (with a price tag). It comes with very plain looks but I prefer performance. After two days of normal usage it impressed me with its looks and performance and Battery back-up of 3 hours approx. Till now my decision is doing good. For those who is looking for the same I advice them to have a look it once in near by store as looks are plain and depends person to person.
