Are these listings really real or fake?

*paytm.com/shop/p/lenovo-g50-70-cor...ows8-1-black-LAPLENOVO-G50-7MOME21052F43B9513

*paytm.com/shop/p/lenovo-thinkpad-e...dows-8-black-LAPLENOVO-THINKCOST29104E2B95DB8

*paytm.com/shop/p/lenovo-g50-70-cor...-no-bag-black-LAPLENOVO-G50-7MOME21052A81CC05

Paytm is also offering discount of upto Rs.9000/- on the mentioned price. If we see the price of these laptops on any other e-commerce site, then there is a huge difference. I smell fishy here. What do you guys say?

Why so many intel 5th gen laptops are not in Indian markets? Most of them are from HP.

When will they launched? (Dell, lenevo, acer)

Would this lenovo do good as a student laptop ? :

I have narrowed down to buying Lenovo B40-30 Notebook (Celeron Dual Core/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (Rs 22,700 online)
Features considered : less power-hungry processor, 4GB RAM, 2 or more USB ports, less than 15 inch, budget upto 25K.
If you remember any recent models that did impress, please suggest the model number...

Good 17" laptops cost 100k+ in India and around 90k (clevo/sager from xotic PC). That model you have in mind is ~2 year old and discontinued. Nobody buys laptop with 750M for 70k when you have laptops with 860M for 75k (or 960M for ~80k, clevo/sager laptops)

Don't fall for 5th gen i7 gimmick, most are just ULV dual cores.
