@Alok: I wrote “…weight and screen resolution are what push the price of a laptop up. They are also what will make the biggest difference to your laptop experience.”

In a B-school and during summers, you carry your laptop around a lot (which is why weight is important), and deal with tons of data (hence screen resolution). This is what you are paying for.

There is very little difference between parameters like Hard disk capacity and RAM between mid-range and high-end laptops. My point is that these things don’t matter as much as we think they do.

Therefore, even if you use a laptop only for Office, music and browsing, a lightweight laptop with a high-res screen will mean a much more comfortable two years, which is why 15-20K extra is worth it.

You have mentioned that the lappy will be used mainly for running microsoft office, watching movies, music and games.
Except for the gaming part, there is no need for a high end laptop costing 75K+. Even a 30-40K laptop will suffice for everything except high end gaming experience.

Nice post. I have a decent lappy, but I have been going green over the mean configs being discussed for the bulk deal.
