Hi Guys,

Been through some threads where they talked about Mid-gaming/photoshop/editing mix. Keeping that in mind, I wanted to further ask if such laptops are available where primary storage can be ssd and secondary HDD.
Secondly, does it make sense to have such combo today? I do have WD 1tb external but I'd rather prefer 2 internal disks than always attaching my external disk.

1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
50-70k (something that shouldn't bother me for another min. 5 years)

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
  • Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen
3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Office work (heavy excel files), but more important photo editing/video editing and casual gaming. No, nothing related to high-end at all.

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
250gb ssd, and 1tb hdd, also a 9 cell battery if it permits? Also, never had a liking for AMD/Asus brand but if you're recommending these, then please state the reason.

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: hp/dell
b. Dislike:

6) Anything else you would like to say?
  • Backlit keyboard
  • Currently I have Dell n5110 15R, of which I recently learned that it has very, very limited space inside hence it over heats kinda fast. Id not like the same issue to happen in the future laptops.
  • I also use cooling fan under the laptop. All in all, a laptop to run for causal gaming and help me out with video editing (adobe premiere pro) - and lasts for 5 years at least.

Forget about a good laptop in your budget unless you are buying it from USA. Those having 1050Ti cost above 80k in India and that is a low end card in my opinion.

Assemble a R5 1600 + GTX 1060 desktop instead.

Video editing and rendering on a ULV dual core proccy will take ages. Indian laptops in this budget are crippled by OEMs. Again, forget about a laptop and assemble a desktop.
