It seems that a new model of K55VM has arrived, this one comes with 3rd generation Core i5 3210M processor (which is commonly used by other manufacturers). I'm told that the features are identical to the Core i7 model with the exception of the processor and hard disk capacity (750GB):

Asus K55VM-SX086D Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) - Asus: Flipkart.com

The price is Rs. 45,000. What do you guys think? Is this a good buy or am I missing something?

The link you provided takes me to the same old model. It was 50 K last month. Now it's 54K.

Right, the link is for the old model (Core i7), the new model (Core i5 3rd gen) is not on Flipkart yet.

and thanks for the price info, didn't know that the Core i7 was selling for 50K, thats a good deal.

I'm really hoping for higher-end graphics cards in asus models.
The highest in the mid-range is a 635M. :/
