More or less future proof and MEDIA consumption.

Stay away from Honor. It is a dying brand. As you want it to stay longer, Go for Asus. TBH I never used any MSI product, but my friend had one, He had a lot of struggle getting it's MoBo fixed, The laptop was in service center for straight 1.5month until service center told it cannot be one.

But asus aint good for display.

Please Help me.

Remove 3rd, no brainer, even if it had R5 4500U. 1st & 2nd are different types of laptop, 2nd one is a great gaming laptop for the price whereas 1st one is just a multimedia laptop. So rethink your usage & priorities.

Also, there is a 4th option 'Waiting' - But I know, Yes.

Anyhow if you are going towards Gaming laptop then the below model which bought by the fellow member here is also now 60k (59,990 at the time of writing), first Ryzen 4000 here in this forum I think....Amazon sells lots of these, check all the review. The downside comes with HDD only, immediate expenses for M.2 SSD and 1650 - No Ti for the base variant but 1.98kg in weight

HP Pavilion 15-ec1024AX

Future proof? Means upgradeability of components.
Isn't MSI a good choice?
Your expert opinion please.
The only CON with that GL65 Leopard is it's pathetic battery life!!!

Gaming laptops won't match multimedia laptops/ultrabooks for battery life at similar price.

Again, decide what you want. GL65 is a gaming laptop, no point to get it if you don't play games, waste of that performance when a multimedia laptop like that Asus will look more elegant (subjectively), is lighter, thinner & has better battery life.

I wouldn't call a laptop with below avg display a multimedia laptop, at best it can be called as an everyday/office usage laptop. For multimedia laptop screen quality should be the most important factor because what's the point of multimedia if you are watching it on a poor quality display. I would rather use a gaming laptop as a multimedia laptop than using a poor quality display laptop as a multimedia laptop(for that no gaming part, one can always use madvr & see their graphics card getting loaded just like playing the latest game ).

THIS IS THE ASSURANCE I WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not demeaning anyone's views or any opinion. Just for the sake of my personal likeness and thoughts.

In fact, friend, what is your opinion abut Honor Magicbook 15 with AMD Ryzen 3500U?
SINCE THE SCREEN FEATURE IS AWESOME!!!!
According to Geeky Ranjit's reviews on Youtube it is quite good with some minor cons.

Shall I wait for Honor Magicbook Pro 16(16GB DDR4 RAM with Ryzen 4500U)? Your take on this @dissel ?

Till date Honor is not a dying brand. I can't agrre with you @RumbaMon19 . Govt. of India has banned a lot of chinese apps from the market,BUT NOT ANY SPECIFIC electronic devices. Otherwise Amazon Shopping Festival and Flipkart Billion Days would had gone into thin air.

Just observe what a heck of sales are being done by this two online market giants in selling Mobile phones. Which companies Mobile were they? Not only Samsung,Nokia,Redmi. CHINESE manufacturers are a lot felt by their presence.

Honor specs are fine but its brand is unknown, who knows how reliable its hardware is & whether you will be able to get it serviced after its 1 year standard warranty is over. The thing about honor is its targeting by US govt which has already crippled its android smartphones & who knows maybe in future Microsoft may too follow the suite.

One Important thing to consider about:--->

MSi GL65 Leopard 9SCXK-065IN model at Amazon.in is not found within MSi website.
How could one update drivers from their site???

Basically, honor has never made laptops before and sold here in India. This time although it is doing, but the risk is, after a year or so, suppose the MoBo is dead for some reason, how will you get it replaced? The mobile service centers are not going to repair Laptops, I have confirmed that. It will be good if you want it for a year or two, but mind that aftersales ain't going to be good.

As far as dying is concerned, Huawei is thinking to sell some parts of honor(around 55-65%) to other companies. So one cannot be really sure of what happens after 2 years to them. They may survive with HongMeng OS but without GMS, it ain't going to work outside china Chances are government may do so, as it is copying the trail of some other government.


Anyways, u may take precautions before buying it.

I think those general use laptops are called multimedia laptops. Those with good displays usually enter the ultrabook category in terms of weight & design as well for a premium experience.

Just ask MSI support about it. Not sure why MSI went with complicating drivers based on sub-models.

Visited there but no model of 9SCXK-065IN present in the menu.

Ultimately nurturing a feelings like returning to this:--->

Dell Inspiron 3505 15inch FHD AG Display Laptop (Ryzen-5 3500U / 8GB / 512 SSD / Vega Graphics / 1 Yr NBD Warranty / Win 10 + MS Office H&S 2019 / Soft Mint) D560341WIN9S

Price: Rs.46,990.00

Only con for me the bezels could have been more thinner.
AMD Ryzen 3500U instead of 4500U

What are your feelings,

For this much price & weight I would look for a gaming laptop.

Just another small point about ASUS laptop charger:

The charging brick arrangement is pretty weird as shown here. While folding it can cause breakage over long use. Also the part that goes to laptop seems fragile. The off-center location of cord attachment is also practically bad.

Any Idea on AVITA Laptops? The screen looks promising.
Though 2 points are con(UNSATISFACTORY) for me. Still mind is kicking itself.
1). AMD Ryzen 7 3700U with Vega 10 Graphics(Absolute bliss). Only if it were AMD Ryzen 4500U or 4700U.
2). 14inch screen. A 15.6 inch screen would had blown my mind.
