1. Display is fantastic, I thought migrating from FULL HD DELL (desktop) to 1366x768 would be painful, but it wasnt. 
Clarity is superb.
2. Audio, Its Altec Lansing with BASS effect, but you need a quiet room to experience it.
3. Touch pad is very good & responsive, right/left click button make noise just like that of a logitech mouse.
Touchpad comes with gestures feature.
4. WiFi - it doesnt come with its own switch, its turned ON/OFF thru Fn (Function) key (Fn+F2), its instant, signal strength is good (yet to test long range)
Buy it from local shop, coz this laptop went out of stock @ Flipkart.com on monday

Hi 18000rpm,
I'm seeing lots of complaints on Asus K53SV SX521D, If you see the same model on flip-kart there are lots of negative reviews recently came.
I talked to one guy in Asus sales in Bangalore, he says they don't have any demo piece to check the performance.
I'm little confused now with performance of Asus laptops, could you shed some light to me about the performance of the Asus laptops.

I also recently bought the ASUS K53SV SX521V (i7 2670QM, 8GB ram, 750 GB, 2GB GT540M, Win 7 Home Premium) from Chandni market in Kolkata...
I think it was quite a steal considering I only paid 45.8k for it, and got original win 7 too...
also to answer some of your questions, I am currently playing Modern Warfare 3 and Crysis 2 at 1366x768 resolution at moderately high settings and getting excellent fps. Also the laptop stays amazingly cool after playing games for a long time. However I am thinking of buying a cooling pad just to be on the safe side.

guys I have bought Asus K53sv Sx520D for 39.5k from a local dealer and I have got an Asus Backpack+ a keyboard and a mouse with it
And Guys , I want to know how high can GPU temperature go ? Cos I have installed Call of Duty Modern warfare2 on it and whenever I play that game, the GPU gets heated up easily and it crosses 75 degree C mark ! and if I quit playing , within a few seconds temperature falls and becomes normal !..is this common ?
My room mate has the same laptop and he has been playing mafia2 on it..even he's experiencing the same thing ..it sometimes reaches 80 degree C mark on his computer !
All I want to know is whether it's normal for the GPU to get that hot while playing games ? and is there any software out there which could warn me when the GPU temp crosses certain limit ?

Insert Windows 7 64bit DVD. Boot from it. Proceed with the installation. Partition and format the hard disk. Files will be copied and installation will get completed. Remove the DVD.

you dont need to d/l asus drivers IF YOU INSTALL WINDOWS 7 64 BIT. coz the laptop comes with Asus 64bit drivers CD.
