If you are Willing to spend 85000/- I suggest you wait for 1060 capable laptop to launch in India.
Maybe a month or two.
1060 is way better than 980 plus it's a desktop class GPU.

My point being GL502 with 1060 is for $1500 on Amazon.
Certainly in 2 months Asus will release it in India.
Currently 970m GL502 sells for 120000/- so expect it's price to be lowered to 80000/- when 1060 releases.

It's pretty thin and light, plus the thickness helps it stay a lot cooler than lot of the other laptops in this category.
Also as far as after sales service is concerned asus is ur best option in the gaming laptop area, after dell that is

Btw If you want a lappy with a gpu but you won't play games, then y the dedicated gpu?
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
Dedicated gpu reduces any kind of work load , gpu supports many things besides games...ex. video editing, content creation, watching smoothly 4k movies, It takes away much of the load from cpu. Its always better to have a decent gpu in a pc

Of course, but you didn't mention you would be doing any of that either
And I don't gues 4k on a 15.3 inch monitor right?
For your 1080p movies you can easily use the Intel. Why I am stressing the need of gpu is because of the fact that decent gpu based lappies in India are overpriced. Instead you could get a lappy with good screen and use the balance cash and install an ssd on your system.

Ok so you are eyeing for a ultra book formfactor.
The only two options are -
Lenovo Thinkpad series
Dell XPS/Latitude series.
Enquire in brick and mortar store or contact the above brands directly.Get quotes and Models and take these to a local distributor to get best deal.
Ideal configuration-
i5/i7 7000 series (Avoid Core M Processors)
8 GB DDR4 RAM
1080p full HD IPS min
USB type C for future proofing
250 GB SSD
Latitude > Thinkpad in terms of value.
If you can get the notebook from States
Get this - Razer Blade Stealth 2016
$1000 - 68000/-

U might be one of the few people who fall into the exact category for whom the MacBook Air was made for.. If u have no problem paying the premium prices for it though.. I'd recommend u to check out the dell Xps series too though
Although if u r going to run Windows software u will need to install Virtual box like Vine on MacBook, so better buy a config with 8gb ram and higher storage

Actually went in the maple store yesterday .. mac air 13inch is for 66k.. mouth watering price..
But it IS older hardware.. so paying this amount for something that is obsolete even by apple (has been recently positioned as the budget mac or entry level mac) i too am wondering if it will handle win7 day in and out.
As for the razer.. hmm definately interesting but india launch and services will be a issue... will buy it for meself and junk my gaming pc plan if the core is available tho heheh
Dell latitude or xps?
Looking at the xps 13 the base version with a 1080p looks good but doesnot seem to have usb c. still not a dealbreaker... now looking if any other machines exist in similar specs.. btw any thoughts on touchscreens for laptops? Am a win 7 user but will have to upgrade someday.. so will touchscreen laptops be necessary some time down the road?
