IMO, nvidia gt 540 will help in video editing/conversion.

K53SV-SX520D has usb 3.0 port. I have confirmed it. It also has 2gb graphics, n 750 gb hard disk.
But i dnt know about the build quality and audio of this model. Does any one know about the after sales service of asus? Are they having extended warranty or features like accidental damage protection?

@cyanide and dutta, not even asus site mentioned usb3 and even in reviews lack of usb3 was considered as.con....but sx521d has it which is way costly....are you guys sure its sx520d and not sx 521d.....?
any updates on price through? at 36k it would b a great buy..!!

btw anand asus x53ta has 6520g and not 6650g....A6 comes with former and A8 with later....so performance will dip down further but still a good deal !!
though i would prefer asus k53e-sx185d with i3-2320 with gt520mx better cpu+gpu performance at 29.1 k on flipkart !!

I saw it in the asus notebook catalogue. I will upload the scan if possible. Asus customer care is worthless. Nothing is known to them.

Actually Asus k53TA has APU's 6620 crossfired with discrete 6650 wich is a bit slower dan 540M but faster dan 520M

K53ta has 6720g.
6720g = 6520g( integrated with CPU) + 6650m( discrete gpu). crossfire enabled.

Its performance will be on par with gt540m.

I think there is a general misconception between x53ta and k53ta in this forum and TE forum.. :(

General confusion between the GPU of the two lappies.. Correct me if I'm wrong..

Edit - K53TA is the X53TA in Asia.. My bad.. :(
