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.

What is the need of installing pathetic windows OS on such a great machine? Macs are best known for their reliability, security and multi-tasking. Most of the productive applications support Mac then windows and there are tools to run windows app in that too. Your point is invalid.
A month ago snapdeal was selling latest macbook pro retina for an amazing price of 69.5k. Now it's best available for 75k on paytm.

Plus the base model comes with 128GB Solid State Drive not the Hard Disk as you think. :-?

Kunal has both, the asus and y510p. So, i asked about the display quality comparison.

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


I too own the y500 and have felt that:

1. Y500 glossy panel is better than matte y510p in terms of display quality except reflections as it is glossy.
2. Y50 matte panel is miles behind my y500 or even y510p matte.

I wanted to know if the display on asus is better than what?

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.

Is the products link below are compatible with ASUS ROG GL552JX-DM087D ?

8 GB RAM - Transcend 8GB 1600 MHZ or Corsair Value Select 8GB 1600MHZ


If i add 8 GB RAM now (4+8= 12 GB) will it affect the performance ? if so is it a deal breaker if there is no dual channel memory advantage ? i m going to use it for Photoshop & premiere.



SSD

120 GB - Samsung 850 EVO 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III or Transcend SSD370S 128GB

Or Should i go for 256 GB as i will have to install software like Premiere/AVID/Photos which needs more cache disk space ?

256 GB - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III or Transcend Information 256 GB SATA III 6Gb/s

- - - Updated - - -

Also is it possible to change the keys on the keyboard ? Thai language present in the keys are too distracting. how much will it cost ?

I am unaware of 12 GB combo but any Ddr3L 1600mhz will work.

Get 256 GB SSD.
Put the HDD in an enclosure of USB3.0
Or install in Caddy Bay(Not sure how to)

Samsung > Kingston

If you install HDD in caddy bay go with 120 GB or else 256 GB
