Received this in 5 days. The laptop was packed in 3mm bubble wrap and then put in a box. So it was safe and sound. I registered the product for warranty on the official MyAsus app and it got registered, while the dedicated app for product registration showed that the product has already been registered. Build quality is good with a tad bit of flex in the screen and chasis. The processor handles everything like butter, especially in multi threaded operations, however, more CPU intensive applications demand at least an i7. NVIDIA Optimus switches off the GPU when not in use to save battery, which brings me to a weakness in this laptop - it's battery. It is not good, 4 hours maximum on full charge. The keyboard is good with decent travel and well spaced keys, the tracking uses precision drivers, so there's no questioning it. The buttons click nicely. The screen is not an average TN Panel, but it lacks brightness. The model I got delivered has Hynix RAM and SSD, which is a renowned company in South Korea. It has 1TB SSHD which is faster than average HDD. Boot time is 6-7 seconds. I haven't tried any games, will update soon with each game's FPS. One thing I've noticed is that the charger does not plug in quite well into the charging port, it wobbles a bit. And the screen wobbles very slightly too under a room fan (I have very fast spinning room fans). UPDATE: So I ran few AAA titles and everything works super smooth at Ultra-High settings. For newer games, dial it down to high. The thermals on this thing are amazing. The fans get a little loud in Boost mode, but they prevent the CPU and GPU from crossing 60-65 degrees. I recommend headphones while gaming (using boost mode).

JUST BUY IT !! DON'T BE MISGUIDED BY OTHERS. PROS -> i5 8th gen 8300H is a beast. -> GTX 1050Ti does the gaming part superbly. (Played TC GRW at ultra , COD WW2 at ultra and FIFA 19 at Ultra) -> Looks stunning. -> Backlit keyboard is great. -> Sound is immersive and loud. -> Sturdy Body. -> SSD gives less booting time. -> Overboost mode for fans cools down laptop quickly. CONS -> Temperatures of cpu and gpu are 70+ if you dont undervolt it. The two fans do great job , but can only cool the area just above it. IMPORTANT - GET BIOS UPDATE TO 312 AND WINDOWS TO 1803, WITHOUT IT YOU WILL JUST REGRET THE PURCHASE. SUMMARY ---> At 1080p all games ran butter smooth.This is better than predator. Believe me I have used it and the performance I got after the updates were mind blowing. For the price you pay its worth every penny . You may consider undervolting the CPU by -100mV and then the magic begins as there are no more thermal issues. You can easily game on it for 5 hours with charger plugged in. While gaming keep the charger plugged in.

A Very good laptop at such a low price. quite smooth finishing and grrat sound too. Resr games also run at a promised 1050ti level. Go for it.

I undervolted it to -0.140 volts ,try it for better thermals. max cpu temp before: 86, after: 70 (celcius)

A beast for a great price! I got this on Diwali and believe me it's one of the best purchases I've made. All big titles run smooth without any visible lags. I played GTA V at full HD resolution and didn't see any frame drops. Fans are good enough to throw the heat out and backlit keyboard adds to the beauty. The design is great and looks very premium. The camera, microphone and speakers are great too. The only flip side is that this machine doesn't have a CD/DVD slot, but that's anyhow not needed in today's era. Boots up very fast, thanks to the SSD. Packaging was great too! A must buy I would say!

Well well well..... This is the beast!!! that all I can say. Well for all the specification or the details at rest of the reviews ( about the specification ) are TRUE .what is not specified is about its drivers and softwares .... This things ...come pre installed so no worrying about where to look for (and also the drivers .iso file saved within c drive) really less no. Of bloatwares, comparing others as well. Boot time is max 5sec.. avg 3sec. Display is just great IPS panel with 60hz refresh rate. Well for sound its not too loud ...just avg. Speakers (would work well don't worry) With the 8th gen CPU, the gtx 1050ti (4gb) works smooth giving around max 60fps on AAA games.(avg. 40-48 on max settings) Tested games(maxed setting) : gta5 (55-45), watchdogs(65-48), pUbG (45-60), cod BO3 (60-52) Faster transfering and receiving .with hybrid sshd and ram Cooling is best. laptops gets warm but not hot at all.( no throthing ) Rest I got this on sale for 71k and its been over a week working fine . just b4 connecting to lan /wlan disable the windows update if u don't want the hazzel. (There are many optimisation methods for win10 on utube too, do check) windows 10 version 1708 which is perfect tbh. Will keep updating and for any other query about it connect me over insta @avhibiswas Chao!!

very fast delivery by Flipkart. Got it for 62k in BBD:) laptop is so good and very fast!! Tested games like fortnite, Arkham Knight , watch dogs 2 , battlefield 1 in high to ultra settings.. getting avg fps of 40-60.

Amazing build quality, great screen, 1050 Ti, 8th gen intel, ssd and sshd. All this at a great price. GO FOR IT
