^That Inspiron looks very cool. Just a query, if I buy Alienware from US, will I get warranty cover in India?

i think no.
Even if dell provides global/international warranty, it means that someone must purchase in US, and if he shifts in india, he can port his warranty too..
If you just buy it from US and make it ship here, no warranty will be entertained..

And i too think inspiron 17R SE would be ideal for you, designing on a 3D screen would be mindblowing..

I know, but come on, its has a extremely fast CPU, a really fast GPU, 8GB RAM, what's not to like? I am thinking to buy this when I move out, for gaming, a one lakh lappy won't be much faster than that(maybe a 660m, a ssd etc).

that's true, but if you see, OP has main needs for photoshop, designing etc.
So a FHD with 17.3" would be ideal.
Then, this samsung has a matte screen, though non-reflective, but gives washed out colors compared to non-matte screens, which is definitely not recommended for graphics work, unless you mostly work in well-lit areas (outdoors, highly lighted rooms, where matte could have an advantage.)
And about the performance, you're right that a 1lac lappy won't have that high performance than this samsung, but considering the above things, this samsung is not recommended to OP..

Yes you get. Just got Inspiron 17R SE from US. My friend carried it here to India. It took just 1 day to get the warranty transferred to India. 345 days of my warranty are remaining I suppose.

Check this out.

You can use this to get the warranty transferred.

Bro? There are other laptops at that budget, way better than Samsung. If you didn't know, Samsung has a 2GB DDR3 Graphics, while Dell 17 has GDDR5 2GB. Where Dell gets an edge. Plus, 32GB SSD for bootup, plus FHD, plus 3D with 2 glasses, plus backlit keyboard.
What more do you expect?
You don't get these things again and again. Well, if you have a 100k budget and utilize just 60k of it, only to feel that, you shouldn't have cut off the budget when you could have got something better. Then well, it's no use.
But, if I were you, I would have got 1 laptop for about 60k, used it for a couple of years. Then would have got a new one of about 60k. So, you wouldn't have to use the same old config again and again.

Yes, you can transfer your address and talk to dell representatives about this, one of the user bought Inspiron 17R 3D recently from US and he gets warranty in India.
