I already purchased an ASUS ROG GL552JX-CN316T around October. It had terrible backlight bleeding and I contacted customer care for it. After replacing the screen a couple of times and failing to solve the issue they recently refunded the entire amount to me ~78k (good on them).
I am now looking to purchase another laptop and have shortlisted GL552JX, Lenovo Y50 and Dell Inspiron 7559. Unfortunately each of these has its own issues.
* GL552JX - cheap but has 950 instead of 960 and that too with DDR3 memory. My experience with it has not been very good due to the screen issue. Other people seem to have fared better.
* Lenovo Y50 - Lenovo build quality leaves a lot to be desired. My brother has a Z50-70 and it is not very good. The Lenovo Y50 thread on this forum has a number of complaints about failing components after one year of use. The newer Y50 with an IPS screen has some complaints about backlight bleeding on Flipkart.
* Dell Inspiron 7559 - Core i7 variant is quite expensive (92k on Dell website) although I might be able to get it for cheaper (~88k hopefully) in Nehru Place or Laxmi Nagar if it is available with retailers. Screen is not very good, based on following review -
Inspiron 7000 15" (7559) Quick Review | NotebookRevie
Standard questionnaire responses for this forum are as follows -
1. Budget
- 85,000 (can extend to 95,000)
2. Size and weight
- 15.6 inch screen. Weight is not much of an issue.
3. Primary usage
- Gaming and game development (Unity, Unreal)
4. Brand preference
- Slight bias towards Dell (owned an Inspiron 1420 for six years, pretty decent)
5. Typical config
- Nvidia 950 at minimum. Core i7 preferred.
6. Additional
- IPS screen with decent color and response time for gaming. A good TN panel with good brightness/contrast will work too since viewing angles are not very important. Must be 1080p at least (not that I expect a 2160p screen at this price point
). I would prefer a laptop with few reported screen issues - backlight bleeding, flickering, etc.
