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!!

meets all the expectations.
Flipkart service was also good. I had to leave for college the same day of delivery, so I contacted the ekart service and they delivered the laptop to me at 8:30 am. amazing.
now the laptop meets all the expectations you would have based on it's specs. it's super quick.
played Hitman 2016 and it is super smooth.
highly recommended.
also, I frequently checked back on this product before ordering. after 2 days. it showed me 4000 discount which was not available on my sister's account.so...

Bought this laptop very soon after it became available on Flipkart. I had concerns if the specs were correct, but I can confirm the specs given here by Flipkart is accurate.
i5-8300H and 1050Ti combo is great, can play any modern games at high settings smoothly. Everything else works extremely fast as well. The i5 8th gen processors are a significant improvement over last year's 7th gen processors, especially in multi threaded workloads. This means things like Android Emulator for developing android apps and operating systems inside virtual box, rendering videos etc runs extremely well.
The default settings allow the 1050Ti to be used only when laptop is charging, this can be changed in windows settings but battery drains extremely fast when 1050Ti is used all the time. The 120W adapter is strong enough to charge the laptop up while gaming.
The area of the keyboard around the O, P and L keys gets very warm while gaming. I was initially concerned but detailed reviews online seems to suggest these temperatures are normal. The area around the WASD keys have a fan directly underneath them and is always kept cool. Turning on fan overboost mode significantly reduces the temperatures, I recommend to use it all the time while gaming. The GPU and CPU are kept at 65-75 C while gaming and does not thermal throttle regardless of fan overboost being on or off. The left palm-rest is always very slightly warmer than the right palm-rest (due to the hard disk directly beneath) and can be mildly annoying for some people.
The screen is an IPS display with 60hz refresh rate, very good color and contrast as expected from an IPS screen.
The fan noise is acceptable in silent or balanced fan mode, but it is quite high when fan overboost is turned on. Using headphones highly recommended while gaming.
Battery life is decent, I get about 3.5 - 4 hours on battery while web surfing and watching movies.
The speakers get surprisingly loud, as loud as a small dedicated bluetooth speaker. The bass is lacking however and sound distorts at very high volumes. The quality of the included mic and webcam is average at best.
The keyboard has red backlighting with 3 levels of brightness. But at the lowest level of brightness the lights under many keys noticeably start flickering, so I recommend to at least put it on 2nd level of brightness. The ASUS logo on the lid lights up red when the screen is on, which is very cool.
Some things that most people fail to notice:
The SSD in it is a PCIe SSD, which is about 70% faster than a SATA SSD present in laptops like Acer Predator and Acer Nitro, which is a pretty noticeable difference. (Windows boots in 5-7 seconds)
The 8GB of RAM is clocked at 2666MHz (most other laptops in the segment have 2400MHz RAM) which is nice.
The hard disk is a hybrid hard disk (I thought this was exclusive to US models, was surprised to find it in Indian variant as well) which means it will load frequently accessed files (such as your most played games) much faster than a regular hard disk.
One thing I didn't like is the device does not come with a warranty card, I'm told to just use the Flipkart invoice for claiming warranty which is very questionable.
But overall a great device, very glad I made this purchase!
