boss asus has gud services and excellent customer support....my mom is using one...as for the performance it all depends on the config

Asus laptops in general are nice with good build quality. They offer 2-year warranty, which is kinda very nice. If you have a Asus notebook service center in your city, then expect quality service. Indian pricing for Asus notebooks has always been on the higher side. Considering you're getting it as a gift, enjoy

thanks.. it is imported from Hong Kong and i was freaked out as i did not know a single thing abt it.

now i get to know that it is 512MB ram, 80gb hard disk. not sure abut the precessor yet. (i doubt it will be a core2duo wih the given budget).. if there any site where i can search for ASUS laptops of this configuration and i might stuble upon my model ???

Nope. There would be ten models with the same specs! I have never seen an Asus laptop with just 512MB RAM in the last 12 months or so. Don't be worried about it. It's a nice thing infact. Trash the bundled RAM. Get 2x1GB DDR2 667MHz laptop memory sticks (Around 2k per piece) and you've got an extreme laptop
