Purchased ASUS K53SV-SX521D. Real nice laptop also no display issues whatsoever. Installed Win 7 x64 ultimate and all the drivers.

Congrats for your new purchase....

To Play games like GTA 4, Just Cause 2 and Battlefield 3 on Mid-High Settings, heavy usage(overnight downloading) and watch HD movies..

Yes its a great laptop.
Go for it.
And at the same time please have a look at Sony CB45 also

Awesome purchase dude. Although I wish the GPU's get better on lappies. At 50k, we should be getting GTX560M or something

Welcome to TDF, we shall be more than happy to help you. :)

First tell me, you got driver CD/DVD with your laptop? Because they are the bare essentials to install and make the hardware working before moving ahead.

^^^^
It has been replaced by Asus K53SM-SX016D.So ask that dealer only that what price he can offer you for this model.
Coz 43.5k for 521D is really a great deal.And Asus have also increased the prices now.

Planning to buy the same lappy as OP.(521v)
But the issue of display that cyanide pointed out got me thinking
@alien how is the display?
the other option on mind is cb45.

Major use: 3dsmax, adobe premier, Photoshop, games like assassins creed , nfs, and .mkv movies, in addition to browsing n usual ms office.

A comparison between the cpu-gpu combinations for both wud b great if possible .
And ofcourse the display of asus is a concern, so user experience is the best way to find out.


I have about one week. Please help.
Thanks in advance :)

Both the asus one as well as sony one are good, pick anyone you like.
More into gaming then pick Asus, if you want a good display then get Sony
