There are two choices I saw online.
Alienware 15 with GTX 970M costs $1425 (included offer discount)
SAGER NP8651 with GTX 970M costs $1182
If there is some better laptop than these, tell me. I am buying from US in the end of May.
The advantage of alienware over sager for an extra $243 is that I will get an IPS panel 1080p display, 8-cell battery, genuine pre-loaded windows 8.1, ability to shift country warranty, brand value in India as well reselling, because I live in India.
The advantage of sager over alienware is that it is the cheapest option with my requirements, thinner (25mm) and lighter weight (2.6kg), even it has smaller 4 cell battery, it will provide good battery backup of 3-4 hours.
