He needs a laptop. Requirements are a 15 inch screen, core i5 (any gen works), 1tb hdd and 4gb ram. Decent battery life wouldn't hurt either, but is not mandatory. So what are the options? Max budget is 30k. Will be used for watching movies, browsing the net, torrenting and for slight use of photoshop and illustrator. He doesn't mind 2nd hand/refurbished laptops either as long as they have no issues and are fresh...
