[Arnav]

Budget -> Rs. 60000

Screen -> 15" 1920x1080

Primary Uses -> Programming, Gaming, Photo Editing

Battery -> Average battery life of about 4-5 hrs for programming needs.

Specs preferred -> i5 8th gen, GTX 1050 4g, 8gb RAM, 1tb HDD

Misc -> The laptop should be compatible with Linux installations.
SSD is not necessary

I was thinking about buying the MSI GL63 8rc. Is it worth?
Or should I buy the Dell G5 from the USA?

If you can import, don't hesitate. Laptops in India are way overpriced.

Actually importing is kind of my last resort because of International Warranty issue.
Could you please tell me which laptop should i buy in my budget in both India or USA

How much import duties are imposed on laptops? And do brands like Asus,Dell or Acer actually honour international warranty here? I am really frustrated with the laptop options in India and seriously considering getting one from Amazon USA. Thanks.

Do not import directly. Stupid takes would increase the price by 50%.
Try to get it via someone coming over to India. They should honour international warranty for the models that are also sold here.

If you know someone in US, ask them to bring the laptop, otherwise, it makes no sense as import duties + shipping will make it similar to Indian price.

I'd say wait for sales in Flipkart. You can get an i5 7300HQ + GTX 1050Ti powered laptop for 60-62k.
