if you are gonna purchase locally, you only have three choices:
1. Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) with FullHD display and GT650m (Best choice but harder to find locally)

Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

2. Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-379647) with HD display and GT750m

3. Samsung NP550P5C-S05IN Laptop with HD+ display and GT650m(Reportedly throttles and has overheating problems, also the graphics card is GDDR3, not GDDR5 like the other two )

Spoiler

Samsung NP550P5C-S05IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Samsung: Flipkart.com

I would go with the first one if I were you... But, it's harder to find locally!!!

I meant as long as its in India i can order online, i meant that i can't ship it from abroad that's all.

I too would recommend Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) with FullHD display and GT650m. Get it from Flipkart (quick).
After buying add another 8GB DDR3 RAM (Check this one @ 3.7k).
Also Y500 has an mSATA free slot. So add this 128GB SSD @ 10.3k.
Check this tutorial regarding installing mSATA SSD & copying OS to it.

To sum it up

Y500	64.5k
SSD	10.3k
RAM	3.7k
Total	78.5k

^^This is the best gaming laptop available in India for 80k(with addons)

^ GT 650M for 80k

This waiting game will go on for ever!!!

Dell updated Alienware and Y500 750m is already out.
IMHO GT 650 for 80k is joke.

This companies neglect India so bad!!!

The one I mentioned is the best available configuration presently available in India. I don't think there is hope for Y500 with FHD display & GT750M.

As far as newer laptops are concerned, it will take atleast a month for companies to refresh their line up with Haswell processor & GT7xxM or 8xxxM GPU.

That's true

Alienware for $1350 is great. But there is 0% chance that it will be priced ~75k(atleast). It would be 85k as was the previous M14x.

Hello Anupam,

this is Ekram here. A total newbie.

i just ordered my Y500 on flipkart today (the 1080p screen one).

I was very interested that I could put a SSD drive into the Y500.

I have gone through the steps in the link you mentioned, but I'm so inexperienced, I fear I'll mess up my system trying to install the SSD.

What I wanted to know was can I take it to the Lenovo service centre and get them to install this correctly?

Any other advice you have?

Thanks

Take it to Lenovo service centre & ask them to open it(opening the laptop is not so easy). Install the mSATA SSD. Close the laptop's back. Bring it back from service centre & do the software things yourself @ home.

In India, presently GT750M is the best GPU we have under 1lakh(officially from branded manufacturers). But 750M is presently only present in Y500, which doesn't have FullHD screen as its 650M counter part. So Y500 with 650M seems to be the best option under 80k until n unless you can import an ASUS or other brand laptop from US or any other country.

I'll recommend waiting till 1st week of July. Start hunting & select a laptop in 2nd week of July.

Did you read the comment by Flipkart in the link I posted in my last post ?

Go that FK link, given in your link. Scroll down, you will see 1366x768 resolution

Flipkart guys were just reading the spec given in website earlier.......that's it. Users have reported that it's HD not FHD
