    Laptops Buying Asus GL552JX laptop from Ebay for 55k

    This thread has really grown! O_O I really need to get internet! And yea... The HD is 7200rpm. Just checked. And Alias_01, other than a RAM upgrade, it is probably one of the better options out there at this price point. Go for it.

    Storage Solutions Recommend a 4/8 GB pen drive (small form factor) to host a bootable Linux OS

    Any pendrive should work. Though make sure it is 8GB and not a 4GB one. I too use a Sandisk Crizer. They are well built pieces unlike some of the stuff out there.

    Go for the Asus. (128GB SSD, 16GB RAM and the IPS display is definitely worth it.)

    I did my product registration. Not sure if I have to register separately for Global Warranty... And PM the seller here if you want. He replies in a day or two.

    I will try and do a detailed review but not sure if I'll get the time. I'll give you a brief idea. Build: It feels solid. Initially I was a little apprehensive as the top flexed a little bit under pressure. But the rest of the laptop is solid. No such issues. The flex with the top is still...

    4510U is a dual core while 4720HQ is a quad core. And 950M is a definite step up from 840M...

    Unboxing: Asus GL552J

    Nope. Did not find any such profiles. Do tell me if you do. And yea getting a 950M GDDR5 is not really possible at this price point. Was your battery running at balanced or powersaver? And what applications were you running?Also... Will you be buying extra RAM? Any recommendations? Am a little...

    Unboxing: Asus GL552J

    Just installed Windows. The screen is just about okay. The previous Dell Studio XPS 1640 I owned did have a superior screen. So that was a little disappointing. The colours are not that vibrant or vivid, so I'd give it an average when it comes to watching movies or series on it. Battery is...

    I asked the seller and he had mentioned that the display was IPS and not TN. And no mouse eh? :(

    Laptops Buying Asus GL552JX laptop from Ebay for 55k

    Nope. Just gotta trust the seller. Check out the feedback on his/her eBay page and then what they are claiming. I chose to buy this model only cos the feedback score was good. I went through their positive, neutral and negative feedbacks to get an idea of the exp ppl had with them and then...

    Seller has shipped it! Got the tracking details. Though I also got a message saying automatic refund has been initiated, after which it gave me a tracking number.

    41-50k Laptop with Good Battery, FHD Screen, and Decent Horsepower

    Regarding the Asus model, the seller mentioned a week or two. So I suggest waiting. And with a FHD screen and good power, chances are less that you'll come across a model with good battery backup. Is it an important criteria?
