The laptop starts at 1019 USD. Similar to XPS pricing in USA. Also I mentioned that model to show non-gaming laptops are available with powerful processors.

Reference:Latitude 5591 15 Inch Powerful Business Laptop | Dell United States

Looks like it is on sale on Dell's website. I did see that i5 model w/o GPU for $1400 in Amazon US.

Good for your friend. But is the same model sold in India ? I would prefer to pay extra and go for the Helios series.

Acer should be retarded to build 2 different models of same laptop for different regions, production wise doesn't make sense. In any case, no harm in checking.

Helios 300 is definitely better but is bulkier as well when compared to Asus TUF.

OP doesn't need the laptop for gaming. The same laptop with GTX 1050Ti has been on sale for 75k a few times, so better to get that.

1)Prices on Amazon depends on seller. Always take the prices of manufacturer as reference.

2) It's not a question of intelligence. In order to target specific price range, they will changes in the specs. This was the case in their Aspire series. They were selling fullhd+8th gen intel CPU and nvidia graphics card. But in India they sold it with 1366*768 resolution. The Fullhd model they sold here didn't have the nvidia gpu. Why do they do this ? they can't compete with Dell or HP if they price their products like them. So in order to keep prices down, they do stuff like this.

Changing the display panel is easier than the making 2 different motherboards/chassis with a different cooling system like it would add to production costs. Cooling systems don't cost as much as a display or GPU, so better to keep just 1 which they designed. Do note that India still doesn't have the Predator Helios 300 found in US, Indian model lacks 144Hz display, but it is exactly the same otherwise (talking about GTX 1060 variant).

My Dell laptop doesn't have a backlit keyboard whereas first world countries had a backlight keyboard. So I know how companies cut costs. Dell is just overpriced in India a lot, kind of like Apple. Their laptops have much more competitive prices in the US.

Missing M.2 Slots, GPU with reduced RAM size are also some of the things manufactures do.Also manufactures have multiple factories and assembly lines. Additional production costs is not a deterrent if it increases sales. Anyway we are deviating from the purpose of thread.

My point is OP must make sure the model sold in India is exactly same as the one mentioned in reviews he reads/views.

I don't think there are any good Indian reviewers, esp for gaming laptops as many reviewers don't measure internal temperatures, don't know why. I'm 99% sure, gaming laptops in India are the same as ones available in international markets, except for screen, keyboard, CPU, RAM, HDD & SSD variants. Everything else remains the same. 50k is a lot of money in India & not many people buy laptops costing 50k+, so even budget gaming laptops don't sell much.

That's some great deal. It is very close to US pricing of Acer Predator Helios 300 with 144Hz display. At least Asus & Acer are trying to give good laptops at a decent price to Indians.

Congrats. Do post a review of the laptop. It will help others. Also I'm curious of that 120hz screen. I wonder how it will affect on non-gaming usage.
