Hi guys, Please help me out with this query. I am moving to Germany in a month and I need to buy a new laptop. I am confused if i should buy one here or buy after going there. I am getting mixed responses from friends so am confused. My main concern is the warranty. Thanks for the help.

You will always get a much better laptop for same price abroad(developed nations/financial centres). Warranty is usually for a year so if you plan to stay in Germany for that long then it is a no-brainer.

I have bought a MSI GL62M 7REX (i5 7300HQ) Gaming Laptop from Singapore.
How can I avail Warranty here in India? I know that MSI does not provide international warranty.
But can I buy extended warranty from 3rd parties who offer?
If so who are best in providing Laptop warranty in India?
Please reply asap.
Thanks,
bssunil

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen
Desktop Replacement; 17"+ screen


3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Basically my preference is for the laptop that can run the software like 3ds Max(2017),ZBrush,Photoshop,Substance Painter,. Mostly these kind of sftwr. Also I was looking for laptop that can run the games like Far CRy 5,Assassin Creed series.

Nope I am open to all the brands. However my friend suggested me the MEDION ERAZER.

So I was not sure whether to go for it or not.

I have a Dell Vostro 3446, bought in 2014. Now it was a good machine back then,i5 4th Gen Intel processor, 4gb DDR 1333mhz ram and a 500gb HDD with Nvidia 820m.
Now,I don't need a laptop for casusluse anymore. And I run burp suite (a Java based proxy tool which at times takes 2-4gb ram), or a Kali Linux virtual box, mild usage of android studio to run debug for applications. To be starightforward,I am not into application development,but I am a pentester or web application security testing guy.
So,shall I upgrade my ram to a 8gb 1333mhz from Kingston or some other good brand? There is only one ram stick slot,so I have to get rid of the older stick and buy a new one. This will cost me around 5k. Is that a sensible investment? And continue using this laptop. Or should I move away from this machine and look for a future proof and goodgood machine in the range of 50-60k.

Are you able to push your processor usage beyond 80-90% for extended duration?If not then keep using it after adding ram &,if possible,a ssd.

Just saw this on Amazon 15k discount
It says 1050ti but other sites are showing 1050. Can someone confirm.
And is it worth buying as i am not going to use for 2 months personal reason so should I wait or go ahead with it.

As per this,the one with i5 7300HQ comes with 1050Ti.
Laptops | View All Our Laptops | Acer Solutions

Usually once a month or so there is a offer on acer gaming laptops on flipkart under which one can get a 1050Ti gaming laptop for ~60k & 1060 laptop for ~80k.

Wait for laptops with 8th gen H proccys to hit the Indian market. Don't go below 1050Ti and fill the questionnaire as well.

HP 15- BS180TX on paytm
Probably your best option in the budget (post cashback). Every laptop has a HD screen these days. Acer's build quality is not upto the mark in India.

I would've suggested an Asus laptop but those are not in your budget. You have to sacrifice on windows if you want 8GB ram and i5-8250U in your budget.

OK then np on win I will Install it myself I can extend my budget to 45k
Since your sister won't be needing a GPU:
Buy Lenovo IdeaPad 320 81BG00SLIN 39.62 cm (15.6 Inch) FHD Laptop (8th Gen Core i5-8250U/8GB/1TB/Windows 10) (Platinum Grey) Online at Low Prices in India - Paytmmall.com

Do note that instead of trying to remove bloatware from a new laptop, it is better to just do a clean install of the OS. You won't need to use pirated windows. Don't buy antivirus when free ones (not pirated) work good enough.

I suggest buying only from "Brand Authorized Seller" on paytmmall for high value products like laptops.

Also don't buy just after seeing pics/videos,go to brand exclusive showrooms in your city(aka no chroma,reliance digital etc) to check these models personally.Something that looks good online(build quality,design etc) may not be as good in reality.You may also get better warranty deals in offline shops,if available prefer those instead of saving a few thousands on buying from online shops.
