30-35k Casual gaming..

[v.Na5h]

I will be asking some random questions. Will be updating this post

1. Is this the right time to buy one. Keeping in offers, tech etc It's not a urgent requirement. Can wait for 3-4 months
2. Should I wait for broadwell/skylake based processors.. And maxwell geforce 900 series.
3. Will be playing casual games like simcity, etc.. Would 4400 be enough or should I get 820m.. Unless the price difference is more than 3k..820m would be better I guess..
4. This may be stupid.. A simple Google may answer. But I'm lazy.. Does the laptop that has a say geforce gfx have on board Intel option too
5. Not finding much time these days.. Like in my college days where I researched for almost 150+ hours to get a desktop So somebody who has recently bought one with similar requirements suggest one.. 820m based ones

If you want something right now, extend budget to 40k and get Lenovo Z50 either FHD with 820m or HD with 840m.

I don't think laptops with low end 900m series will launch before May.

NEVER buy a laptop without a dGPU since you can't add it later.

Actually MSI is looking to refresh our gaming laptops with lower end 900 series by April.

and what about the pricing?
Last time it was 840m on a 65k Leopard and DDR5 850m on 95k Apache. I hope this time, its DDR5 950m on the 65k Leopard, 960m on 80k Leopard and 970m on 95k Apache (with 128 gb ssd). Else Lenovo will still have the better VFM configs.

Edit: didn't realise you said lower end 900m series

Still 940m on a 50k laptop with FHD screen would be good enough competition.

940m with 50k is a good option.

Crap split up/down arrow keys IMO. Overpriced.
