Visited Nehru Place market in Delhi today and went to Lenevo, HP and Dell showrooms. Had a look at Lenevo Y510P, HP Envy 15-j109TX and Dell 7537 (Actually saw one model lower than Y510P and 7537 as they were not available). Without talking much about specs, here are quick comments:

Lenevo Y510P: Number keypad area sags when keys are pressed, fingerprints on the laptop body easily seen (though not a major problem), Saw how DVD drive caddy bay can be replaced, was told that it can be replaced with HDD or Graphics Card or Cooling, Best price 72500/-

HP j109TX: Finding it hard to use the mouse pad (deal breaker for me), Looks really good / sleek, DFG keypad area sags (don't like that), Best price 78800/- Touch, 69000/- Non-Touch + Free DVW+Goodies

Dell 7537: Looked good to me, solid & I liked it, i7-4500U :(, Best price: 80000/-with bag

Update:
- One downside with Y510P: It has only 1 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, 2 USB 2.0 (one always on). Others have total 4 with 2 2.0 and 2 3.0. This would be a limitation, isn't it?
- Any idea on fan noise on Y510P and other models?
- Any idea on how Y510P's battery area heats up on usage? (my current old HP laptop has both these problems).
- Y510P comes with Windows 8. I surely wanted upgrade to Windows 8.1. Can this be done on my own and free?

Are you saying ASUS ROG 15.6" is better than Lenovo Ideapad Y510p?

ASUS ROG is the best 15.6" laptop in India right now.

Y510p has 2 USB 3.0 ports.
Y510p is relatively silent when compared to other gaming laptops.
Win 8.1 is free.

Asus G750JX-CV069P Laptop (4th Gen Ci7/ 24GB/ 1.5TB/ Win8 Pro/ 3GB Graph) (Black) Price: Rs.199999 -- FlipKart, Too Expensive, I would like to be under 1L with all add-ons (like 128GB/256GB SSD)

Y510p Specs is telling me: 1 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, 2 USB 2.0 (one always on) -- Not sure if I am reading it right

My need is not as much for gaming as it is for Productivity/SoftDevelopment/Speed/Quality(KB, display, etc). Just to provide a perspective: On 1-10 scale if gaming is 4 then productivity would be 10.

Right, Win8.1 is free but can I upgrade Y510p without facing any problem? I read couple of postings (google) where people faced issues with 8.1 and had to revert back to 8.0.
