Hi fellas,m on a hunt for a laptop,strictly under 40k and on flipkart i found the Asus U n K series while the U is priced at 50k n K at 41k,heres the comparison Asus U Series U36SD-RX010V vs Asus K Series K53SV-SX520V: Compare Computers: Flipkart.com should i go for the k series or has it got some issues or is it that the U series is comparatively thinner

I think u series is designed for portability so that's why it has a higher price.
BTW also look at HP dv4 3016tx and 3015tx

You are what about HP laptops?

From what i know 'Dell' has the best after sales support + has extended warranty (Have worked with dell for a small tenure, hence the comment)

Not sure about others as never had any problems with my gadgets.

Yeah, they are actually bang for buck! You can go for them, just check their ASS in your region. :thumbs:

Why not contact the local shop and ask about it specifically? [Not a small pan patti shop]
I mean questions like
-Who has better support?
-Where is the nearest authorized service center

Since they are the best people with the much needed local knowledge to guide you before you buy the lappy (No wonder they crack their heads 24*7)

ASS=After Sales Service. :lol:

If you don't want to increase your budget, then Asus is the most VFM (Value for money) lappi for you.
