768p screen should be enough for playing games on med-high settings on 950M . 1080p might cause some games to lag on high settings.

1080p screen is worth it, even if it lags for gaming, he can still enjoy 1080p movies and more space = more productivity\

Remember that the laptop has "seller" warranty, not manufacturer's warranty

Yeah 1080p display is an absolute delight in my laptop(Y500) while browsing internet, even though I cannot play new games on 1080p(FIFA 15 runs at 1080p ultra though). Still I wont recommend changing screen after buying a laptop

Seller warranty of that ASUS is a problem

How about this one?
*paytm.com/shop/p/asus-r510jx-dm230t-90nb08xj-m03330-core-i7-4th-gen-4-gb-1-tb-39-62-cm-15-6-windows-10-2-gb-black-red-LAPASUS-R510JX-LAPT946664B636F4?psearch=organic%7Cundefined%7Casus%20r510jx%7Cgrid

It has 1080p screen + i7 + GTX950M + manufacturer warranty
After cashback, effective price is 55k (Also seller rating is good)

If your friend wants i5 only, then check this one
HP Pavilion 15-ab029TX Notebook (5th Gen Intel Core i5- 4GB RAM- 1 TB HDD- 39.62 cm (15.6)- Windows 8.1-2 GB Graphics) (Silver) - Buy HP Pavilion 15-ab029TX Notebook (5th Gen Intel Core i5- 4GB RAM- 1 TB HDD- 39.62 cm (15.6)- Windows 8.1-2 GB Graphic

8GB RAM costs 3-3.5k

Don't recommend a laptop with 940m since OP has a budget for a laptop with 950m.

Those ULV i5 processors are crap out of the box.

Forget AAA games you won't be able to use high intensive softwares in the Adobe family after a year.

That's why the people here are insisting on HQ or M processors which aren't available in i5 and only i7.

yeah i know that but what about my friend,he has clearly said he can not afford to have i7 machine because some of his Automation software do conflict system with i7 processor that will hinder his productivity.He wants i5 only. :-(

Mention all the softwares he will be using which (supposedly) conflict with i7.

I doubt any software which runs ok on an i5 would be hindered because of i7. Also, don't focus too much on i5 or i7. It all comes down to the specific models of the respective CPU's. If he had used those softwares on an ULV i7 (i7 ****U), most of which are underclocked dual core processors, no wonder he is insisting on an i5.

Nothing in your budget... There's one from Dell with i5 6th gen & GTX960M at 80k

Some softwares might conflict with i7 ULV processors as those are dual core whereas desktop ones are quad core. The laptops with i7 which we are suggesting have quad core CPU

Still mentioning those softwares would be helpful for us

Even I Googled same content. Now i am also unsure about his problem.It seems to be compatibility issue of OS not processor.

As the seller is mentioning seller warrranty, so I think Asus India won't provide warranty (seller is reputed one though)

Go for Asus R510JX from Paytm, which I mentioned earlier (10k cashback in Paytm wallet, which can be transferred to bank or just use it )

thanx everyone for your valuable suggestions. :-D
