Awesome purchase dude. Although I wish the GPU's get better on lappies. At 50k, we should be getting GTX560M or something

Welcome to TDF, we shall be more than happy to help you.

First tell me, you got driver CD/DVD with your laptop? Because they are the bare essentials to install and make the hardware working before moving ahead.

hi frndz....
I saw d k53sv-sx521d model in flipkart. But its out of stock n some frndz report that, asus stopped manufacturin that model...
one of my frndz bought it for Rs.43,500 frm a dealer in bnglr. but its out of stock with that dealer nw.
so anyone knows a dealer in n around chennai or hyderabad who still has that model in stock?

[aroraanant]

^^^^
It has been replaced by Asus K53SM-SX016D.So ask that dealer only that what price he can offer you for this model.
Coz 43.5k for 521D is really a great deal.And Asus have also increased the prices now.

Planning to buy the same lappy as OP.(521v)
But the issue of display that cyanide pointed out got me thinking
@alien how is the display?
the other option on mind is cb45.

Major use: 3dsmax, adobe premier, Photoshop, games like assassins creed , nfs, and .mkv movies, in addition to browsing n usual ms office.

A comparison between the cpu-gpu combinations for both wud b great if possible .
And ofcourse the display of asus is a concern, so user experience is the best way to find out.


I have about one week. Please help.
Thanks in advance

[anirudhasarawgi]

@RizEon go for the cb45 its awesome...the display is the best i ever seen in laptops.

[RizEon]

@anirudh i need to know about the other stuff as well.. other than display

[anirudhasarawgi]

@RizEon specification wise asus 521v is better

[RizEon]

BTW i think that model has been rebranded to sx016 and cant find anything on the win7 inclusive veraion

[aroraanant]

Both the asus one as well as sony one are good, pick anyone you like.
More into gaming then pick Asus, if you want a good display then get Sony

[RizEon]

@aroraanant thnx as i mentioned above, i guess it has been replaced by sx016 model, with a price hike and i cant find any damn info of the windows vesion of it anywhere....

[aroraanant]

It comes without win 7

[RizEon]

Hmmm...
There is a lot of difference in both of the models, ram, graphic card, HDD.
And have never heard about that website, lets see what other members have to say about it.

[RizEon]

@anant what i meant was it should ideally be costlier not cheaper....

I think there is something fishy in that site. I've looked through its items and some are priced ridiculously low. PS Vita for 15K, yeah sure.

[RizEon]

Thank you guys for all the help...
I purchased asus k53sm sx010d... awesome machine ..doesn't heat upat all compared to my old HP havent had any issue until now...no pixelation .

Initially my friends were sceptical of me choosing this over'dell...hp...lenovo' but now quite a lot of them are considering asus after using my machine #win!

We're in Beta, Any Order Placed During this Period Shall Not be Processed.

Guys go through the above text on their header - just near the chat option. No wonder why they mentioned a low price!
