Hi..where r u purchasing this? In catalog it shows Rs.46,000 with 1 yr warranty. how come you are able to get it with 2yr warranty & 4GB RAM?
Please tell.
Meanwhile to add to my confusion, Lenovo y560 is also has similar/better config. i5-460M, 4GB, 500GB, Win7 Home Premium, 15.6", 1yr On-site warranty for around Rs.53000!! But here HD5730 has 1GB RAM!?
I don't know which to choose....
Mainly because of HD5730 I'm leaning towards these models instead of Dell. Any suggestions?
Heyy...You'll have to pay that much most probably. I'm getting this from a shop @cochin, kerala. It's a new shop so they're giving lotta offers.
Have you been to a computer shop before? if so you mite have seen the demo systems they have rite? same thing but they use it for display. I'm getting one of those and that's the reason I'm getting for such a low price. i wouldn't have gone for it but since the shop was opened only a week back it's fresh and new (the laptop wires are still tied, the screen, touch pad protection sticker is still in place, not removed yet...
and besides that not many people know or trust asus here so they wouldn't even care to go near it or check the lap..hehe
This is the offer they gave me to choose.
1.demo lap
cost 43850 + 2500 RAM = 45350/- will give me for 45000
2.normal box packed
cost 45000(offer price) + 2500 RAM = 47500/- will give for 47000..!! (so you can get for that price with 4GB RAM, 2GB HD5730, 640GB HDD)
since both are from the same manufacturer, has the same config, has the same warranty etc i decided to go for the demo one, it's just one week (8 days to be precise), the best part is they don't even keep it switched on like the other big branded ones as most people don't even care to go near the asus..
Lenovo is a good brand too but why pay extra 6000 for a low config? asus has 2GB ATI HD 5730 compared to lenovo's 1GB, asus has 640GB HDD compared to 500GB lenovo.
