Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a dual core laptop with a good processor [not anything inferior like Celeron or anything slow.] my desktop processor is an AMD dual core 270 processor with 2 MB cache and 3.4 GZ speed. I don’t want anything much slower than that.

I found this:
Lenovo Essentail G505 (59-379528) Laptop (APU Quad Core A4/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS) Rs.24995 Price in India - Buy Lenovo Essentail G505 (59-379528) Laptop (APU Quad Core A4/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS) Black Online - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

but it says:
Processor APU Quad Core A4
Variant A4-5000
Brand AMD
Clock Speed 1.5 GHz
I'm puzzled. Despite it being a quad core, the Clock Speed is only 1.5 GHz. I thought a quad core would be faster?

I need the lappy only for word processing and the internet, not gaming or editing. but Clock Speed of 1.5 GHz still sounds very slow to me. Shouldn’t it be at least 2.2 GHz or more?
Can you please recommend me something within Rs 25,000 from some good reliable store such as flipkart, snapdeal, junglee.com. Which would you say is the most reliable?

I would like a brand like Lenovo which is reputed to be strong. I have read reviews that say Dell is too flimsy.
However any brand that is good will also do. Asus is supposed to be cheaper. If Asus is as good quality and strong as Lenovo, it would be fine.

I don’t want a brand like Acer which is reputed to be cheap because of lower quality.
So which lappy would you recommend? I've been hunting through these stores and am just confused since I don’t have any experience at all with lappys and this will be my first lappy.

I know theres some debate about whether Intel or AMD is faster…I just want something fast that isn’t too expensive.

Thanks in advance.
 
That HP deal looks good if it is still at the same price. As for the build quality and component quality, that would vary from one model to another. And if you are very unlucky, you are going to face problems with any product bought from any manufacturer. In this price segments, there are some compromises wrt build quality etc.
I have zero experience with a cooling pad. Laptops today are quite cool by nature. I mean Haswell is known to be super power efficient which means it runs pretty cool too. So only think about investing on a chillpad if you find your laptop getting hot after prolonged usage.
