So its time for me to replace my trusty old XPS 15. I need a good laptop that can provide the grunt when i want and be portable yet eye-catching 
I have endured this XPS for like 4.5 years already. So, I was looking to get myself a solid machine that could last me another 3-4 years. I can import the laptop from the US if need be.
1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
150,000/- (max)
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Thin and Light;
15" screen is preferable.
3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
Apart from basic college stuff, web design and app development.
Gaming is not of main importance, but maybe, once in a blue moon.
5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eyeing for ?
Nah.
Battery Life. My college is hell in terms of electricity.
4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: Dell, Apple
b. Dislike: HP (bad experience, very bad)
6) Anything else you would like to say?
The product can be bought online or from the US. All I need is the best blend of portability and power.
I have homed in on the Dell XPS 15 9530 fully specced (from US): 140,000 ish after discounts etc.
4th Generation Intel® Quad Core™ i7-4712HQ processor (6M Cache, up to 3.3 GHz)
16GB DDR3L 1600MHz (8GBx2)
512GB Solid State Drive
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 750M 2GB GDDR5
15.6 inch LED Backlit Touch Display with Truelife and QHD+ resolution (3200 x 1800)
91 WHr, 6-Cell Battery (integrated)
3 year global accidental warranty
Or the Macbook Pro 15" Retina 2014 (India). Only one year warranty for 152,000 (student discount)
Then I laid my eyes on the Razer Blade... lovely machine but the after sales will be an issue. Can anyone please suggest an alternative? OS X seems inviting enough though.
