Some good features of this laptop is-

Ordered on - 7th June, Delivered on - 9th June.
Packaging - Have always liked Flipkart's packaging. Compact and Secure.

Contents - Received all the contents mentioned + Driver's and utilities disc for Windows 7 64 bit Operating System.

Exterior looks - Sturdy, Matt Finish, Standard laptop keyboard, Led indicators for Power, charge, HDD, WiFi, Caps lock and Num lock. Connectors evenly spaced with a USB on each side.

Installation - Installed a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. Post that had a few compatibility issues installing Asus utilities that came along with it. Finally after spending close to 5 hours managed to install the required software's.

Battery backup - 3 to 4 hours of heavy usage and close to 5 hours on battery save mode.

Performance - Ice cool technology works like a wonder, didn't see any over-heating issues. Function keys have a certain lag of 1-2 seconds to respond.

Final Verdict - A good buy at 20k, worth the money spent. It gives a serious competition to its competitors.

The product is excellent.
The delivery time from Flipkart is excellent too.

My screen got damaged within 5months of usage and it is quite clear that the cause was rough handling by courier agency.
Delicate goods like laptops containing LCD screens should obviously be handled with extra care.

When i approached the authorized dealer, I learned that the screen damage is not covered under the 1yr warranty offered.

When I asked the same dealer for the price of replacement of the screen, he told me it would be 15000 +Taxes.

what was ironical is that a new identical laptop would have cost me 4-5k extra.
anyways, when a asked other unauthorized dealers about the screen price, I learned that it would cost me 7-9k aprox.

Bottom line is, you might be able to buy good products at cheap prices online BUT you never know when you might have to visit the not-so-helpful AUTHORISED DEALERS and end up spending more than you had expected.

Talking to Asus customer service executives is nothing short of a mental torture. Uncooperative and unhelpful are words to describe it.

Plus the company expects the customers to maintain hardcopies of bills/invoices for the entire warranty period!?? All other companies maintain warranty through the service tags (atleast for laptops). But this company, apparently, still runs on paper!

Had been using this laptop for basic uses, and it really functions well. other than the the pros mentioned by the other review'er it also has the latest 2nd gen processor, hence making it a real value for money.
CONS- 1)keypad is little bit woobly and is not spill resistant.
2)left side of the track pad gets pretty heated up.
