Hi guys! First let me fill the questionnaire. So here it is..

1) What is your budget?
Up to INR 50,000

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen (UpTo or around 2.5kg)

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Playing Dota 2 (8-10 hrs a day)
Web/video processing (4-5 hrs a day)
Web/downloading (3-4 hrs a day)
// Turned off for mostly 4-5 hrs a day //

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
CPU : i5 6th generation.
GPU : GEFORCE 930M or AMD R5 430 (If it'll cost less) for same price or little variance I'd prefer geforce.
RAM : 8GB (or if we find cheaper with 4gb I can add 4gb ram myself /provided slot is there and it doesn't void warranty)

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: HP, ASUS, LENOVO
b. Dislike: Acer, Sony


6) Anything else you would like to say?
Screen resolution (1080p (Full HD) ) // A must have //
Battery back up ( at least normal (3-4hrs) )
Atleast 2 3.0 USB ports or 3.1 if there.
Notification light panel if available (not mandatory)

I guess I've mentioned the most I could. I've to buy one tomorrow only or a day after that. So kindly suggest me accordingly.

2 Laptops I've currently shortlisted are: (open to suggestions)
1. Asus R558UR (i5 6th gen. 4gb DDR4. 2GB 930MX, DOS) - Around 41k
2. Hp 15 - AY503TX (I5 6th gen. 8gb DDR4. 2GB AMD R5 430. Dos) - around 43k

I'd suggest you go with Asus R558ur, but do keep in mind that Asus does not have a good service everywhere.. So do check out the service of Asus in ur area before u buy, After sales service in my >10 years of experience has been best with Dell and Hp, with Dell even more so

Thanks for your suggestion. I guess there won't be servicing problem in Delhi. But anyway, if you can please suggest Dell/hp laptop you think i should go for. Since my biggest is 6k more than what I'd have to pay for Asus.
Thanks
