Hi,
I've been mostly with laptops and AiOs till date, all failed prematurely (actually, soon after the warranty period). Environmental conditions in my area (highly corrosive air; as I live right next to a creek) lead to internals being damaged faster than expected.
Have decided to not waste a lot of money any more, would prefer to go for lower costing assembled desktops in the range of INR. 20 ~ 25 thousand.
I solicit suggestions and recommendations for a good hardware configuration.
Line of work is mostly Web software (primarily JavaScript), using multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome) and SublimeText.
Prefer to use Ubuntu (latest available).
Thanks,
~Mayuresh
Laptops found with best value for money:
Option 1:
http://www.flipkart.com/hp-15-r250tu-notebook-pentium-quad-core-4gb-500gb-do...
Option 2:
http://www.flipkart.com/hp-compaq-15-s008tu-notebook-4th-gen-ci3-4gb-500gb-f...
Both are with 4GB RAM & 500GB HDD &same display size
2nd has slightly better processor, so is more expensive,
Both will need OS to be installed by user.
But 1st has best value.

For this kind of budget, you should be able to get a nice config in the AMD Quad core CPU line, Gigabyte motherboard, 8GB RAM, 500GB.

I hesitate to give any model numbers since they keep changing every 6 months or so. Browse through flipkart/snapdeal offerings to get an idea of the price. I have noticed that vendor pricing in Lam. Rd. match is close to their online cousins.

Quad core AMD + 8GB RAM should be sufficient to handle the above.
