Xotic will be same issue of import duties but I'll still check it out.wch barebone should I Base my build upon on Xotic?

I'll speak to azom today and get a quote but please suggest me what configuration should I talk about.

I was unsure about if I get 16gb ram should I get 8x2 or 16x1 coz since the laptop is upgradable to 64gb and has 4 slots only I feel if I get 8x2 those stick will be wasted at the time of upgrade.

Please tell me what cpu should I go for over 6700hq
Where does the i5 6500k stand compared to the i7.
And should consider downgrading to 1050 or 1050ti instead of 1060?

What ssd should I go for? And does azom give a bag like Asus rog?

Thank in advance
Please respond immediately need to order tomorrow

i7 6700 configuration is going at 141k
So should I go for Base configuration in this mail or change a little.
20k doesn't matter but is it vfm and I too wouldn't want to splurge company's money unnecessarily.
If I am to go with azom what configuration should I finalise on?

The ram is gskill rip jaws and ssd avbl. are plextor and Samsung.
Also I was thinking of going 16x1 for ram as I may upgrade the ram and then the 8gb sticks will be wasted cause the laptop has 4 slots only.
What do you guys think?

Thanks & Regards
Aby
[MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION] please clear your inbox I am unable to pm you.

Also if I am touching 150k+ territory is it better to look at rog msi and hp omen configurations too before sealing the deal with azom.

I'll take a look at that for sure but I am not to keen on importing due to warranty issues.

MSI GE62VR 7RF Apache Pro 15.6-inch Laptop (Corei7-7700HQ+HM175/16GB/256GB + 1TB SATA 7200rpm/Windows 10/6GB Graphics) With Gaming Bag:Amazon:Computers & Accessories

Found this on amazon what do you guys think is it worth going for this as I was already considering 6rf.
But could not find wether it is upgradable and how's the battery life.

Is this better or a desktop 6700 based configuration from azom?
The battery life on exigo bothers me it won't be mobile if it needs plugging in every hour or 2.

*update*
I got a quote for ge62vr 7rf from smc at 139k
And I found ge72vr 7rf on md computers website for 156k availability is pre order for it but it's 17.3 inch and 120hz.

Out of these 2 which one do you think will be better and how is regenersis service?
And if I order from md can I tell them to use courier like DHL?

Please let me know ASAP.

 

[aby geek]

Hello people
I spoke to both smc and md computers today.
The msi ge62vr 7rf is 138k at Smc and 130k at md if paid through NEFT.2% extra if paid by card.

Smc doesn't know about ge72vr 7rf and md said 150k with NEFT and 2% extra if paid by card.

Please help me choose and let me know what you think as my requirement is urgent.

Thanks in advance
Aby

MSI laptops in India are way overpriced and buying them here is a waste of money.

I think that the quoted price is for lowest variant. (It says Intel Integrated Graphics in Technical Details )

 

[aby geek]

Yeah I thought so too but that is quiet misleading they have listed it with discount do peple may get the wrong idea.
Anyway azom themselves said battery life under load is around 1 hr so that doesn't cut it for me.
I think only msi is left then all others are either expensive or have outdated graphics.
Is there any other laptop you have in mind?

@SaiyanGoku please clear your inbox I am unable to pm you.

Also if I am touching 150k+ territory is it better to look at rog msi and hp omen configurations too before sealing the deal with azom.

This config here seems good for 125k. Ask them to switch the 2 8GB sticks with a single 16GB stick wiithout increasing the price. Or rather remove them altogether (with ssd, hdd also maybe?) so that you can add ram (likewise) of your choice, giving a reduction in price equivalent to the additional components' prices mentioned here. (stock config ram + hdd + ssd ~= 17.8k)

HP Omen in India has even more ridiculous pricing compared to MSI.

There's a possibility to buy from Singapore. Should stick with msi or should I get aftershock or razer instead?

 

[aby geek]

Hello everyone,
Please tell me ASAP if it is okay to buy msi laptop from USA or singapore should I go for something else?

Ge62vr 7rf starts at 94k on amazon USA here it is 130k at least.
Please let me know if it would be smarter to get some other laptop from USA?

Thanks
Aby

MSI India won't give a crap about warranty for a laptop bought from outside India.

If you want international warranty, getting a laptop from Asus, Dell or Gigabyte makes sense. (IIRC @abcxyz bought one from USA recently)

 

[aby geek]

Thanks saiyan goku
Yeah I did know that I am still looking for an alternate that's why.

Asus dell gigabyte will give warranty here?
But I heard Asus service isn't good is that true.

I asked gigabyte people in the India gaming show and they said we don't give warranty for outside product because it is not our sale it is us branch sale we don't benefit from it.
So that threw me off a little I was planning on p57x at first
Though he told me aero and aorus laptops are coming from March and starting point should be approx 1 lac
Asus confirmed gl553 date as 15 Feb.
Their will be 2 variants 8gb ram one will be 95k and 16gb on with ssd will be 110k.
Both will run on 7700hq the ssd he said will be supported upto 512gb and hdd will be upto 3tb.
They will come with 1050 and 1050ti

As far brands abroad are concerned boxx was too expensive but I find eurocom and aftershock to be reasonably priced.
Need to search about their international warranty.

What laptop model will you suggest from the brands you mentioned.

Thanks &regards
Aby

Guys if i buy from xotic or eurocom and get it delivered to a US address will I be eligible for warranty here in India?

 

[aby geek]

Hi guys
Please tell me among apache pro 7rf and gl553 wch one should I go for.
I will buy it this week.

Thanks
Aby.

Both are overpriced AF. Assemble a desktop instead. Members have been telling you this from the start.

Thanks goku

This laptop is for work and I will need to travel so I am bound to a laptop.

Other then overpriced any issues with these choices that I need to know about?

I bought Gigabyte-p57x-v6 from USA. Just the the record the laptop is awesome for its price at 90k.

Speaking about warranty, Gigabyte do provide warrant in India. Before buying I left no stone unturned. I spoke directly with the product manager of Gigabyte International, he assured me warranty in India through a written mail and I also confirmed the same through official gigabyte community through tickets.

They provided me a list of all gigabyte service centers Available in India.

Eurocom & xotic warranty doesn't work in India. You need to ship back the laptop to usa.
