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.

Go for the Asus. (128GB SSD, 16GB RAM and the IPS display is definitely worth it.)Going to get one from US.
Should I get this or gl551jw-ds74 or MSI ge60 Apache Pro-867 ?

Any other recommendations ? Need it for heavy programming and gaming - Dota 2,CS:GO and other latest titles.
Just saw this thread. The laptop seems nice. How much did you guys pay? 55k or 59k?
And is it an ultrabook or standard? Because its weird that it comes with a 4-cell battery and not 6-cell. Normally only ultrabooks have 4-cell and many dedicated gaming laptops come in 8-9 cell but for the price its good i guess. What about the display, is it IPS or TN? And warranty? Someone said the package has been opened, is it an isolated incident and do they all come in "Asus sealed" packages? Just a little concerned.
Bookmarking the ebay listing for future references. Perhaps its time to rest my old HP G6 Laptop. Thanks.
"Battery Life >=3hrs while
playing Dota 2." not possible.
We paid 55.5k for it, 58k with 8gb ram upgrade. It has a mediocre AU OptronicsTN panel, only 45% color gamut. It's a standard laptop, not an ultrabook. It looks small though, it gives around 4hrs on regular usage including heavy browsing, movies, and 20 mins gaming. You can modify the power management settings to get more juice. I think it should last 2.5hrs on only Dota 2. Stop counting the cells, the capacity of the cells matter the most nowadays. Regarding the packing and warranty I would recommend you to read this thread or contact the seller directly.
I'm playing dota 2 and csgo on it too. Runs both the titles without lag @ full on 1080p. Max Temps reach 82C for CPU and 74C for Gpu, idle Temps 56C CPU and 53C Gpu, room temp 27C.

Who had claimed what!@aman.pitbull so are you saying the screen is not as good as claimed?
Guys any reply regarding this? I believe the post was awaiting moderator approval which delayed the posting.Hey guys, I was following this thread since a while and just registered here to thank the users @aman.pitbull and @joel.elias.333 for giving fair insights about the laptop they purchased. I also purchased the same from the same seller yesterday. Although a lot of my queries are already answered by you guys, I still have a couple more.
I've noticed that in the 'show off' thread created by @aman.pitbull he mentions that the HDD included is 7200 rpm, where as @joel.elias.333 mentions elsewhere that for him it's 5400 rpm. Is it true that you received 2 different configs even after purchasing the identical model? Also, was everything shipped correctly (as I saw the shipment was extremely delayed for you guys)?

Yeah mine got shipped as well. Expected delivery date on Blue Dart website is showing as tomorrow itself (am also in Blore). Can't wait.Seller shipped my item yesterday. Hope it'll reach Bangalore by Monday morning, else I have to wait 2 weeks to get the Laptop.
Thanks for the info man. What about the other user who bought it along with you. @joel.elias.333 can you also confirm if your laptop has the same HDD as @aman.pitbull? Because in the listing (from which you guys bought it) it was mentioned as 5400rpm. I know I'm bringing up the same subject again and again but I need to know that I didn't pay the extra few thousands to get a slower HDD (5400rpm performs poorly at games with constant texture-streaming).

It was seller's mistake I think. After aman.pitbull pointed out a few things, he corrected them in the new listing. Here are things he corrected.
RAM: 4 GB DDR3 (1x4GB, 1 slot unused, MAX support 16GB)
HDD: 1 TB 7200 RPM

Yeah I hope so. I guess I just have to wait till I get my hands on the actual thing to clear the rest of my doubts. Thanks anyway.It was seller's mistake I think. After aman.pitbull pointed out a few things, he corrected them in the new listing. Here are things he corrected.

It does not matter whether you are a "techy" or non-techy. Everyone needs warranty support. Unless you are rich and plan to dump in the garbage if it has a problem which you connot solve. Also mind you that laptop's repair charges (at authorized service centers) are usually higher than a desktop component esp when the motherboard needs to be replaced which comes to thousands and even more for a premium product. Just a warning to people who think that they can do fine without warranty."Does extending the laptop warranty to 3 yrs offer any benefit for a techy user ?
