My requirements
good 1080p display
SSD/ SSHD for fast responsiveness

I'd be happy if someone made a laptop with i5, 8GB of RAM, a good SSHD (32gb cache or similar) or SSD+HDD and a good 1080p display. Unfortunately no one does.

I have singled out few laptops
Lenovo Y510p (i5 version) (with 120GB SSD instead of ODD)
- Screen is a TN panel. Reviews say good things about it but I'm not sure if it is as good as the IPS on Dell 5000 series
- Looks wise I prefer the sleek design of dell
- No SSD/SSHD but since it costs 57K, I think I'll swap the ODD for a dedicated 120GB SSD which would be a much better option than SSHD. Are such SSD bays available in India?
- Reviews say WiFi range is average at best
- Heating issues? Not sure if this will be an issue for me as I won't be gaming much

Dell Inspiron 15 Series 5000 (5547)
- Only 8GB SSHD cache, it will boot fast but not sure if there will be any advantage in application responsiveness and performance)
- No ODD so cannot add another SSD

Sony Vaio Fit 15
- Love this machine. Damn you Sony for selling away Vaio

Apple MBA 13" with windows 8.1
- Never used one but have heard only good things about it

No available means discontinued because of newer y50 or out of stock temporarily?

Crappy gpu is ok. Dell seems great but the ssd expansion option and price of y510p is moth watering.

Y510p will heat up for sure when you run multiple editing software.

The laptop is made to withstand that heat. The cards are safe till 95+. The highest a Y510p gets is 80 degrees.

Right off the assembly line
Y510p is totally discontinued. I was searching for one since last one month and was unable to find one... Yesterday I bought lenovo Z50-70 with full hd screen at 46k. The dealer told me that it is a limited edition version from the company to celebrate sales. It is only available in white colour. The configuration is i5,4gb,500gb,2gb gt840m gfx.
