After much research over internet, I zeroed-in on this lappy... It has everything you want from a lappy plus it's pretty much in your budget... I ordered it via Flipkart and the product was delivered to me in 3 days.. Packaging was good, as per Flipkart's standards.. Laptop exteriors are good (it's not very clear in the display pic, but in reality, it looks better than in the pic). I installed Windows 7 Ultimate edition ... Got installed without any troubles... Installed the drivers provided along with the laptop... All got installed properly... But when I was right-clicking on the desktop screen, I was not getting any option for Graphic card control panel (if your system boasts of a graphic card, you should have an option for that)... I checked in the device manager, it was showing both Intel HD Graphics as well as NVidia Graphics drivers installed.. I uninstalled both the drivers and tried to install only nvidia drivers, but then it gave an error that my hardware does not support this driver (!!!)... Then I again did some research over internet and found out that NVidia GeForce 610M graphics card follows Optimus technology.. It means that both the s/w graphics (here Intel HD 3000) and h/w graphics (Nvidia card) are used in this mechanism... The s/w graphics will be used for normal tasks... H/W graphics will be used only where required (like when u play games)... So, the trick here is to first install the Intel graphics drivers, only THEN install the Nvidia graphic driver. Also, DO NOT UPDATE your Nvidia graphics drivers from anywhere... The graphic drivers provided in the CD is the only version that works properly with this card... NVidia has not released this version properly... I am actually a bit put off by this, hence only 4 stars, or else wud have given 5 stars... Anyways, follow the above mentioned procedure and ur graphics issue will be resolved (Asus, I should be really paid for my hard work here) ;) Once you have installed all the drivers, update your BIOS version... I got version 2.5 in the CD... on their website, I got version 2.6... It's a simple process... You'll get step-by-step process on the Asus website... After this, run Asus LiveUpdate... The most important update installed here is SonicFocus... Without this, the speakers seem pretty lame... Once SonicFocus gets installed, you will have a good set of laptop speakers :) For voice clarity and quality, I will rate it 8/10... One remark I will like to make here is that in the specs, it's mentioned that camera resolution is 0.3 MP... But in reality, the image quality is much better (I have seen 0.3 MP camera in Toshiba Satellite series laptops. It really sucks. Just a dull dark image)... It's pretty much passable for your normal Skype chats n stuff... The processing speed is also good... I was weighing my options earlier whether I should go for I3 or I5 processors... I3 processor is a dual-core processor... I5 processors have both options viz. dual-core or quad-core... After much research over net I found out that in laptops, I5 is only dual-core... The only diff b/w I3 and I5 is that I5 core is having 10-15% more processing power and the ability to over-clock... Since I was having a limited budget, I settled down for a bit of less processing power and no over-clocking (I5 version of this lappy comes for 39K)... The screen is amazingly good .... I love watching HD movies ... clarity is crispy.. The only thing that I didn't like in this laptop is the keyboard quality... It feels very plasticy and cheap ... Plus you can feel the depression when you type... Hope I get used to that... Anyway, hope you have got all the info for this laptop in my review here. Ciao.
First let me tell you that I'm very satisfied with this laptop and the service from Flipkart, got it delivered in 3 days...Packaging was good. I'm using it for the past 10 days...and thought to write my opinion about this product so the others can benefit. Let me tell you that i have to choose this laptop over 2 others (Lenovo G580 (59-324061) / HP G6-2005AX AMD A8 Quad Core)....and trust me it was not so easy...but finally I'm glad i decided on Asus. Pros : 1) Gerat looks, very decent....and feel good quality 2) speed: no wonder 13 processor and 4GB DDR3 RAM with 2gb GPU it's perfect combination works great, for now played PES5. 3) Good widescreen ....very crisp and good to watch HD movies 4) Palm rest, awesome aluminum finish & very soft keyboard 5) camera is just average...what more to expect from 0.3mp 6) battery backup 3 - 4 hours while in use...which is very good. 7) Oh yes....Speakers, there's nothing to complain as others do, very good clarity and decent sound.. Cons : just one thing worries me I leave my laptop with 100% charged, when i check it after 12 hours it's 85% .......I don't know if it's normal or what...but would like to know if this happens to others too.
