Sony Vaio recommended. Better build quality and can be assured of atleast 2 yrs usage even with running 24x7

Also checkout this laptop : Flipkart.com: Toshiba Satellite C Series C640-X4010: Computer

Price : 30.3k

it has pretty good config better than the laptops that you have mentioned above...

30k laptop and it lacks a HDMI port and has just 2 USB 2.0 ports :no: Laptops at this range are sporting USB 3.0 these days.

Toshibha's connectivity is good enough for the C660-P5012 which sells < 20k. But a big phail at this price point.

The HP probook being sold on ebay is most probably an imported piece, so warranty will not be valid here.

^Listing clearly states manufacturer warranty. But a valid point given the low pricing.

Wingy confirm with the seller that its not a imported piece and he does provide a proper VAT paid bill.

found several listings which states international warranty or standard warranty. Even the listing in OP states manufacturer warranty.
