Hey guys, My dad's laptop is facing a strange issue. When the laptop boots up, The screen colour is warm. and yellowish,. When the notification button in the right corner is pressed, the screen tone changes to cool, blueish. It stays like that for about a minute, then turn to warm again. It is AMD ryzen 5 based asus vivobook. The problem is not with driver, as i have tried updating, reinstalling them. I even reinstalled windows, but still it aint fixing it. Please suggest a solution ASAP cause it causes a lot of strain in eyes.
Best way to rule out any hardware issue, check with some live linux usb.

Hi all, any thoughts on the below link? i mean does it look genuine and good deal?

Acer Predator Helios 300 Core i5 10th Gen - (16 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060/144 Hz) PH315-53-594S Gaming Laptop

*www.flipkart.com/acer-predator-hel...n=homepage&ssid=xgw5rpk80lp0otmo1602957896560

This one is almost same but has a 1650ti for 20k less price. Even if i had a budget of 100k, it would have been difficult for me to ignore the extra premium being asked for the GPU upgrade..

It is coming & going out of stock since the sale started, you need to check the product page every 10-15 min.
actually there are 2 models of A715-41G. The one with Ryzen 7 3750H and with 3550H. 3550H is available with both FK and acer store at 54,990. Here's a comparison link. Please suggest.

The first one with ryzen 3550H was available on flipkart for 44990 & 2nd one with 3750H is available for 54990 & first one was a steal deal at 42k for most users unless they don't like extra weight or design of this model. 2nd one with 3750H is not such a good deal considering you can still get i5 9300H version of same 1st model on flipkart at 49990-2750=47240.

1660Ti is almost 30-40% faster than 1650Ti, so definitely worth it for gamers. Laptop 1660Ti is more powerful than Xbox One X & likely Series S' GPU as well, so helps with longevity in terms of game support.

This will perform better as i5 9300H is a bit better than even R7 3750H (in games & productivity by 5-10%):
Acer Aspire 7 Core i5 9th Gen - (8 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/4 GB Graphics/NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650/60 Hz) A715-75G-50SA Gaming Laptop Rs.79999 Price in India - Buy Acer Aspire 7 Core i5 9th Gen - (8 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/4 GB Graphics/NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650/60 Hz) A715-75G-50SA Gaming Laptop Charcoal Black Online - Acer : Flipkart.com
But I have my reservations about its thermal solution.

If you can clone OS to SSD yourself, then get this Nitro 5 + 500GB M.2 SSD (Kingston A2000 or WD SN550) for 5k:
Amazon.in
Amazon.in: Buy Kingston 500GB A2000 M.2 2280 Nvme Internal SSD PCIe Up to 2000MB/S (SA2000M8/500G) Online at Low Prices in India | Kingston Reviews & Ratings
You have to contact Acer support for SSD installation though, they charge 500 for it.

Otherwise, get this:

The above is currently OOS. also the MSI model which was available before @ 94K is also not available currently, the only nearest option now is Acer predator @99k.

Saw the Intel version of 49990. Since I don't have sbi card will have to buy on listed price only. If only it was available on Amazon. Have you heard any review or user opinions on this? I am not going to use it for much gaming anyways. Do you know any drawbacks of this model? Only thing I saw was it didn't come with pre installed office.

Intel version runs hotter & acer nitro 5 model will need some tweaking on your part to control the temps a bit in case you decided to play games on it for long duration but for typical usage & some occasional gaming it should be fine.
@omega44-xt

There is similar model available on amazon with a bit higher price & ryzen 3550H processor which is also a bit weaker than i5 9300H but also runs cooler.

I think Nitro 5 with i5 & 1650 should be fine, at least it has 2 fans & a decent number of heat pipes, no idea about the cooling of Aspire 7.

Out of stock. Under 40k is a great price for those specs considering you barely even get i3 + SSD under 40k these days. R5 3500U performs similar to i5 U & G suffix CPUs.

This is good for 30k, obviously inferior to previous one:
Amazon.in

Thanks, yeah most of them are out of stock

I think people are buying crazy or stock is very less.

So will look for ryzen5 under 40k with 8gb ram and ssd

The laptop I mentioned was there for 30 mins and went out of stock
