Thanks but i need something with Full HD display, backlit keyboard, i5 processor, 4 gb ram, 2GB GPU, 1 TB HDD and pre-installed windows 10. You know any such model?

my suggestion go for amd laptop and best is
Lenovo ideapad 500 80K40038IH 15.6-inch Laptop (AMD-A10-8700P/ 8GB/ 1TB/ 2GB Graphics/ Windows 10),Black
it has 1080p display and Yes, it is perfect for Mid-Level gaming. Even you can compare it with up to 5th Generation Intel core i5.
(it can run games like fall out4 and gta v under low and mid settings)
There are some options available in AMD A-Series processors where you can use the Dual Graphics (Integrated+Dedicated) with some models of the Radeon Series.

I think lenovo has stopped this model. Their site says it's no longer available. Any ways it's available in amazon. Any idea on how good is the battery and keypad?

I don't think any such model is available from any major brands in India below 50k.In fact even if you extend your budget by a bit the models you will get may not be what you expect.Read reviews here to get some idea:
Amazon.in:Customer Reviews: Lenovo Z51-70 80K600VWIN 15.6-inch Laptop (i5-5200U/8GB/1 TB/Win 10/AMD TROPO XT2 DDR3L 4G), (Black

I don't know what exactly you are going to require an i5 for but i can tell you that unless you plan on doing some serious encoding using x264/265 or running some 1-2 virtual machines most of the time or doing some serious 3d/image rendering, an i5 is not of much use to an avg person.You are better buying off a cheap reasonable budget laptop for ~33k,replace its hdd with ssd,increase ram,get a good 22"-23" full HD monitor & overall experience will be much better.

^x265 codec needs 6th gen Intel for better faster encoding, don't know about AMD.

I am not going to do any heavy lifting with my laptop.It will be majorly used for lots of browsing & movies and occasional games.I wanted an i5 & discrete gpu because i wanted to future proof it.After spending last couple of days searching for such a model i also realize that we don't get good models in that budget here. I am prepared to compromise on CPU & GPU but still i want full HD on 15 inch with good battery backup and excellent keyboard preferably backlit as i travel. It also needs to be rugged and should handle a little rough treatment. Can you suggest any good models?

A

Future proof = newer gen parts..
Intel 6th gen, gtx 10 series etc. looks for that.
You can't get everything you need to compromise in some, give priority like cpu first then gpu etc, it will help you.

I got these 3 after going through HP site. Anybody have any experience with these models?

PS: Don't buy laptops with AMD/ATI GPUs. They aren't worth over 30k unless they can somehow fit a RX 460 in an i5 based 40k laptop.

Seem to be right build for the OP to proceed with. Regarding the Windows 10 key, make sure you go to reddit softwareswap to purchase it. I've bought a lot of keys from there. You can rely on the top 3 sellers there.

It meets your requirements (even has backlit keyboard) but don't expect to run latest games at med or high at even 768p

For better gaming experience, you would have to buy Asus R510JX

R558UR has got 2 variants mentioned in amazon. DM069D & T. There's almost a 4k difference in price. Anyone knows what's the difference? And does it have backlit keyboard?

So, my search continues for a good laptop with full hd and backlit keyboard ( i travel a lot). As many have suggested here laptops are overpriced here. So i have decided not give much importance to gaming laptops or laptops with higher graphics card. I would prioritize my requirements as Full HD & Backlit keyboard, 4 GB Memory (Expandable) Good warranty with extendable option . Any more suggestions will be helpful.

Sorry for poking my nose in between, but didn't want to start a new thread since the requirements are almost the same.
Budget: 50-55k
Primary requirements: Full HD display, backlit keyboard, 7th gen i5 and expandable RAM.
Came across this on Amazon.
ACER ASPIRE F5-573G ( NX.GD8SI.001 ) 7th Gen Core i5 7200u / 4GB DDR4 Ram / 1 TB HDD / 2Gb GeForce® 940MX Graphics / Windows 10:Amazon:Computers & Accessories

Seems killer for the price but a quick check on Acer India's official site revealed that this actually ships with a 768p display and not the 1080p as mentioned on Amazon. Got in touch with Amazon CC but was assured that my laptop would ship with a 1080p regardless of what was mentioned on the official site.

Anybody has any clue as to who's right and who isn't? Does this really have a 1080p screen? Any other alternatives worth considering? The closest I could find to this was the HP AU116TX which is priced at 57k and going by the looks of it, doesn't look like it'll be easy to disassemble the rear panel to upgrade RAM. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Both the HP ones are good. i5 7th gen and 6th gen in those laptops are nearly same apart from clock speed. If you can afford then go for 7th gen considering it as future proof. Apart from that, both are nearly same as per your usage.

Can't say about Ideapad as I don't know how AMD MESO XT match up against nVidia's 940MX. And Ideapad doesnt have DDR4

Went had a look at AU116tx. Looks good although the keyboard didn't look and feel good at all. Couldn't find lenovo and asus models as it's supposed to be stopped as per shop i visited. Found a Dell model in the same price range and similar config. Will check it out next week before deciding. Anyone has any experience or know any review of the dell model?

As previously mentioned, the main objective here is to do a lot of browsing, watch movies in hd, using documents and rare gaming. There will be a lot of traveling involved. Hence require a decent battery and should be a little rough. Gaming will be last priority.

Even though gaming is the last resort, when you can get decent laptop that is latest 6th gen without the need to upgrade must be kept in mind.

If you want to add more RAM then you can add the latest DDR4 ram.

Also the suggested laptop is available at decent budget right.

Well, 5567 is not available on dell store also.Would be really helpful if someone could help me find a honest full review of both 5567 and au-116tx models. Searching in google is only resulting in online store comments.

It's overpriced and I don't trust buying from paytm. I am still unable to find any reviews for hp and dell models which is really frustrating.

Lenovo has only overpriced laptops not worth the price.Look if want a light sleek laptop then forget about gaming no laptop in india will do that.

For your requirement this Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3″ Silver | xiaomi-mi.co would have been perfect but sadly they are not selling it india.

So you have to decide either you go with 13.3" sleek laptop or a 15" mainstream laptop.Decide which one you need then we can help.

I started my search with my priorities as below:

Full HD With back-lit keypad

15.6 inch display with minimum 4 GB RAM (expandable if possible)

Will use it for occasional gaming (skyrim medium settings)

My budget was around 50 to 55.

Laptops i had shortlisted:
================
Compare HP Pavilion 15-AU116TX (Y4F79PA) Laptop (Core i5 7th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 10/4 GB) and Lenovo Ideapad 500 (80NT00L5IN) Laptop (Core i5 6th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 10/2 GB) and Asus R558UR-DM069T Laptop (Core i5 6th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 10/2 GB) and Dell Inspiron 15 5567 (Z563504SIN9B) Laptop (Core i5 7th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 10/2 GB) | 91mobiles.co

Problems I am facing:
==================
HP Pavilion 15-AU116TX ( Overpriced.Keyboard felt bad)

Dell Inspiron 15 5567 ( Not available currently)

Lenovo Ideapad 500 ( Getting offline very difficult and configuration is low compared to above two)

Asus R558UR-DM069T ( I would have bought this except for no back lit keypad and not available offline)

Other than mentioned above, i am not able to find an unbiased review for any of these models other than in online stores which are not reliable.
So i am not sure which to buy. If there any good and proved laptops missed out in 15 or lower size with FHD and good keyboard, config i am ready to compromise on my initial requirement.I have even thought of going for Mac book.But i have no experience on apple OS i am not sure on that either.Any help in solving this dilemma would be helpful.

Get this Hp 15au084tx it comes with intel 6xxx series processor I think this will suit your requirement.I am sorry but i can check pricing for this model as i am on slow internet.

As per MAC i don't know how game support are in these.but how much you are willing to spend?

I have already of this one as a viable option.Except for having a 6th gen processor, 15au084tx has the exact same configuration as au116tx. Problem is like i said i am not able to get a review of these models.I don't want to buy a laptop which won't last atleast for 3 years.I need something which is already proven in the market.If you know anything of such please share.

You are expecting too much for the price.What exactly do you mean by lasting at least 3 years?A 2 lakh rupees laptop can be broken within days if physically mishandled.Furthermore as you are planning on gaming it would be a good idea to it in an AC room as far as possible.Excluding LUCK factor i think any laptop can last 3 years as long as these other precautions are followed & if there is any manufacturing defect it should come to light within the warranty year itself.In fact it is better to go for an extended warranty with ADP(accidental damage protection) by paying a bit extra especially when buying laptop.

I excluded physical damage / damage due to any natural factors. I wanted it to be a little future proof in terms of RAM & CPU. As for gaming, i am not considering it a priority anymore.What will you suggest?

Problem with buying laptops in India is there are no reviews of any laptops and you can only find laptops with average build quality,average display and average speakers.

As per your 2nd query yeah It will last 3 years but you need to use your device carefully.

RAM can be easily replaced and i have not seen CPU getting faulty.

thanks for your help. 15au084tx seems to be difficult to get offline. Need to check local HP stores.

I found certain laptop models supporting only a maximum resolution of 1366 * 768 referred to as having full hd. Can someone clarify how this is possible?.

Bad information that's all. Full hd is 1920*1080 and no other resolution.

Finally I bought AU-116TX. I bought it for 55440 (1000 cashback from HP & 2500 Cashback from HDFC CC). Thanks for all your help.I have not fully started using the lap yet.But one thing i felt is that i need to add more RAM as it was feeling a bit slow. Could some one suggest a good 4 or 8 GB RAM?

[MENTION=29291]jackal_79[/MENTION] , Finally.... you bought, I thought you will not buy this year

though, Congratulations. Great choice. Have fun.

Thanks. I had doubt too. But honestly buying a laptop is really a hassle in India. Not too many good choices.

My lap came with a lot of preloaded s/w.Mainly HP s/w. How to find which are not required. I uninstalled some using should i remove it. But there are still a lot pending and my lap already a bit slow.

get ram of 15-15-15-35 i guess. That is what I saw on your CPU-Z image.

Check on HP site for your model which software setups are available.If all of them are available on HP site then you can read in their description to see if they are useful or not.If you uninstall something & then feel the need to get it again then you can always reinstall from HP site.My first suggestion would be to uninstall macafee(if present) as many laptop makers give their trial version pre-installed.

I will check out the HP site. I do have Mcafee installed along with something called bytefence anti malware. Are these required? If i uninstall these i would still require some antivirus suite.Can you suggest some good suite? I heard kaspersky is really good.

Go for any brand with decent reviews. You should not face any problem. But you can wait for other's suggestion too.

Thing is other than the one already mentioned here earlier, I found one myself from Kingston. One is mentioned as having 260 pin and other 288. I don't know which would be correct for me.how to find the correct one?

Online Mobile Recharge - Postpaid, DTH & Datacard Bill Payments at Paytm.co

Is this what you are looking for?
It's out of stock here I'll look around more?
Should it be 3200mhz or 2400?

My lap already has 4 gb and will support a maximum of 16 gb only. Also this one is way expensive.

Install avira free,that is good enough & better than mcafee any day.

DDR4 SDRAM - Wikipedi

DDR4 memory is supplied in 288-pin dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), similar in size to 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs....DDR4 SO-DIMMs have 260 pins instead of the 204 pins of DDR3 SO-DIMMs

SO-DIMM is smaller size ram that is used in laptops.So 288pin DDR4 ram is regular size one used in desktop & 260pin DDR4 ram is smaller size one used in laptops.

Install only MS Essentials which is light on resources if you have Win7.

From Win8 onwards it comes default in the OS which is called as Defender.

All other AVs eat so much RAM or resource hoggers and some even does not let the user to uninstall it.

This one is 288 pin.But it says laptop memory. Should i buy it?

W

288pin is regular DDR4 ram meant for desktops & 260pin is DDR4 SODIMM/laptop ram,either the description is wrong(260pin not 288pin) or product title is wrong(not laptop but desktop).

Kaspersky is good buy you will have to pay for using it effectively.install trial version of any AV before settling on using it as some AVs don't work as well on some systems because of various hardware/software combinations.

Finally i bought and installed the crucial 8GB RAM mentioned earlier in the thread.Interestingly, i am getting usable RAM as 11.9 GB out of 12. I have always observed higher difference between usable and installed RAM. Anyways, posting some CPU-Z pics for the memory. Hope everything is good. Thank you all for your help!
