1) What is your budget?

Around 50000/- INR

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

Should be a slim profile
15.6" screen

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?

MS Office and DOTA 2 for gaming

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?

I need an extra enclosure for my SSD. I intend to buy a laptop with a 1TB HDD, and have a spare HDD enclosure, to fit in an SSD that I already own.

IPS display would be great!

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
Maybe Dell, as it has a great aftermarket support.

6) Anything else you would like to say?

Screen resolution (1080p, alteast)
Purchase place : Online or from a local store in Ahmedabad
Good build quality

Thank you for the help!

Wait for sales in flipkart

This laptop goes for 50k during sales:
Acer Nitro 5 Core i5 7th Gen - (8 GB/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home/2 GB Graphics) AN515-51 Gaming Laptop Rs.59999 Price in India - Buy Acer Nitro 5 Core i5 7th Gen - (8 GB/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home/2 GB Graphics) AN515-51 Gaming Laptop Black Online - Acer : Flipkart.com

GTX 1050 is an entry-level gaming GPU which should run all games for the next 2-3 years at least.

It doesn't have 2x 2.5" SATA bays (if that's what you are looking for) but has an M.2 slot for SSD.

Are there any laptops that come with an optical drive, this would potentially allow me to swap the SSD SATA that I already own in place of that.

Although the laptop that you have linked looks pretty good!

DVD drive is almost extinct, my 2 years old laptop didn't have one.
