Sorry for poking my nose in between, but didn't want to start a new thread since the requirements are almost the same.
Budget: 50-55k
Primary requirements: Full HD display, backlit keyboard, 7th gen i5 and expandable RAM.
Came across this on Amazon.
ACER ASPIRE F5-573G ( NX.GD8SI.001 ) 7th Gen Core i5 7200u / 4GB DDR4 Ram / 1 TB HDD / 2Gb GeForce® 940MX Graphics / Windows 10:Amazon:Computers & Accessories

Seems killer for the price but a quick check on Acer India's official site revealed that this actually ships with a 768p display and not the 1080p as mentioned on Amazon. Got in touch with Amazon CC but was assured that my laptop would ship with a 1080p regardless of what was mentioned on the official site.

Anybody has any clue as to who's right and who isn't? Does this really have a 1080p screen? Any other alternatives worth considering? The closest I could find to this was the HP AU116TX which is priced at 57k and going by the looks of it, doesn't look like it'll be easy to disassemble the rear panel to upgrade RAM. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. ;)

Have only seen one Acer model(Acer Aspire V3-574G) within said budget and having both backlit keypad and full HD. Not interested in Acer so don't know how good is it.

50 to 60K. I would like to keep it under 55 if possible.
Seems FULL hd ones are way above your budget(70k +). After much searching I did find one though(currently in good discount)

Buy Lenovo Ideapad 500-15ISK Notebook (80NT00L6IN) (6th Gen Intel Core i5- 8GB RAM- 1TB HDD- 39.62 cm (15.6)- Windows 10- 4GB Graphics) (Black) Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.i

Other options:

Buy HP Pavilion 15-AU111TX (7th Gen CORE i5 7200U|8GB|1TB|2GB Graphics NVIDIA|Windows 10) Silver Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.i

HP AU116TX fits the bill perfectly. Only problem is the upgradability. I don't know how easy or difficult it would be to get to the RAM and HDD. Any idea?

It's pretty easy.. All new design hp laptops are basically same in build.. So u'll find quite a lot of videos online for upgrading stuff

No 1080p display is a bummer.
Even smartphones today have qHD display so 1080p is a bare minimum

Both the HP ones are good. i5 7th gen and 6th gen in those laptops are nearly same apart from clock speed. If you can afford then go for 7th gen considering it as future proof. Apart from that, both are nearly same as per your usage.

Can't say about Ideapad as I don't know how AMD MESO XT match up against nVidia's 940MX. And Ideapad doesnt have DDR4

Went had a look at AU116tx. Looks good although the keyboard didn't look and feel good at all. Couldn't find lenovo and asus models as it's supposed to be stopped as per shop i visited. Found a Dell model in the same price range and similar config. Will check it out next week before deciding. Anyone has any experience or know any review of the dell model?

It has a weak GPU

Isn't this a lower variant of au116tx? How is it better than au116tx & Dell 5567?

au116TX is the best option for 55k & meets your requirements. If you want to save some money, get au084TX

I am really not going to play much games. AU116TX was really my choice until i saw the keyboard which is giving me doubts. I will check out the dell models coming week and decide. By the way with AU116TX, which games can be played reasonably well?

Why compromise for such low fps and 768p resolution when you can get 1080p resolution laptop and better gpu for some more money.

We dont change the laptops frequently right.
