1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
Ans: 21000

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Ans: 14-15"

3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
Ans: Which ever will provide good after sales

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
Ans: web surfing, office apps, Casual Gaming and Movies (HI DEF) (Optional) mostly general usage

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
Ans: Minimum 1366 x 768 widescreen. Type = any

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
Ans: Also one guy suggested me HP Compaq CQ43-405AU Laptop but i don't know what to do. My main requirement would be for general pc usages. But i do need a little bit more on the graphic side so that i can play games and play latest FORMAT movies like mkv, mp4 and bluray If possible.
Due to space shortage we need laptop over PC. Frequently changing places (rented). Kindly give a small desc why the machine you selected is good from other. Thank you.

One thing More
which is good
1) Radeon 6310M or Intel 3000
2) AMD Brazos C50 Dual Core processor or Amd 350 or amd 450 or Dual core (Intel B950 or P6200)
3) Intel HM55 or Intel HM65

Asus X Series X54H-SX227D @ 23488

2) AMD Brazos C50 Dual Core processor or Amd 350 or amd 450 or Dual core (Intel B950 or P6200)
3) Intel HM55 or Intel HM65

1. 6310 have a slight edge over HD3000 but the processor that have these graphics processors are not meant for gaming at all.
2. C50 is meant for extremely cheap netbooks. not for laptops. in terms of CPU performance, B series of Pentium should be many times faster than C/E of AMD.
3. those are chipset. HM55 is meant for 1st gen Core series or Pentium. HM65 is meant for 2nd gen Core series or Pentium.

also blueray reader at such price looks skeptical.

Even ebay mention blue ray drive (reader)

Even I doubt that how could a laptop can have a blue ray drive at such a low price.
And even I suggest you to buy X44H-VX025D, its a great laptop considering the price

last thing
why X44H-VX025D / Core i3 / 2 GB / 500 GB / Free DOS: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook and not
Asus X Series X54H-SX227D Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus

what is the difference ?
coderunknown
May 18, 2012 at 12:19 PM
^^ its what listed there. smaller screen, slightly lower clocked processor & small HDD at same price. the 15.6" is better for watching movies though you get less space to store them ;)

what say ?

you can go for any. i3 will have slight performance boost cause of the extra 2 threads (hyperthreading cores). but pentium dual core will handle too.

Purchased 22.5k (from lammy)
Dual core
Asus 136D with 64bit 128bit support (136D have many version i guess 2gb ram, 1gb video etc)
It is actually K54H series but the laptop stick shows X54H weird
4GB RAM
2GB Dedicated graphic (INTEL 3000 onboard ) first time i seen this why they included memory
The screen is LED not Glare
USB 3.0
HDMI
bluetooth 3.0
and other specs are same


What the f is this 128bit support the shop keeper is saying that it will support windows 8 which support 128bit is it correct or just marketing

congrats :)
the shopkeeper meant to say that when he outs his own version of windows your laptop will handle it. in short, don't waste time listening and arguing with shopkeepers. they'll always talk crap :)

and its 2GB shared memory. you can dump around 3.5GB onto that Intel graphics and see 0% improvement. reduce shared memory to 512MB and that will leave good amount of ram for normal use.

Asus K in US/EU = Asus X in Asia (usually K without OS = X).

So you mean to say it is a good deal ?

First I read as Core i3 instead of dual core. core i3 would have been gr8 @ 24 k anyways congrats!!

this would be also good in less price

BTW whose is that dealer? FUTECH, Samvick or any other dealer?

I may also go to him once trinity OR Core i3 Ivy bridge is launched....
