Need laptop buying advice

[unstopabl3]

Guys need to purchase a laptop, I don't mind a used one as long as it's in near perfect condition and not used much.

Here are my requirements:


Need a mid-performance all round performance laptop, not a hardcore gamer but won't mind playing latest games with good performance.
I will mostly use the laptop for running latest Autodesk 3D softwares, running Virtual Machines, watching movies and gaming sometimes.

The laptop design should be slim, sleek and professional looking, not bulky or oldie.


i5 or i7 CPU

4 or 8 GB RAM

500 - 1 TB HDD 7200 RPM


Optional things if I increase my budget:

SSD HDD

Dedicated GPU



My budget is 60K but can increase it to 80K for the right laptop.


Fire away guys!

Thanks in advance.

That's the issue, if I research and like something online it's hard to find that exact model+specifications in the local markets here.

So I like to ask the local users about their experience to make an informed decision before spending 60-80K

P.S

After visiting the local market, I got even more confused as what to buy since there are tonz of options and no real reviews on the different variations of laptops available.

I was surprised to see that international warranty laptops were cheaper than local warranty laptops and laptops which had integrated graphics were more expensive than the ones which had a dedicated GPU in the same model.

Any idea what's up with these things???

people don't understand what international warranty is..

for example if you buy a Dell laptop in Australia model xyz and it has international warranty... then if it gets defective when you are in Pakistan the exact dell model xyz has to be in Pakistan market by Dell only then it could be repaired otherwise you have to send back to Australia or in country where exact model is available

so i think those international warranty laptops are cheaper because they are not officially available in Pakistan by manufacturers


about other thing dedicated gpu cheaper than integrated is out of my knowledge
