Decision between asus g56jr and y510p

[shashibhushankunda]

hey guys I am buying a laptop under 80k. Right now I know y510p is the best. But I still feeling 760m is better. But right now g56jr is only vailable online in flipkart and is not available offline stores.

right now lenovo y510p is giving free 3 year warranty at 77000rs. I am confused which to chose.

My priorities:

1. service
2. gaming performance

who said Y510p is best?
G56JR is the best.
MSI is coming soon too.

 

[powerhoney]

Y510p was best till yesterday!!! Lol...
Today, we came to know about that spanking new Asus laptop... Will have to wait for proper reviews of the Indian model to know for sure if it's really the best!!!

 

[shashibhushankunda]

When I enquired with asus on warranty if I buy from flipkart they said they wont honour the warranty.I am worried if I buy it.

And also lenovo y510p has ultrabay and so games on 755sli will be faster than 760m right?

guys..PM/tell me as to why asus G56JR's the best now? except for temps in a y510p SLI setup I don't think G56JR is allrigh...well wtf
yea..but if $$ is a constraint i.e. <75k then it's a totally diff ball game.
asus did bundled sm <3 stuff

why is that?

 

[shashibhushankunda]

"SLI not available in India." Hmm...u might want to consider that statement . I found one on a usa based indian website which ships to india . Not only that lenovo usa website still has the ultrabay. I can get it using forward shipping service.

 

[seamon]

My statement stands. SLI is not available in India.
SLI is available in USA not India inconsequential of your shipping company reference. It's like buying in USA. There are many services which do that. If you shipping you are not buying in India. Period. I never said SLI not available in USA.

..can get it using forward shipping service.

a what?

 

[shashibhushankunda]

"forward shipping service"

google "buy from usa"

 

[seamon]

like
PPOBox.com-Shop and Ship from USA, UK and China to India Online

- - - Updated - - -

fetches your stuff from USA.

- - - Updated - - -

The problem with that is not everyone is willing to go forward with a purchase from USA.

 

[shashibhushankunda]

since you know pbobox does anyone here have any experience with pbobox, borderlinx and other websites. Can anyone refer me to a trusted tried and tested one?

 

[seamon]

I got my GT 650m SLI card from ppobox. xD

hey...bro you shouldn't have had piggy backed me
I so..soo want to order this G56JR baby..ikr..VFM with those freebies but Y50's coming up..MSI's coming up....also asus = poor after sales/lack of service centres across length/breadth of country?

well my review was for "enthusiasts" those who open the screws for glory

..why is that?

135Mhz+ OC limit :< atleast in an acer notebook.. vbios merged with main BIOS == isn't friggin accessible for vflash

Overclocking 760M GTX

although we can get perf. upto a 765m's mark..

how much did they charged extra? including taxes/octroi etc. etc?

 

[seamon]

That was your review?? :O I think Flipkart deleted it. I can't see it on main page anymore.
All laptop GPUs have vBIOS integrated into main BIOS. Y510p SLI card has its separate vBIOS but main card's vBIOS is integrated.
Nvidia puts a +135Mhz restriction on all its cards.
I had to flash a custom BIOS and a custom vBIOS to get +290Mhz OC.

10k for card 3k for extras(includes insurance)

rough/dirty estimate:
item price: $1300
weight: 9 pounds (lbs)
dimenions LxWxH (cms): 38.7x26.37x2.5
From: USA
To: India

PPOBox:

Borderlinx:

Shipping cost * INR 3635.09 USD 61.32

Shipt protection INR 1348.63 USD 22.75
Total cost to pay INR 15474.69 USD 261.04

but all this is just estimated shipping price incl. of duties and stuff.
in-need of some volunteer(s)

I think he was talking about this
Y510p Removable Graphics GT755M5 | Lenovo | (US)
This should cost ~8k total to import.

yep it's up for around 8.7~ish
but isn't a higher wattage power brick reqd? and y510p already overheats if stressed much..no wonder SLI would hover around 85ish on full stress?
