Asus ROG GL552JX DM291D Core I7 4750HQ 4GB 1TB 15 6" Full HD 4GB Graphics | eBay

Buy additional 8GB RAM for 3k + 250GB M2 SSD (~8-10k)

It has additional M2 slot for SSD, so in the end you will have HDD + SSD

Those softwares you mentioned are CPU intensive & nowadays most i7 laptops in India have dual core as opposed to quad core in this model

Weight less than 2kg?? No such laptop exists in India which has quad core i7 + light weight

This is the only VFM laptop available in India right now. Do you know if the skylake version of this will be launched anytime soon? Or the new lenovo y700 series?

Don't buy M.2 2280 SSD.
Instead swap hdd for ssd,cd for hdd.
SSD's 2.5" offer good and better performance compared to HDD.
