Hi Vinay,

Thanks for the suggestion. I would like to choose Intel based processors. My major concern in hp is its heating problem, lack of sound & customer support. Also as it is 17'' inch I doubt whether this model (17-e054ca) can give back up for atleast 3 -4 hr or not.

Also I have option for this model (15-n034) as well

Please advice.

Yes, 17 inches will consume more power. The other model you suggested is good. You will get better battery life with the U-series processors. But, they're not very powerful.

Lenovo also has some good offerings, if you're interested. I think there's limited period sale on lenovo website.

Lenovo Essential G510 (3rd model with i5 4200M or 4th model with i7 4700MQ)
http/shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g510/

Lenovo IdeaPad Z510 (1st model with i5 4200M or 2nd model with i7 4700MQ)
http/shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/ideapad/z-series/z510/

All of them are good value for money, especially the ones with i7 processors, I don't think you'll get the lower than you're getting here.
