Planning to buy a mid range gaming laptop

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a mid range gaming laptop within a budget of 70-71K(max).I'd love it if it has a 17" screen if possible.1TB HDD with SSD and the laptop shouldnt get heated very soon.All the best specs within the price range if available,then i'll be a very happy man

.So guys,If there is such laptop that suits these requirements,Please let me know.
Not a hardcore gamer but i should be able to play the latest games.Be able to use for both personal & office use and can handle high end applications without any hassle and do multitasking.
Should have the best configurations that can support these requirements.
My first choice was Lenovo y50-70 that suited these reqs and had enough USB ports & HD webcam.But turns out to be a bit more expensive.
Thanks..

That's the best config you can get around 70k in India unless Lenovo updates it with 960M. You can import clevo/sager from xotic pc but it'll overshoot your budget. Better wait till Q3-2105 IMO.
And fill the questionnaire.

Budget is around 60-71K(Max).
17"+
Primary tasks-Gaming,Browsing,Skype,Coding,App testing,Office work,Movies,torrents etc.

Nothing exactly on my mind but typical configurations i'd like is 17" screen,i7 processor or better,50GB SSD+1TB HDD,a good graphics card,DVD rw,6/9 cell battery etc.Majorly the laptop shouldnt heat up too much..

Preferred brand - Lenovo,Toshiba,HP,Dell,Asus,MSI.
Not preferred- Samsung & Others..

Full HD preferred.

Battery backup -(5 -7 hrs) preferred.

Lol u expect 5-7 hrs battery backup with your requirements :facepalm:

No 17" laptops in your budget.

lol okay.Scratch the 5-7 hrs battery backup & the 17" inch screen.I'll try not to be greedy and settle for 15.6.Is there any laptops of this specs?

Browse in Flipkart or Amazon? There's no option at that price point with given high requirements.

Wait for updated Y50 or check this :

I meant find an active listing. Who knows when it will be back....

Anyways OP, that's a good laptop. But Y50 updated one would be better with GTX960M. But still I would recommend ASUS one as Lenovo has poor quality & all my friends who have a lenovo laptop older than 2 years has some problem or the other, including my laptop. Just check online how is ASUS laptops after a year or two

Hi,
I found the ASUS ROG GL552 JX- CN009H perfect for my gaming need & my budget.I tried flipkart & others but all out of stock.I went to ASUS exclusive store nearby & ordered this product a month ago.After 30 days,He informs me that ASUS has discontinued this product so we'll offer you ASUS GL552JX-CN316T the new version for a discounted rate of 79,990 Rs.This is insane.He claims that the new one has better configurations but it seems very expensive.What should i do?Should i go for the CN316T or CN009H??.Please advise

I found 2 models on the lenovo website when i was looking for the updated y50.Can you provide me the link for the latest/updated y50 model?
Also i see that they are both priced around 88k which kind of exceeds my budget

.Does the latest model have a better screen compared to the old one?

Sorry for late reply

Updated model is available in US with IPS LCD screen instead of TN display + GTX960M
Y50 Laptop Good For Gaming & Entertainment*| Lenovo US

Lenovo Y50 with IPS Display & GTX960M is also available in India on Official Online Lenovo Store.

Here is the link Lenovo Y50-70 Laptops (Black) .

The price shown here is Rs 88,990/- which I think is the MRP. Can anyone confirm the availability of this particular model in Lenovo Retail Stores??

A 80k or below price would be great deal for me.

P.S. :- I called their toll free number to buy lenovo products on phone, the sales guy their offered me a discount of Rs 2000 which is still expensive at the rate of 86,990/-

If you need international warranty, buy Asus ROG or alienware laptops. They have better RMA network.
