Hello friends,

I have currently need of lappy with powerful enough for games in low budget .. specially GTA 5 at good framerate

1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
INR 35K (but can stretch upto 40K)

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Casual office related stuff and then gaming.. specially GTA 5 with good framerate

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
Nothing special but need best possible graphics in this budget and 8GB RAM (atleats)

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: NONE
b. Dislike: NONE
as long as aftersale service is good

6) Anything else you would like to say?

Purchasing from Nehru Place - Delhi

Very difficult budget.. stretch 2k more so that you can get Acer-E5-575-15-6-inch-i5-7200-Graphics.

Forget about a laptop, even assembled desktops at this budget can't run GTA 5 at good framerates (60fps average) and settings at 1080p. The cheapest laptop with a 1050ti will cost you above 800$ (50k INR) even if you got it from USA.

apart from what above members have already said ..

this is not related to games but..
don't buy any laptop now .. wait for Ryzen APU laptops and 8th gen intel ones .. 8th gen is bringing big boost in multithread performance as cores are getting doubled 4core/8thread instead of 2cores/4thread now in U series .. .. no point in going for 7th gen now unless you absolutely can't wait for 2 months
