As you don't want Apple, but still need SSD.......so get a Lenovo Y510p
Lenovo Ideapad Y510 (59-390016) Laptop (4th Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Rs.73490 Price in India - Buy Lenovo Ideapad Y510 (59-390016) Laptop (4th Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Black Online - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

Then add an mSATA SSD(you can keep the 1TB HDD too, SSD goes to a different port in motherboard)
256GB would be great. Ask Lenovo guys to move the OS to SSD. Install your softwares here. All the apps running from SSD would be fast+ you have a 1TB HDD to for storage needs

I'm personally planning to get 128GB one in future

Some people have confirmed that the Y510p doesn't have a msata slot, instead it has the m.2 ngff ssd slot. never buy anything without researching. I suggest you first buy the laptop, open it up, see what slot it has and then order the SSD.
