I need to decide between asus rog gl552vw cn430t and hp Pavilion 15-au008TX. I had eliminated dell inspiron and lenovo y700 since the asus seemed like a better option.
Please advice me and if there is a better laptop than that lot, please suggest.
P. S:- i need a laptop for gaming and should have good cooling.

Among the ones you posted, both of them will perform similarly well but it'd go with the Asus just because of the design :D

There are a few other recommendations out there. Your main problem would be getting these in India. Since you're willing to pay Rs 90,000, you could get one in the US and have it shipped to India through another forwarding company.

ASUS ROG G751JY-VS71(WX) - $1479: https://www.amazon.com/G751JY-VS71-WX-17-Inch-GeForce-Version/dp/B01DT4A2K6?ie=UTF8&tag=egclptops-20

Key features: core i7-4720HQ, GTX 980M 4GB(better than the ones you posted), 16 GB RAM, 1TB HDD( i recommend switching to SSD)


MSI GE62 Apache Pro-239 - $1169(cheaper than the ASUS you posted)...

1. Budget 90,000 rupees , but i can try to extend to 1,00,000

2. Size- 15,6. Most laptops are in that size.

3. Resolution - I considered about 4k. I want a resolution for gaming.

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? More like Desktop replacement laptop

5. battery life about 2 hours. Most gaming laptops are like that right?

6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
I want to play the most demanding games like witcher 3,gta v at high.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) - not much into them

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? I wanted about 2 tb, but i can settle for 1tb(if it is expandable that would be a bonus)

9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.. Not necessarily. But i can buy from flipkart india and amazon india

10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? Preferably for 4 yrs

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? Dvd, if there is blue ray that would be great, but i don't necessarily need blue ray

13. What country do you live in? India

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed:-I thought of buying either asus rog gl552vw cn430t or hp Pavilion 15-au008TX. I had eliminated dell inspiron and lenovo y700 since the asus seemed like a better option.

If you want some more recommendations or have anything to ask, feel free. If you're gonna play for long periods of time while your laptop is plugged, get a heatpad. Also, I think you can try mild 4K gaming on the ones I recommended, not pretty sure though. A more experienced will be able to tell that better.
