Dell New Inspiron 15R SE Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win7 HP/ 2GB Graph) - Dell: Flipkart.com - Full HD, 3rd gen Core i7 processor - Price 65K

Sounds ideal for your requirement IMHO. Plenty of satisfied users here too, who'd testify to its awesomeness. And obviously solid ASS too.

What about build quality compared to others

Build quality is OK. But I thought your emphasis was on performance rather? This strikes the perfect balance between price, performance and service IMHO. I mean you could go for VAIO or something if you prefer build quality, but performance-wise 15R SE is great.

I5 or i7 is better for Dell 15R

i7 obviously, performancewise. Since it's within your budget and you need the best performance, i7 without a doubt.

What about battery backup and screen resolution?

You should get around 4 hrs on moderate use (i.e. non gaming). 1366 x 768 (see the specs I posted), with full HD.

Even if you could do that via some third party website, I'm not sure your warranty will be valid. It will be a pain in the a$$ anyway.

Not required - Windows 8 Metro UI is touch friendly/ready that's all. You could do fine without that. I wouldn't recommend touch laptops since you care perfo mostly.
