Need a laptop between 40-50k
His requirments-
-Full HD screen
-Screen size: normal(this is what he said, so mainstream size
)
-he'll be using it for mainly office work(lots of number punching) and basic home use.
-Laptop should have full numeric keypads(this is important for him)
I'm steering away from Lenovo because of their superfish fiasco, but i see no other options.
please recommend guys.

There is no laptop, in India that is, in that budget with FHD screen other than Lenovo Z50-70 or Flex 2. If you are willing to import, XOTIC PC | FORCE 16GC (29-029) w/ 860M (MSI GE60 ApachePro Barebones) is the best option around 52k.(Asking for a friend)

MSI GP60 is not much different than Z50-70. Both have underpowered DDR3 840M compared to the DDR5 860M in Force 16GC. GP60 also has half the ram and lesser HDD space compared to Force 16GC.

It's not just laptop, he buy overpriced/costlier stuff all the time. Anyway the primary reason of me recommending him laptop in lower price bracket is, the main use is office work, not gaming/media consumption.
As there are no other options, I've recommend him the z50

let it be man. We face this every now and then and the best you can do is to suggest a person and cannot force that person to buy a certain thing that is his personal opinion. Always advice and let the choice be on the other person shoulder.

What would be the best laptop for gaming at less than 40k right now? Asking for a friend.

Even 60k laptops aren't good enough for gaming.

Yeah, I mean what laptop would give you the best gaming performance on that budget. No more of these wisecracks please.

Get any laptop with GT 840M (2gb or 4 gb whichever suits your budget), 4 GB ram and i5 4210U.

840m should be the threshold when looking for a laptop that can game.

But if cant get the nvidia gt 840m in the budget u can go for a laptop with gt 740m atleast.
my friend has a laptop with gt 740m and i've seen him play far cry 3 , 4, nfs mw 2012, battlefield 3,4 at 1366x768 with playable frame rates. ( ofcourse u have to tone down graphics but u do get to experience the game play which in my opinion makes it all worth it .)

740M is 2 generation old. No point in even going for a laptop with 800M series series when 900M series was out in October last year IMHO.

But people can buy oly wat they can buy.
For 40k gt 800 or gt 900 series may not be available.

Laptops with 840M are available in that budget.
