Get the Asus ROG one from ebay for <60k.
Guys, At last I found a thread where people understand what is quad core and dual core, I have been searching 25/7

for a laptop for a month now . IT IS HIGHLY disappointing that in our country quad cores are a rare and BRANDS sell here cheap quality processors at high price .
ASUS GL 552 JX is the only model that does justice to the money spent (considering other models we have in India even if it is priced at 65 k for DOS model that is VFM..i personally need something without OS but CN009H is a good choice as well).
This stock ended EVERYWHERE and as per what I am hearing the stock may not return soon (atleast a month). Also the amazing marketing strategy from ASUS called "back to back"
At last I booked this in Ebay today AFTER CONFIRMING from Asus india that in india international warranty is valid . I did check it with a local asus service center as well. Fingers crossed...
Another model that comes close is Lenovo Thinkpad

RAM is user upgradable, touchscreen is a gimmick for anything >10" and 8 GB ssd is a joke
ULV i7s are just higher clocked ULV i5s. Plus it has 840M. All this makes the HP one worth less than 50k.
Saiyangoku ..Can you also please explain if I can remove the 4 gb Ram and expand it to 16 gb altogether (8+8) ? ( I had to ask to as I read a review on another model looks like 4 gb is mounted (not sure what this means) and we can only add another 8 gb making it 12GB max..) if this is the case with this laptop as well it would be a heartbreak as 16 gb is mandatory for me (for a course)

Don't buy from there.
At Paytm u can get Indian version for 63k.
In Ebay coupons won't apply as it's handpicked deal.
Comparision betwn imported and Indian version-
1. TN panel vs IPS display
2.4GB vs 8GB RAM
3.Free Dos vs Windows 8.1
4.1 year Global vs 1 year global + 2 year Asus Back 2 School warranty
Only 1 point is 4 GB VRAM on imported but it hardly matters.
At paytm u can get it for 70k -9k(Casbback) =63k
So u cant buy these stuff in 3 k right
-IPS Panel -10k
-4 GB Ram -2k
-Windows 8.1 -4-6k
-Warranty-4-5k
So better buy from Paytm seller is authorised officially by Asus.
I bought from Garg. And I regret.Should have waited.
NVM doesn't matter.
Hi Kunal .. I thought Garg is selling IPS as well . Anyways there no alternative and I have already wasted 30 days in search cant anymore as I am in a need to complete a course urgently.. out of curiosity how is the display (can you please rate it on a scale of 1-10?)
