Asus R558UF-XO044D Laptop (Core i5 6th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/DOS/2 GB)

I bought this laptop on 20/2/2016 from a local store.nSome facts about this laptop are:n1. RAM...flipkart doesn't mention about any expandable ram, but this model actually has 4 gb ram, expandable upto 16 gb. There is one 4 gb ram stick, another unused slot...making a total of 2 slots. RAM frequency is 1600 mHz. n2. Battery life's 3.5 hrs on average, which is OK for a gaming laptop. I haven't personally tested this though, the shopkeeper told me.n3. Works best with Windows 10, processor is rumored to have driver compatibility problems with windows 8.1. However, I think that this might be false, and the latop would work fine with 8.1 64 bit OS.n4. Has a type C usb 3.1 port...which is a future tech thing. Applications for this is rare but being developed.n5. Asus has a 2 years warranty on this model instead of the 1 year that flipkart has mentioned, a wrong specification by flipkart. ADP, however, is not covered. nPros:n1. Great configuration at this price...i5 6200u along with a beastly 2 gb 930m nvidia gpu. There's also a 2 gb intel 520 integrated gpu for low graphics intensive work.n2. Display: Superb matte black finish anti-reflective screen. It isn't the glossy screen type and doesn't reflect under sunlight. Its very friendly for your eyes. Oh, and this doesn't affect the HD display, color production is good.n3.Doesn't heat up excessively while playing heavy games....gaming performance will be mentioned later. nCons:n1. Display's HD instead of full HD, but that's to be expected at this price.n2. Keyboard's not backlit :( . Also, no indicators for caps lock, num lock etc.n3. Glossy lid, which, while looks great...is a fingerprint magnet.nThe cons really are minor compared to the pros.nGAMING REVIEW:nI have used this for just 1 day..so I haven't been able to test out latest games yet. So far, this beast is able to run Witcher 2, Far Cry 4 and Dragon's Dogma at the highest possible settings very smoothly. I'll update gaming review later.nUPDATE: runs assassin's creed syndicate smoothly, without any lag in high settings. THIS IS A BEAST.n2nd update: Battery life is over 4 hrs on medium usage(without gaming), with the battery saver mode on.

Firstly the Delivery was amazing. I received the product 5 days from ordering(5 days earlier than expected date).Kudos TSRetail.nThe Laptop has exceeded my expectations. I researched about laptops in this price range for a week before ordering.This was definitely the best laptop for multipurpose use including media consumption, work performance and even gaming.nThe Laptop looks and feels amazing.The Description originally claimed that the product was matte finish on the outside but they have since changed the description and it is indeed a glossy dark brown which isn't necessarily a bad look but I personally prefer the matte finish.I have ordered and abstracvinyl from mSleep to give that matte feel.nThere seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the RAM slots on this laptop, I have only had the product with me for a day and haven't had the chance to open up the back yet, but I will update here regarding the RAM slots.n1)The Screen amazing! n2)The keyboard is very comfortable with large keys and gooid labelling.n3)The Trackpad is a joy to use.n4)It is quite light and thin compared to other 15.6" laptops.n5)The USB 3.0 port is not coloured blue which helps to keep track of the ports but rather painted brown like the rest of the laptop.nNot a big issue but still putting it out there.n6)The Battery life is really good.it was at full charge when I began installing windows 10 on it and after the installation of my essential programs and some games and Ms office and the drivs, etc for over 3 hrs, it still had 22% battery left.n7)Installing the drivers from the Asus CD is a pain..it reboots after every installation of a driver or program.But I managed to make it through.n8)The 4GB RAM is definitely restricting performance and have ordered and additional 8GB .Will update on the improved performance.n9)I have played only Just Cause 2 and Besiege on it so far and they run smoothly at max settings( 60fps forJC2 and 90 fps for Besiege)n10)Will continue to update performance
