the Asus K53SV - SX521V and SX521D thread

[gameranand]

You don't get 750GB out of a 750GB HDD. You'll get 698-700GB only.

Its a bit-byte concept. Normally 1 kilo means 1000 but here 1 kilo means 1024.

 

[s@m]

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 ?


Its normal because usually some memory space is system resreved.
To split your primary partition without formatting use "EASEUS partition master " Software.Its available for free on net. Its good software when it comes to splitting of drives(tried and tested). Windows device manager isnt that reliable. It doesnt work for all versions of windows.

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

My Asus K53SM-SX010D arrived today from Flipkart. Did not get a laptop bag

 

[gameranand]

Ordered Asus K53SM-SX010D from MD Computers for 37960INR for a friend of mine.

Oh thats sad....
I don't what flipkart is upto these days, their prices are all time and now this....
They are just getting customers because of their good delivery mainly

 

[trublu]

Yeah, I've ordered 3-4 items from Flipkart, their delivery is quite satisfactory.

On a side note, the placement of various ports/jacks on the SX010D is quite odd.

EDIT : I had written to Flipkart about the laptop bag, they replied this :

"We regret to inform you that the laptop bag for the above mentioned laptop is not included in the sales package and will have to be purchased separately. Incase the laptop comes with a laptop bag, the same would be mentioned on our website."

Specially the charging port?

 

[trublu]

Exactly. Charging ports are usually placed at the back/ end of the side panel.. atleast not where I would generally expect a LAN/Audio Jack

 

[gameranand]

Now flipkart thinks that they are king and people will buy at any price. Its been some months since I purchased anything from them. Now I prefer Infibeam because of low prices. Their delivery time is also quite good to say the least.

How is the gaming performance and battery life of the sx01D laptop? I'm thinking of getting one..!!

 

[gameranand]

Haven't used SX-010D but game should run fine as I have tested that GPU and it runs game fine on the native res although don't expect too much. TESCV gave shutter issues at native resolution but the other games released in 2010, 2011 runs fine apart of few exceptions like witcher 2, bf3.

Hey Guys, I'm confused. Will it worth to buy this ASUS Laptop @ this price. Please let me know asap..

Config:
Intel Core i7
8GB DDR3
750GB HDD
1GB NVIDIA GRAPHICS [GT 520MX not 540M/630M]
15.6” LED

+ 3 Years Mfg. Warranty
+ ASUS original Back Pack

Rs. 42,500

I guess its a good deal but is it good the GT 520MX one ?? and Overall what you think ?

 

[aroraanant]

^^^^
The deal looks good.

 

[gameranand]

If you'll play games then 520MX is not good enough. You need atleast 540M. Other than that its good.

 

[Lord]

Guys, Which One will Perform better for Gaming :

Intel Core i7
8GB DDR3
1GB NVIDIA GRAPHICS GT 520MX

.vs.

Intel Core i5
4GB DDR3
2GB NVIDIA GRAPHICS GT 540M/630M

Please let me know your opinion with little Explainations.

 

[gameranand]

The second one will perform better. You see games mostly uses GPU to do their work. CPU should be good enough that ij doesn't bottleneck the GPU and i5 is more than capable for that. Some games are CPU hungry but i5 is fast enough to take care of them as well.

Is 4 GB RAM sufficient ?

And how much for Asus K53SV in MD Computers when you bought it ?
