[aman.pitbull]

I got this laptop but sound is very low.
Don't know if its a defect or this laptop normally has low sound.. @aman.pitbull ??

Yup, it's pretty low.

Through the speakers. Headphone output is amazing.

Thanks. That's all I want to know. All my previous laptops speakers were awful. So, this is not a surprise for me.

Yea... Laptops generally do not have great audio.... This is just about average... (Some might say even below average!)

Strange! My G56JR has stunning audio for a laptop - it even has a tiny external subwoofer. That is how pretty much all ROG laptops have been so far.

This one looks like it has been cost cut severely.

Wow, I'm jealous. Congrats!

For the 71k price the gl552j has been launched in India it is not all that vfm either but for 55k I would be ok with the compromise.

It does have a M.2 slot. I'm not sure if it's pci-e, sata, or ngff - Google on it, and visit the asus product page.

Yup, I've seen the slot there. Thanks for confirming the spec, I'll also add a M.2 SATA drive in the future .
