HP PAVILION x360 (Rs 39,990)
This convertible hybrid laptop lets you flip its screen around in a 360 degree angle, making it usable in four modes.

Or, it can be used in the 'tent' mode where the screen, while facing outwards, is placed in an inverted V shape along with the keyboard, to play games. It can also be used as a tablet — detached from its keyboard and used only with the touch screen. The x360 comes with a Pentium Series Intel Bay Trail Processor, 500 GB Hard Disk, 4 GB RAM and a 1,366 x 768 display.
