    Well, it seems you have only half a mind to get a laptop. Anyway follow the steps:

    1. Define your budget. Now-a-days laptops of varius companies are available in the price band of Rs.30K to 150K. So, choose your band best suiting your pocket.

    2. Define your requirement in terms of physical properties like screen size, weight, batterry life (depends on how much you'd like to use it while moving), additional items you are required to attach with it (may be your cell phone, camera, etc.).

    3. Define your system requirement. The work requirements are not specified very clearly. Depending on the type of documents/applications you use alongwith the networking requirements (i.e. at office if you require it to be connected with the local network), the processor type, speed & RAM requirements are fixed up.

    4. Finally with these data, visit the websites of Dell, Lenovo & HP. There you'd find the laptops suiting your specifications and your budget. Finally you choos between the availables.

    Hope that's useful.
