It's best SSD after 850 Evo but it's too costly.

Put 5k more and u get 850 Pro 500 GB .

Okay... But getting that SSD will mean sacrificing on the internal HDD or using it in a caddy... Will think about that...

Anyway, should I upgrade to the GSkill 16 GB RAM posted above or should I buy something else?

I ended up reusing the 2x4 GB 1600 Mhz sticks from my previous Y500... They are from the Ramaxel Brand and have latency clocks as 11-11-11-28...
Will it suffice for Matlab and moderate gaming?

Get the Asus ROG one from ebay for <60k.

Guys, At last I found a thread where people understand what is quad core and dual core, I have been searching 25/7 ;) for a laptop for a month now . IT IS HIGHLY disappointing that in our country quad cores are a rare and BRANDS sell here cheap quality processors at high price .

ASUS GL 552 JX is the only model that does justice to the money spent (considering other models we have in India even if it is priced at 65 k for DOS model that is VFM..i personally need something without OS but CN009H is a good choice as well).

This stock ended EVERYWHERE and as per what I am hearing the stock may not return soon (atleast a month). Also the amazing marketing strategy from ASUS called "back to back"

At last I booked this in Ebay today AFTER CONFIRMING from Asus india that in india international warranty is valid . I did check it with a local asus service center as well. Fingers crossed...

Another model that comes close is Lenovo Thinkpad

RAM is user upgradable, touchscreen is a gimmick for anything >10" and 8 GB ssd is a joke :lol:

ULV i7s are just higher clocked ULV i5s. Plus it has 840M. All this makes the HP one worth less than 50k.

Saiyangoku ..Can you also please explain if I can remove the 4 gb Ram and expand it to 16 gb altogether (8+8) ? ( I had to ask to as I read a review on another model looks like 4 gb is mounted (not sure what this means) and we can only add another 8 gb making it 12GB max..) if this is the case with this laptop as well it would be a heartbreak as 16 gb is mandatory for me (for a course)

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.

Hi Kunal .. I thought Garg is selling IPS as well . Anyways there no alternative and I have already wasted 30 days in search cant anymore as I am in a need to complete a course urgently.. out of curiosity how is the display (can you please rate it on a scale of 1-10?)

Max supported ram is 16 GB and there are 2 ram slots. Meaning you can replace the stock 4 GB ram.

Thinkpad E431 is overpriced even with the quad core i7.

SaiyanGoku , thanks for the response .. how is the display . Also agree that E431 is expensive (it was sold for 49000 as well in an offer). BUT if someone is thinking of an alternative this should be the one (under 60k even under 70k).. you have any other Laptop (quadcore ) in your mind?

No where it is mentioned that registration is mandatory (looks like it is mandatory for Lenovo though). Should we register by any means? my guess someone selling in Thailand already registered :)

He is not responding to my mails as well and the contact no. he has mentioned is switched off.Tomorrow is the deadline for shipping and he has not shipped yet.The deal is good but the seller is rather slow.I wouldn't be surprised if he has sold more units than Asus India itself given the demand :D
