Guys is the laptop available anywhere else? It's out of stock almost anywhere I look.. I'm really interested to get it... If you know any links or any dealer who would order and ship to chennai would be really useful... Thanks in advance

How will you get it?? Shipping+Customs or somebody will bring it for u???
950m ddr3 or gddr5???
If possible buy it with 1080p and 62wh battery. It'll take more 60 dollars, will be worth it...

Congrats. BTW why didn't you considered sager laptops from xoticpc?? You would have got gtx 960m for around 950usd...
 
Tbh I don't need a hardcore gaming machine. I needed something which has portability and I could play games occasionally. As im going to take it to classes in univ. This suited perfectly to my needs. Had all the latest specs. (Except the 4 gen i7) so got this one.
Don't really care for a optical drive anyways.
900$ was the upper limit I could spend so that's why didn't look at other more expensive options.

OMG what language is that !!!, and "back 2 school offer" is an HP promo. Please check again about all the specifics that you've mentioned, the dealer himself might be confused as hell. Also, please check my un-boxing thread for the same for detailed specs.

@aman.pitbull , @joel.elias.333 , how did you guys registered the warranty for this? Is registration of warranty necessary?

Yes, you can register it online on Asus's website. It's 2 year global warranty so they have to honor it provided they have all the parts with them else we'll have to wait or ship it to the dealer. I sent a query mail after product registration, the following details were given by the ASUS customer care rep:
"Laptop body: Two year warranty
LCD: Two year warranty
Motherboard/Processor: Two year warranty
Keyboard: Two year warranty
Battery: 1 year warranty
Mouse: 1 year warranty
Hard-Disk: Two year warranty
RAM: Two year warranty
DvD Drive: Two year warranty

Please follow these steps to find which local service center is the most closed to you.

Also you can directly contact our local service center for help. The following is the contact information:

SSD m.2 is compact form of SSDs especially made for laptops {smaller than traditional SSDs and way faster than HDDs}.

Which laptop are you talking about. Thailand imported one?? @aman.pitbull answered it.

Well this is most disturbing part of the post.. Where are you getting this laptop...and at 63k HOW????
I think it is exclusive of taxes.

@Garg.Enterprises When are you going to list the laptop on Ebay ?
Click to expand...
I think chances are very low of it getting relisted again..Items put up for sale by @Garg.Enterprises has drastically decreased from 35 to 10 in past few weeks.. Are they thinking of quitting selling business..@Garg.Enterprises NO offence..

Guys how do i get this laptop to India ?

Seller does not ship india.. So contact Seller requesting to ship it to your location.
Else ask your relatives from abroad to bring it for you.
Another way is using sites like ppobox or borderlinx.. Then you have to pay for shipping and customs that will make total landed cost of around 950 usd .
EDIT: On shipping details, its described that it wont ship to PO box ,so ppobox is of no help.

8 gb is enough. But if you can upgrade to 16 gb than it will better. BTW both ram slots are already occupied i.e. in 2*4 gb configuration . So upgrading means you have buy 2 8gb sticks..Instead Of this get one m.2 ssd 128 gb.

When you buy it , please post the detailed pictures of documents+driver cd[if any] present inside laptop box[ Not the outer box]

For AAA titles it'll not be enough but you can definately play lowering graphics quality and resolution.

LOL sorry to break it to you but it will be outdated within max 2 years.

Definately Indian one. 8 gb ram+ ips + win 8.1[upgradable to win 10]+Cerberus Headphone+2 years extended warranty[via BACK to SCHOOL] is better than 4gb ram+tn+dos+No BACK to SCHOOL .
It justifies the price gap 63k vs 59k. So without doubt cn009h is better choice.

EDIT: So you gonna buy it from TEJ right?? I'm from Ranchi too
