Right off the assembly line
My brother ordered ASUS X53SC - *www.ebay.in/i...984.m1439.l2649
(Paid ~32000 with coupon)

The dealer called yesterday, mentioned that its and end of life model and instead he will upgrade to Samsung 3 series NP300E5Z. - *cgi.ebay.in/w...#ht_5467wt_1092

He says its expensive compared to the asus model, but I found it on flipkart for selling about 34k.

Most of the config is same except:

Samsung - i5 2450M / 6hrs battery life(dealer claimed so)
Asus - i5 2430M

I liked ASUS laptop for its better build quality. For one the design is very sleek and it has an excellent LCD. I have no idea what samsung notebook build quality is like and how is the service of samsung like.

The configuration I am looking for is i5/4-8GB Ram/500+ GB disk space/chicklet keyboard.

Following are the options

1. I ask him to send the Samsung notebook
2. ask him to send the Asus notebook
3. Cancel the purchase and look for alternate options?

Please let me know what you guys think.

TIA :)

Get the refund and get the Asus one from flipkart.
If that dealer is selling the Samsung one for anything less than 34k then get it.

IMO Samsung laptops are good enough.

Thanks guys.

I downgraded to P53E. Got the laptop in day. Upgraded RAM to 8 gigs and its fantastic. Gfx card was not a compulsion.

The dealer promised to deposit the difference in my account. Costed me 30500 including the ram upgrade. Which is a good deal I think.

Thanks again
