I know that Dell Inspiron looks good with its specs. But I've been hearing lot of bad remarks about the brand. Like expansive services and poor ASS etc. This is why I am most inclined to the ASUS brand, which seems durable and good reviews worldwide. I am not sure about K53SM, as its just released and couldnt find much about it.

I also dont get, why ASUS has good reputation in international market but mostly neglected here in India. :-?

Indians have a mentality of "Oh expensive hai to bahot acha product hoga"...i do agree that ASUS don't give OS and it has poor screen.be practical, everyone has windows 7 ultimate OS. but ASUS is still cheap compare to its less failures.
i love dell, sony and hp too, but sometimes they don't come in the way as i think of ASUS laptop.
look at laptops in US, they need minimum of 6GB ram in laptops and dell, hp, sony provide them with less cost, they are looting indians here, don't know why, atleast they should release same laptops configured here in india also.

As far as I've seen, Dell provides much better ASS compared to Asus in India.

True, Asus has got a very good reputation in international market, and got a wide range of products too. But when it comes to India, they didnt seem to be fully established as yet. Hence HP & Dell are leading in India. Probably it might change in the future, who knows. But as off now, your best bet will be HP or Dell if ASS is a concern for you.

Thanks Sijus.. Looks like I will be going for Dell Inspiron 15R SE, core i5 3rd generation... From the reviews in related thread it seems like it's having no issues like heating or anything.. So may be a great deal.. Plus backlit keyboard, better GPU and 500 GB 7200 rpm HDD.. :mrgreen:

Great choice. Before buying, do call up the Dell CC to ask for any discounts. I guess there are some govt employe, student, corporate discounts going on. Confirm before ordering.

Check out sony vaio e15 as well

SVE15116EN : E Series : VAIO Laptop & Computer : Sony India

Looks really good.

But it comes with 2nd gen i5, though there is just around 5-10% difference in performance.
