Lenevo Y500 for approximately 62-63k . One of the best laptops in that price range , AFAIK.
Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

It has GT650m [GDDR5 memory]. The GDDR5 memory makes a considerable difference.

I am not sure if it still exists in newer stocks. I think that was resolved by Lenovo. Still I would recommend you to consult some guys in the Lenovo Y500 thread. There's a dedicated thread to that laptop. If possible , you can get some suggestion and reviews in that thread. :)

Lenova has not halted its production. The new stock has come and its without touchpad issues. It was flikart's mistake which is rectified now. Now it says "out of stock" instead of "discontinued" :)
