the Asus K53SV - SX521V and SX521D thread
heykooldude
Right off the assembly line
@54k they could have shipped it with 635M GPU.
I am more disappointed at the pricing of Asus N56VM.Was launched couple of days ago and the MRP is Rs 89000.Expected to be around the 70k range.
Few have raised concerns with the pixellation during videos(in this thread itself) and related display issues of K53SV.
Is it an one off issue or is it more prevalent?

But still guys it has 3rd gen i7 and I think the price is justified considering that it has got a great processor.

2nd gen i7 and 3rd gen i7 both will be priced same. we'll see laptops with same processor & better GPU at this price once others start launching similar laptops.
Great in what sense?

You can inquire with your local dealers and compare their price quotes. I ordered this yesterday in Flipkart. I guess they should give a laptop bag with it...not sure.

If you bargain in local market, you will get it at a lower price.
And yes you will get a carry bag if you buy it from flipkart
Thats only I'm asking, care to explain?

Bro by that I mean, we all know how good the performance of 2nd gen i7 was and 3rd gen is supposed to be quite better than that and also we all know how for much these processors cost. So I think its ok if they are selling it for around 55k as they are giving very good build quality with a good amount of RAM and HDD also.

You can get this laptop nearly 2K cheaper with MD computers. I called them today and they quoted "37960 INR" as their price.

Cost & place of purchase ??
Cost & place of purchase ??
Hey Everyone,
I have bought an ASUS K53SM-SX010D notebook. I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit running on it. I have some concerns.
Firstly, the bios doesn't give the option to boot using usb. Do I have to update the bios or if not, then how to enable usb as a booting device.
Secondly, its showing the hard disk to be 700 gigs. Is it normal. Also it has created a c drive of 690 gigs. Can i split it without formatting ?
Thirdly, it wont show nvidia gt 630 m as my graphics adaptor. What's up with that.
I'll be thankful if someone can guide me.

use windows Bios update utility to update your bios if there is any new release.
if it came with Windows7 preloaded, it'll have some kind of recovery partition. The 30-40Gb is used for that.
run GPU_Z and at the bottom there will be an option to choose graphics adapter. There should be HD3000 as well as GT630. Or if it doesn't show up, update drivers.
USB boot may be disable by default, as its in maximum cases. Just tinker with optiosn to enable it. No point that it shouldn't be there.
Hardly 15GB is used in that.
(12 in my case)Graphical switching.

1. It does have usb option. I have used it.
2. Yes you can. Just resize the partition from windows.
3. You can see it in device manager.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Regarding windows it was not preloaded. I installed it and it takes 16 gigs of space from the approx 700 gigs it shows. The notebook originally came with DOS. The point is that it shows the total space on the HD to be 700 gigs. I just want to know what could have caused it.
I Hope someone can put some perspective to it.
Thanks Again.
