I use lenovo now. Dell service center is not available everywhere for example North eastern India no Dell support. you have to come to kolkata for servicing. That was the situation few years ago, not sure what's the situation now. So i stopped Dell. HP and Lenovo has service center almost everywhere.
But you can Choose whatever brand you like as they are the best. No gaming means no high-end graphics required. Just don't buy AMD processor. Buy intel core i5 4th generation processor or higher. Minimum RAM 4GB. At 35 K i think u will be able to get a decent NVidia/Radeon graphics as well .
Make sure you get atleast 1(more than 1 better) usb 3.0.
If you plan to use Linux as you said for educational purpose then buy DOS laptop only as they are cheaper by atleast ₹3000 from their windows counterpart.
