ULV i7 + 940M :rofl:

I'm not surprised to see OEMs selling laptops with dual core CPUs at this price or anything above 50k. After all, general Indian buyer is a noob.

Don't buy from there.

At Paytm u can get Indian version for 63k.
In Ebay coupons won't apply as it's handpicked deal.

Comparision betwn imported and Indian version-
1. TN panel vs IPS display
2.4GB vs 8GB RAM
3.Free Dos vs Windows 8.1
4.1 year Global vs 1 year global + 2 year Asus Back 2 School warranty

Only 1 point is 4 GB VRAM on imported but it hardly matters.

At paytm u can get it for 70k -9k(Casbback) =63k

So u cant buy these stuff in 3 k right
-IPS Panel -10k
-4 GB Ram -2k
-Windows 8.1 -4-6k
-Warranty-4-5k

So better buy from Paytm seller is authorised officially by Asus.

I bought from Garg. And I regret.Should have waited.
NVM doesn't matter.

I contacted Asus and they told that you get only one year Global warranty.
Display a kind of flickers in between sometimes and my headphone jack is terrible.

Currently my bro is using it for basic office work so he won't notice such things.

When he subsequently brings his laptop to Pune I will service it.

I have Y510p and I see a vast difference between 1080p panels on both of them.

As for Windows I installed Technical Insider Preview on it so will get W10 for 1 year at least.
Then finding a good deal will purchase a key

Moreover, 4GB vram is a big blus with today's games and will be helpful in harnessing the gtx950m's power.
4gB ram can be upgraded but not the vram.
1 extra year warranty is also a big plus.

Y510p vs asus, which display do you find better?

Can you explain how?
Well it's not a higher end GDDR5 card so it doesn't matter.
On GDDR3 you cannot max out Witcher 3.

It's a AAA+ game.

So you get GDDR3 2 GB vs 4GB the performance difference is less noticeable.

You can benchmark it always.

If it was 965 GDDR5 it would vastly excel.

How bad is the flicker?Is it a deal breaker?I wont game that much,so 4 GB RAM isn't much of a problem with me.I can upgrade later as and when necessary.Only issue i am worried before buying is the flicker.

Distinct if you max out good titles.
Daily use it won't bother you.

Even worse option.

Guys just go to local authorised Asus dealer. Ask him for a quote. If within 65k pull the trigger or get from Garg Enterprises Ebay.

Those whi buy from Garg-
Those who wish to game
-Upgrade 4 GB RAM 2k

If you can spend 3-5 k more-
-Best Budget M.2 SSD -Transcend M.2 2280 MTS 800 120 Gigs -$62

OR

-Best long life M.2 SSD Crucial MX200-$70

OR

-Best SSD Samsung 850 Evo M.2 2280
-$80

Be very careful of SSD because this lappy supports SATA only and not PCIe so buy the above listed only.

He is not into gaming and needs a powerful multi-tasking computer. So why he needs a laptop with a high end GPU? Macbook pro 13" retina is custom made as per usage.

MacBook is only good if running Mac OS.
Once you try to install Windows it's awful.
Most applications support Windows first and later Mac.
So getting and i5 with 120 GB Hard disk for 60-70k is a haywire option.
