I'm looking for a dual core laptop with a good processor [not anything inferior like Celeron or anything slow.]anywhere between Rs 15,000 to 22,000. I was going to go for some better configuration but someone pointed out since I need it only for internet and word processing, I don’t need the best.
I hesitate to buy from any online store other than Amazon. I read in another thread that Amazon honors warranty even if the manufacturer doesn’t.
does anyone know of any good offers available?
I searched a lot and found these deals on Amazon:
Amazon.in: Buy ASUS X551MA-SX101D without Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India | Asus Reviews & Ratings
Amazon.in: Buy Lenovo G50-30-80G0000KIN 15.6-inch Laptop (Black) with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India | Lenovo Reviews & Ratings
the above are quad cores. some reviews said despite the 2.16 GZ, the processor was slow. I guess because its 1st generation, so I guess that explains the slowness and the low price.
but do you think it will be fast enough for my purposes?
Then there are dual cores like:

they are 1.8GHz, which is less Gz than the quad cores. However I've been told that the GZ doesn’t count any more.
A dealer told me dual core is higher than quad core. He said it goes like this:
quad core is slightly superior to Celeron
higher than quad core is dual core G2030
I assumed by the name that quad core would be superior to
dual core. So I was wrong? I should choose dual core instead?
I also found this :
Amazon.in: Buy ASUS X551CA-SX021D 15.6-inch Laptop (Black) with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India | Asus Reviews & Ratings
it has a 1.5GHz Intel Celeron Dual Core (3rd Generation) processor.
Though I don’t want a Celeron since I read it has a lower MB cache, which makes it slower, do you think it would be faster than the 1st gen dual and quad cores?
Someone told me that I won't really notice much difference in speed no matter what the configuration since I only want it for basic work, but My tech told me Celeron would aslo be a bit slower on the net.
Thanks for any advice. I hope to settle this soon.
Basically I'm looking to choose the best deal from among the urls I posted above, unless someone finds any better offer. I hope to find within this budget the fastest, most reliable machine least likely to cause me any trouble. I note some machines like one of the Asus said onsite warranty. Do they really honor that?
