Asus G CN135H-G56JR Laptop (Core i7 4th Gen/8 GB/1 TB/Windows 8 1/2 GB)

I've been using this laptop for 5 days and here is my opinion about the laptop:nFirst of all the build quality and external appearance : nThe build quality is really good. The case doesn't deform when pressed by hand. The hinges are also sturdy and a bit tight.The lid is made of brushed black aluminium with an Asus logo on it which lights up. Keyboard is red back lit with adjustable brightness.nThe display is matte 1080p IPS beauty. The viewing angles are great,the screen is sturdy and doesn't wobble. Although the numpad is a bit cramped up, it is still workable.nThe air vent is located on the left side and it really gets hot under load.nHardware:ni7-4700HQ is a speedy hyperthreaded processor and it is more than enough for gaming and other activities. It has a 100 mHz more clock speed than the 4700MQ but that is not noticeable.nNvidia GTX 760M is an upper middle class performance card. It has 768 CUDA cores clocked at 657 mHz.This card can offer decent gaming perfomance.The next better card is the GTX 765M present in the alienware M14X which is priced at 1.2 lakhs. It is just a overclocked version of the 760M. It has the fast GDDR5 VRAM.nIn BF4 and CoD Ghosts at 1080p with everything at high and AA turned off I am getting around 33 and 40 fps average respectively. Since Anti aliasing doesn't make a huge difference when playing at 1080p, it is not much of a concern.nIn CAD in 3D modelling,although it is not as good as the Quadro or Firepro cards which are found in workstations, this card can easily handle the stuff engineering students do.nThe RAM is 8 GB of Dual channel 1600 MHz DDR3 and it is more than enough for pretty much all they day to day tasks.nIt has a 6x Blu ray writer which is quiet and SonicMaster speakers which are really great compared to speakers in other laptops.nIt has 4x USB 3.0 ports, 2 on each side and a 720p webcam.nThe battery lasts upto 4 hours on general use and medium brightness.nBundled goodies:nGaming mouse - The bundled gaming mouse is great. It has 5 keys and adjustable sensitivity ranging from 1250 dpi to 5000 dpi.The ergonomics are great.nSub woofer - It is quite good for its size and will come in handy while watching movies or playing games without headset.n120W charger - It is a bit bigger than expected but charges the battery faster than compared to the standard 65W charger.nLaptop bag - The supplied laptop bag was light and plain.nnWhy I bought G56JR over Y510p:nFirst of all I don't have anything against Y510p or Lenovo nor am I affiliated with ASUS.nHere we go,nFirst of all I was planning on buying the Y510p and an extra GT 755M ,but it was not available in India.The improvement in performance will be significant but adding another card in SLI will require a bigger 180W power brick. So importing them from the US will cost around 20K for the card and power brick with taxes which is out of my budget. Also Dual GPUs will produce a lot of heat and can suffer from micro stuttering compared to a single premium accelerator.n- The CPU is slightly better.n- GTX 760M has twice the number of CUDA cores than the GT 755M and it clocked at a lower frequency. This gives more headroom for overclocking and the 760M is faster.n- Way better matte IPS display than the glare wedge display in Y510pn- Touchpad is better.n- Bundled gaming mouse and subwoofer with G56JR.n- All four USB ports are 3.0 compared to 2 USB 3.0 ports in Y510p.n- Newer than Y510p. Lenovo has already released their next iteration in the Y series. The Y50 in the US.Which will be available in August.nnAlso MSI will be launching GTX 860M laptops in India sometime in the near future. But I was skeptical about the price since the Indian correspondent said that the laptops will come with an additional $150 extended warranty in addition to the import duties etc.. So I think the 860M laptops will be priced near 1 lakh.nTherefore, for the time being G56JR is the best gaming laptop in this price range.

I bought this laptop from local reseller not flipkart (I do not buy stuff that is not being sold by WS Retail), got this laptop at Rs. 80,000/- for the first 15 days I was really happy and jumping with joys that I got a beautiful and feature rich laptop at an unbeatable price but then came the reality, on the 16th day I switched on the laptop and it was not booting up no power no charging lights and no activity at all (obviously the mobo fried) , completely dead then I tried the hard reset and everything I could to restart this laptop but it won't start. I was only left with an option to call ASUS customer care they logged my call and transferred the same to the service center for onsite warranty, its been more then 10 days and I am still chasing these guys to replace the laptop or the parts but yet they are taking this whole matter at a snail pace. Worst customer service I have experienced, I am now regretting my decision of buying this laptop , I should have gone with Lenovo (budget gaming laptop y510 or y50) or some other company such as Dell or HP atleast their customer service is acknowledged enough. Please my humble request, do yourself a favor by not buying this laptop, incase your laptop goes faulty then good luck chasing ASUS customer service. If you do not believe me see the negative reviews about them on the net, I ignored them and now I am repenting.
