What is your budget? ~50000, can wait upto diwali for purchasing

What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

  • Thin and Light; 12" - 14" screen
  • Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen

What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?

Entertainment and occasional games, and sleek enough for occasional use in business settings

Anything else you would like to say?

Screen resolution - 1080p
Battery backup - 5hrs

OP, you should have bought during Big Billion sale on Flipkart. :sad:

UPDATED: There is an upcoming Flipkart Diwali sale. If you are lucky enough you can get a decent laptop within that budget.

@akhilsai831 @sohan_92 I am upgrading my budget to 60k. And apart from above requirements, I need a well built laptop since I will be travelling a lot. A weight upto 2.5 kg is fine. And I may be able to import a piece from US through my friend, so I am open to that avenue too.

I need to make purchase by this month end, through a friend, from US. Whichever laptop satisfies my requirements in a budget of ~1000 dollars will do.

There is, XPS 13 High Performance Laptop with InfinityEdge Display | Dell United States

Also, can i attach an external hdd to it, since it has only sdd? Plus i hope there are no heating issues with 7577?

No, that's the XPS with 8th gen core i7 (8550U). For performance/heating issues, check on notebookcheck. As for external HDD, check for USB ports.
