^ You want future proof laptop which can play games at med settings for 2-3 yrs then forget about getting any one from Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc locally.

I would suggest that you buy ASUS ROG GL552 locally. I bought it locally for 72k.

Specs-

i7 4720HQ 2.6 - 3.6 ghz
8 GB 1600mhz RAM (upgradable to 16 gb)
2 GB GTX 950m ddr3
1TB 7200RPM
FHD IPS DISPLAY

Comes with ASUS gaming mouse, CERBERUS headset and Backpack. I will write a review of it soon.

PS- Display is awesome way better than most laptops especially Lenovo y50
PPS- Running GTA V on fhd high-ultra settings without lag, Witcher 3 on 768p High settings without lag.

You must have got it from ebay (thai imported). IMO if someone can extend budget they should buy from India only. The ebay listing had no accessories and a TN display. Although for 58k its still a good deal.

The asus laptop has gtx950m ddr3 which is slower than the gtx860m in y50.
so which one should I consider buying
And are there any new laptops being released within a month
when would the lenovo y50 with gtx 960m be most probably released in india

Yes but if u get it under 60k from ebay it would be a bang for a buck :) Wait for the new stock.. It will be in stock in a few days.. Or else if u want better performance in your budget (75-80k) go for y50 :p

Though its not worth to pay 15k extra for 860m.

y50 comes with a very poor TN display panel and slow HDD.

Any laptop with DDR3 950M is not worth over 60k even with warranty. I would've recommended clevo from xotic PC but since you want warranty, you need to compromise on the specification part.

What is the warranty on the Asus laptop?
The thing is that my dad is getting 70k(from company) to buy an electronic product but the imp. requirement is that the product must have atleast 3 years warranty

The manufacturer warranty is one year. You can inquire locally if they give 3 years. If not so, many HP laptops have 3 year warranty so you can check em out.

Just don't ditch 970m/960m over extra warranty period.

I am not sure which laptop to buy.Would contact asus for knowing about extra warranty
If that does not happen then I would have to buy lenovo y50
contacted azom systems and they said that the min priced laptop will be for 90k(gtx 960m 6gb)
