I have bought this product, same model as shown. UX330 QHD+ i5 7th gen 512GB. I bought it from an Asus exclusive store for Rs 83,000. I will not list out the pros and cons as you can already find those in various blogs(Laptop Mag, notebookcheck, trusted reviews,expert reviews etc) and have a better idea.
Just keep one thing in mind that the i5 FHD 256GB variant in India does not come with Wide Viewing Angle (IPS display). In U.S, it does come. Because of this reason and less storage, I went for QHD+ WV Angle variant.
Flipkart has also mentioned this clearly in the product specification page. In FHD variant they haven't written Wide Viewing Angle Display.
Update: To the query regarding fingerprint sensor, Indian/UK units do not come with fingerprint sensor.
Update 2: It is worth mentioning that if you are considering buying this laptop, please go for QHD+(4k) model. Reason: Since it is a Matte display with a heavy coating of anti glare layer, FHD variant will not look as sharp and smooth as FHD on a gloss panel. When I went to the store, I found out that FHD panel of this variant looked as if it was a HD panel. Because of the anti glare coating, pixels on the display appear as if they are made up of small dots. On a display of resolution 4k, this problem gest undermined because of more number of pixels and the screen looks sharp and smooth. Personally, when it comes to laptops I prefer matte displays because of daylight/sunlight readability and lesser glares when you are sitting under too many artificial lighting sources. But I do mind apparent pixelation because of anti glare coating on FHD screens, because of which I went for 4K display.
