ASUS GL703VM-NH74 17.3" Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop -- ONLY @ NEWEGG - Newegg.com
No laptop in India will be good enough for your budget (all have 940MX/1050 non-ti).
G
Thanks for your prompt response. I could fluctuate my budget a little. Also 940MX/1050 seems Okay for my need. Please suggest some models which are available in India.
Gaming laptops in India are highly overpriced cost above 1Lacs.
U can ask for a quotation from Azom (who are the customized gaming laptop providers in Kolkata)
If a 940MX/1050 is okay, don't spend more than 40-45k at max.
G
I will definitely contact them.
G
Fine by me. Saves me a lot of money. But please suggest some model which support PCIE NVME SSD.
That's where it kinda gets weird. Laptops with 1050 are priced above 70k on most sites (unless you are looking to import one).
G
As I have mentioned earlier I can go for 70-80k the only important aspect for me is that it supports PCIE NVME SSD. All other aspects (Processor, GPU, RAM, etc.) are not important. For some reasons I need a laptop that supports PCIE NVME M.2 2280 SSD
Nah, there are actually 2 laptops with 1050ti's priced at 75k and 78k ( you can get a 10k discount with an exchange for the lenovo one)

They both seems good. Do they support PCIe NVMe SSD or the SATA ?
If u are going for portability then go ahead with a gaming Laptop. otherwise I would suggest to build a desktop in the same price (which will be far superior).
Gaming laptops have shorter lifespan than desktops and once it develops any problem in OOW period then user will be doomed with high price of repair/replacement.

Why a PCIe SSD? I don't think for any general usage, you won't see a difference between a good SATA SSD & PCIe ones.
Anyways, the Lenovo & Acer are good options available in India.
Also if there is any offer for an extended warranty for a discounted price, get it !!

Sorry for late reply. I had to rush out of station.
Does ASUS ROF-GL552VX Supports PCIe ?

There is a sweet deal going on in current flipkart sale. Check it out.
G
GL552VX is limited to 950M and 6700HQ
Why are you even considering it?
Because it seems to support PCIe NVME SSD.
W
If you don't mind me asking,what exactly are you going to run that you absolutely need a few seconds improvement of NVME SSD over sata ssd.
So does every other new laptop with m.2 slot.
Seriously get this before sale ends

GTX 1060 + i7 is a steal at 80k considering Indian laptop market. It supports PCIe SSD too
But it is non- IPS Display.
MSI has good TN displays. Most high-end gaming laptops with higher refresh rate have TN displays. Why do you think no one complains? Because it is possible to make good quality TNs. As Indian economy is weak, to cut costs many companies use low-quality TN displays, which are cheaper compared to other options. That's one of the main reason why TNs have a bad reputation.
Still, even if it had an average display, I'd have still bought it considering you can never expect laptops with such config at such price except for such sales, which are very rare & there's no certainty of having it again in future.
Also, its possible to have low-quality IPS display, my laptop has one. My previous laptop's color reproduction seemed better to me when I made the switch & that had a good TN display.

I have purchased Asus GL552VX and also purchase Samsung Samsung 250 GB PCIE 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD but it doesn't seems to be supported. Also in BIOS the only setting under SATA Configuration is AHCI (Latest BIOS Upgraded). I am attaching my HwInfo report with this post.
G
I did and I know its a mistake but nothing can be done now to change it.
Why would anybody buy a 1.5 year old laptop that too with 950m now?
Now can you please provide a solution to my problem.
Have you tried updating BIOS? If that doesn't detects your SSD, I don't think anything else would.
G
As per ASUS's website I seem to have latest BIOS. Can you suggest some other website from where can I upgrade my BIOS ?
W
^^he is already using the latest bios(post#27).
@Gaurav Saxena try connecting only nvme drive after disconnecting hdd as well as dvd drive.See the below post for a possible solution(though it is for desktop mobo,it may work for laptops too):
Samsung 960 evo not detected in bios - [Solved] - Storage
P.S.you seem to be making mistakes quite often,why would you want to update bios from an unofficial source & risk bricking your laptop.

You want to brick your currently functional laptop by flashing some unknown third party BIOS?
That link states
Laptops don't have multiple SATA ports unless its a top of line model.
G
I aint like that I want to damage my laptop. I am just asking suggestion.
W
@SaiyanGoku maybe the sata port for dvd drive may cause some issues(it is also after all a sata port on mobo too).
@Gaurav Saxena you were asking for suggestion before when you were asking for which laptop model to buy(which you ignored btw). What you are asking now(regarding bios) is not suggestion but checking your own idea.

@whitestar_999 I bought this laptop under some lucrative scheme (Almost 50% off). However I do now feel that I chosed poorly. But nothing can be done now. Regading the BIOS I am only asking as I had been trying everywhere to get my SSD working.
You could return it stating that your new nvme drive doesn't work with it and buy a new laptop which actually supports nvme drives (and has better hardware).
G
@SaiyanGoku It is not an option as I was told previously about the no return policy. Also I tried to return the SSD to E-Bay but they are also not accepting, stating that it is under warranty. Is there a way I can swap the SSD for some other product.
Sell it & buy a SATA SSD. You don't require a NVMe SSD, SATA SSD is fast enough for almost everything. For gaming you will see 0 performance improvement between SSD & HDD in case you don't know (just load times would be better).
Try selling it off locally.
He could've went with suggested laptops instead of fixating on that much old laptop with 950m
Also, OP never stated why he wanted nvme support. He can't saturate nvme speed unless he's editing at 4k.
