2GB less RAM
50% better Graphic card.

Much better for gaming.

Thanks for the link. I checked out a couple of sites comparing the two cards, and i too found the ATI card to be providing comparatively better performance. But i had a 'not very good' history with HP and Dell laptops, so did not want to invest in these.
Another thing is that i basically need the laptop for using photoshop and some virtualization softwares like virtual box etc.

compare AMD Radeon HD 6750M and 2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M - Tech Support Forums - TechIMO.com

The above thread says that NVDIA is a better performer than ATI in softwares like photoshop due to better GPU rendering support for them over ATI.

Kulz, why dont you post your requirement. You asked us our opinion about some laptop, Ishu pointed out a better one in the same price point. If you dont mention your requirement, we can not be specific.
So, please post your requirement clearly. It will be helpful for us to suggest you.


If you are not into gaming, the ASUS laptop is good. But I dont know about ASUS service. I heard some real bad comments about their A.S.S in India from other forum members(for mainboard and graphics cards mainly). Please check that part before making any decision.

^^FYI Asus now provides on site service in most cities.You are no more dependent on whims of Rashi Peripherals.

hardly makes any difference. The processor matters for Photoshop filters. Adobe also incorporates support GPU rendering for AMD/ATi cards too.

Go for the card which gives you better FPS.

Ya, sorry for the confusion that i did not post my requirements specificly. I am just a casual gamer and play games like Counter strike and NFS. So i am not looking for the laptop as a gamer.

And as i mentioned earlier that i don't want to invest in Dell and Hp, so i checked out Asus as i heard that its performance is good. About its service, as Red dragon mentioned, they provide onsite service now which i too confirmed with the customer care.

I just wanted to confirm whether its a good laptop or not? Whether it has some serious flaws which i might be overlooking. Checked the fps of both. Its has mixed review for different games, but i too found d ATI bit outperforming Nvidia. But considering my requirements, i hope i can overlook it.

They provide onsite service in most of the cities. If not, as per they told me, they would make arrangements for shipping the laptop for service.

if they in black and white agree that they would make arrangements for shipping the laptop for service than its ok but if not after sales services could be a trouble..
