Hi friends,
I am looking to buy a laptop among the following three :
1.Lenovo Ideapad Y700 80NV00J3IH 15.6-inch Laptop (Core i7-6700HQ/8GB/1TB/Windows 10/4GB Graphics), Black
2.MSI GL62 6QF 15.6" Laptop (Core i7 6th Gen/ DDR4 8GB/ 1TB(SATA)/DOS/ NVidia Geforce GTX 960M, 4GB GDDR5)
3.Asus ROG GL552VW-CN426T (Intel i7 6700 HQ / 8 GB DDR 4 /1TB HDD / GTX960M 4GB DDR5 / 15.6-inch
Full HD Gaming Laptop / WIN 10)

keeping aside the cost, please friends help me decide between the three. My needs are good screen, good keyboard(There will be lot of typing) and programming in Matlab, Linux (Upgradable RAM is a must).

How about none of these overpriced laptops?
Get a quote from Azom or import a laptop from Xoticpc

Thanks for your reply.
I was considering AZOM initially but they are pure gaming laptops I will be using my laptop for mostly programming and typing so a high end GPU seemed not suited to my needs. Also their starting quote was from 1.13L, I will not be able to extend my budget above1L.

I will greatly appreciate if you could suggest some new laptop based based on my primary needs- solid CPU+8GB RAM with expandable option+ moderately powerful GPU+ good screen-keyboard+ good build quality.

This model does not have SSD so how important is SSD for performance?
Could I update SSD after I purchase?

I voted for Asus, seems better than other 2 options. Has DDR4 RAM also.

Thanks for your reply. The laptops are cheaper in XOTIC PC site. Do you know the procedure for ordering and importing laptop through them. Is there any customer reviews of XOTIC PC buyers in India?
