I was searching for a laptop in 50k range. I went through thousands of reviews on various sites to decie between AMD based and Intel based laptops. After reading the reviews, didn’t have guts to buy AMD based laptops....Most reviews suggested that the temperature of these could go to 70 degrees celsius. So decided in favour of Intel.....
This laptop costs about 56k but I found it the best for this price among the recognised vendors like Acer, Dell etc. It dosen’t get heated much....Even after working continously for six hours, the base was just slightly hot not much...
The laptop has the following configuration:-

The only cons, I felt was that the screen is not anti-glare...
Other than that.....It is great...
