Specs :
Intel Core i5 @ 2.4ghz
4GB RAM, 2GB Nvidia GT 540M
750GB HDD
Price : INR 39,990 !
Plus a bunch of accessories !
Will post a detailed review and pics as soon as i get it all up and running.
Presently, working fine, running very cool and no problems yet.
Haven't run any benchmarks yet, just got it a few hours ago and installed the drivers.

Yes it is .. It is mentioned as 520m on the internet .
But after installing the latest drivers it shows 540m
. Btw ubuntu is detecting it as GT555M.
But the performance is fantastic . COD MW3 WOrks at max settings !

There is no heating during normal everyday usage.
max temp. around 45-50C for the processor, Graphic card, 40C for the HDD.
But its better to get a different keyboard for gaming, cos the temp shoots to 85C while playing ANY game ! very very hot... but no stability issues and everything runs smoothly so i guess it normal.
So basically its pretty cool most of the time, however i did get a cooling pad for gaming and a extra keyboard .
