1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
Rs. 1.5L
Wouldn't mind if i get a laptop in lesser price.

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Desktop Replacement; 14-15"


3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
- Programming - VS 2013.. couple of services and console running processing messages and all that..
- Heavy into gaming: Going to play most FPS games like cod aw, MMorpgs and rpgs

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eyeing for ?
Saw Origin eos-15s loved it, but there is a thin and fat version of it, dont know the difference.. If any one can tell me how they fair it would great.

I don't want a toaster, heating is my biggest concern.


4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
Everything is fine.

6) Anything else you would like to say?

Not really i want a good machine that wouldn't like to change in the next 3-4 years.

​7) Here's the most important question

I would recommend getting a laptop from US as all the laptops in India are underpowered for the price. Look for a Sager. Look at this:

XOTIC PC | Sager NP9377 (Clevo P370SM3) - 17.3" Custom Gaming Laptop

Get the 15" Sager from Xotic.

XOTIC PC | Sager NP8258 (Clevo P157SM-A) - 15.6" Gaming Laptop

Also, fat origin is probably the old sager model in which you can user-upgrade the GPU. The thin/new one has a soldered GPU. Both laptops are essentially the same excepting the thickness.
Also, Sagers don't heat. You can go for one anytime. You can do an IC-diamond repaste for added cooling.

A brief overview:
Sager is the original company. Xotic, Origin, HIDevolution, Gentech PC are resellers who re-brand and sell either Sager or MSI laptops.

Sadly i have no one to bring the laptop to for me from US. Does Xotic pc deliver to India? if yes any idea how much extra it costs for the duty charges?
P.S I can do UK though. So i can get it if they come in UK.

But even after employing this much duty you will be able to get the laptop well in your budget.

Duty on laptops is 16-18% and not 37.5%

That 37.5% must include service charge and shipping costs as well. It's not cheap to import yourself unless you have someone to bring it to India by hand carry.
