I found
Asus r558uq dm513d
It fits my budget and all specs look good and new. But problem is with brand.

Asus R558UQ DM513D is good overall what I wanted. But only problem with DOS. (Brother said "no" to DOS)
I suggested this laptop to bro, but he wants OS (Windows) also in that budget. He isn't comfortable with installing any pirated or free OS.

That is why he wants more suggestion.

Intel 6th gen/7th gen CPU, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM (or 4GB not soldered or replaceable), 940mx, Windows 10, IPS and FHD matte screen.
Please mention proper link and with model no.

Thank you.
