I have a few specific requirements(i can live without them)-
The trackpad and the mouse buttons preferably shouldn't be unified.
The KB shouldn't have extra keys in locations that make it difficult to type(like left of kb).
The weight should preferably be <2.5kg.
3 years warranty.

consider these

HP Pavilion DV6 Series DV6-6121TX

Lenovo Ideapad Y Series Y570

HP DV6 6140TX @ 48k or 6121TX @ 52k.

1 year warranty.

Anything better? My father is willing to spend till 60k for a future proof laptop.

They've got the best specs.
i7 2630QM
4GB DDR3
HD6770M 1GB(6140TX)/2GB(6121TX) GDDR5

You can get a customized Dell.
i7 2630QM
4GB
GT540M (6770M is 40% faster)
1080p screen (Much better)

But the customized Dell would be like 30% costlier, you forgot to mention that.

Yeah, it would reach 68-70k.

I guess you guys did not read his last requirement - 3 years warranty.
That rules out the HP.

he said he can live without it

I'm finally considering two laptops, either the HP DV6 6121tx or the MBP 15" (higher end). The MBP is very expensive @ 125k but i might be able to convince my dad to spend 100k. Since my sister studies in college, we should get a college discount. Anyone here has any experience on how the college discount works? If yes then please post about it.

@DK

checkout alienware 14x n 17x

asus-lamborgini gamers republic (i dont remember the model)

the alienware will be costly and he wants it for his dad so i guess alienware doesnt suits the scenario...
