All of the listed laptops below are available locally at prices near-about the ones listed.

You read that price right, and the specs as well. If you're wondering how two fulls-size GTX 1080s in SLI can stay cool inside a laptop when gaming at 4K resolution, they can't. You'll need to hook up the external liquid-cooling dock to unlock the GX800's full potential to desktop levels of performance. The specs at first glance question if this is actually a compact desktop or a notebook, as the battery life barely scrapes past an hour and a half. It should be considered as a backup power sources when there is a power cut rather than being a means of powering the notebook on-the-go. The GX800 is more of an engineering masterpiece than an actual gaming machine, but it surely is capable at doing what it's designed for.

As you already might have figured out in life, almost everything good comes with even the tiniest pinch of bad to balance it out. To your surprise, this all-rounder from Asus compromises very little when it comes to the specsheet, namely, the screen. Although a 1080p unit, the screen falls behind in the brightness and contrast department, but other than that has brilliant performance figures to back its price tag. The seventh gen Core i7 processor combined the GT940 GPU will let you to play most 2015-16 games on high settings as well as newer titles at medium to low settings with decent fps. One tip to keep in mind before buying that the X556 series come in a plethora of options, from i3 models to ones with only a 512GB SSD instead of an HDD, but all have a dedicated GPU. We suggest the model with the specs listed above for a balance in all departments.

The one with the tricks HP Spectre x360

The 2-in-1 form factor has become quite popular in the recent years and manufacturers are justifying their high prices with matching specs. These notebooks have proven to be the best at media consumption as they eliminate the need for something on the lines of a tablet for media consumption and another separate device for when it comes to getting work done. The Spectre x360 is our pick for this segment with the beautiful slim styling and great battery life being the key pros. If you're looking for a budget convertible, you should be looking at the entry-level Lenovo Yoga series instead. If you're looking for a beautiful display paired with excellent specs and long-lasting battery in a slim, modern chassis, this absolutely lives upto its price tag.

Notebooks are not the first choice for photo and video editors, since you can get a lot more for the buck if you're building a desktop PC. But if you want to survive in this traffic-laden country, you will need to spend some big bucks to get some serious work done on-the-go. The GE62 comes with a full-size GTX1060 with the seventh gen Core i7 and 16GB of DDR4 memory, making it stellar for demanding tasks like video editing. This particular model is a happy medium in MSI's lineup of gaming/production notebooks; the GP62 is a slightly lower specced version with a GTX1050Ti and 8GB of RAM, and the GF73 has a massive 17.3" FHD display with the same specs as the GE62. If you are able to shell out some more for a higher resolution display, you should be heading towards the Dell XPS 15 but if you want stellar all-round performance and reliability, the latest Macbook Pro is what you should be looking at.
