Oh that looks nice. Still, 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for my workflow. I currently have 2 split panes on a screen and want to have 3 now. A triple 1440p or a (dual 1440 + 1 1080p) is what I'm dreaming of.

I'm also looking for one. Are there cheaper options available? My use case is non-gaming - just want a lot of screen space for programming.

Guys, can you provide links from where I can buy spare chargers for this laptop? I wanna get a couple spare chargers to keep at workstations. I'm expecting genuine Asus chargers, but is there some commonly used good 3rd party brand that provides chargers for this model as well?

Just got it delivered. Got it from paytm. Looking good. Fiddling with Windows stuff and setting some basic stuff up. Later will take out time to properly set up Arch Linux, maybe as dual boot with Windows. Thanks for the suggestion guys!

Much obliged! How'd I miss that! It's so tempting to wait around a bit for for some paytm cashback option to appear. Or for the ebay seller to restock. Anyway, will probably get it from paytm in the next few days. What a waste of 10k... I won't be using Windows at all :(

Those garg enterprises guys just aren't responding to any queries via ebay :( - - - Updated - - - Oh lord... Even the version with Windows (which is 10k+ costlier) is not available anywhere online. Not even available offline at Nehru Place (Delhi)... the Asus showroom guys said check back...

Alright, got it. Thanks a lot, guys. Any other place where I can get that Asus model? The ebay listing has ended. I've dropped them a message, but still waiting for reply. I hope they don't say that they won't re-stock it.

^ Alright, got it :) Hey, SaiyanGoku, I noticed in some of your posts, you've also been recommending Azom systems for custom builds. Would you say that the Asus ROG laptop you recommended completely fits my needs, or would I possibly gain anything better by asking these Azom guys for a a...

That looks real good. And it comes without Windows, which is awesome. Only 4GB RAM though, which I'll have to extend. Would I have to remove it and get 2 8GB sticks if I want to have 16GB? That listing has also ended... I'll have to ask those guys if they plan to open a new listing. Any other...

I need a new programming laptop. I have a broad budget of 50k to 1L as I'm not sure if what I need can be obtained in a lower price, though I'm willing to spend up to 1L on it if needed. The laptop will run Linux and will be used exclusively for programming and browsing. No gaming, really...

Hmm.. do they have a tablet in the 10' range in their linup? I'm definitely in need of one of those.

I've been calling their CC number for a week and they were absolutely no help. But today I sent a mail to helpdesk.delhi@bol.net.in describing the issue, and I just got a call from them now. According to them I've been assigned the 512kbps unlimited plan... even though the registration receipt I...

I just got an MTNL Delhi 1MBPS connection last week. I did the modem configuration stuff myself (by following some blog post... actually everything was automatic... I just set the VPI/VCI thing) since the technician had no clue how to set things up in Linux. But my speed has been consistently...

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thanks. Can I do better than a TP Link TD W8816 at the same price point (~Rs. 800)?
