Suggestions for a performance laptop for about 70k

[tejjammy]

1) What is your budget? ₹70k (willing to extend a bit)


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

• Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?

The most used programs would be Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom as I'm looking for a laptop which is good for photo editing.

5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
7th Gen i5 or 6th gen i7 HQ proccy, 8GB RAM, decent GPU and extra slot for SSD upgrade

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
N/A

6) Anything else you would like to say?

• Screen resolution full HD IPS panel is a must. do not need touch.
• Battery back up ( normal (3-4hrs))
• Purchase place : within India, whichever option is cheap.

I have looked at a few options which fit my requirements. Could anyone help me choose or suggest new options :

Either assemble a desktop or buy an overpriced laptop in India or get one from USA through a friend. Those which you mentioned above are not worth over 50k

You need good sRGB coverage for the intended tasks (98% and above). These stupid "budget" laptops in India don't have it.

Sorry can't keep a desktop right now. Also, I don't have the option to get it from the US. Do you have any suggestions with the above restrictions?

full HD IPS panel is a must

Out of the 4 options given by you,you seem to suggest that MSI,Dell & HP models have IPS screen which I doubt unless you have seen it with your own eyes in a showroom.

HP ONLINE STORE

15.6" diagonal FHD IPS UWVA anti-glare WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080)

GL62M 7RD | Laptops - The best gaming laptop provider | MSI Global

15.6" Full HD (1920x1080), IPS level panel (Optional)

New Inspiron 15 5000 Gaming (Intel®) | Dell India

15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display

That leaves only HP as the sole option for you with confirmed official specification of "IPS Panel".
