On dell page it says 1366x768 as resolution but I think its a typo and it is also Full HD.

which one would you guys suggest? ASUS reviews have complaints about it shutting down on battery.

I wouldn't buy a laptop with a 50k budget without an SSD. Makes a lot of difference in real world usage.

See if you can find better deals locally.

^ Thanks but both these laptops have only 14" screen. Whan I want in the laptop are - i5 8th gen, 8GB RAM, 15.6" FULL HD display (IPS preferable) and at least 2 USB 3.0 ports. I cant believe some laptops still come with only 1 USB 3.0 port.

I am thinking of adding a samsung evo 860 256GB ssd myself and using a caddy to replace DVD drive with HDD. cost would come around 45k (laptop) + 6k SSD = 51K. A better deal I would say.

That's a great idea but make sure it doesn't void warranty. Most companies don't like people messing with the hardware.

To my knowledge, Dell, HP allow RAM and HDD upgrades as long as these are accessible from the outside. They consider opening the entire body as messing with the hardware...

Is there any tamperproof seal or anything on laptops? because my current sony laptop didnt have any seal or label over screws. How would they know that it had been opened?
