Hi ,my relatives are moving back from USA to India so I think its a good opportunity to buy a gaming laptop from there...
By budget is strictly 1000$ if can get below it then also good
Will be using it for gaming purposes,and some video and photo editing/making
Things I will be needing are
1.ddr4 ram to make it future proof
2.good speakers and display
3.some of the new laptops come with USB type c port (bonus if present)
4. Ssd is not really required,will upgrade afterwards if needed ( or will buy separately and add it)
5.international warranty will be good
6. Backlit keyboard of course
7.laptop looks more sexier and durable the better
Few is my suggestions are
Lenovo y700
ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH71
And msi laptops
Alienware is expensive but if any at range and worth buying then good
Any company works if gives international warranty
Mostly will use for gaming so please tell carefully ,thank you
And also please tell where can I get best deals online,I don't have any idea and I am considering amazon or newegg
I'm getting it from my relatives so can buy from USA and won't be shipping it,my neighbours will be getting it with them

You'll have to increase the budget to 1200$ to accommodate your requirements of a "gaming" laptop with ddr4 ram.

It does not ship to India, it seems

There's a ASUS GL552VW which does ship to India, but adding up shipping & import duties it comes to $1300 for 2GB GPU,16GB RAM, no SSD version ..... But you can get the same laptop with 128GB SSD & 4GB GPU at 89k in India

Oh ...If your relatives are going to bring the laptop get ASUS one. Just open the box the box tell them to bring it as their own laptop. No worries about duties

Why not purchase PC instead of Laptop? You will be need to purchase external Monitor for laptop to play games while PC is much cheaper and you can customize it.

But price of Laptop in USA is really cheaper then Indian laptop and its a good opportunity for you to get it at less cost.

I think he was referring to the fact that It won't be enjoyable to game using the small laptop screen.
