User reviews
★★★★★ Update 3 -- Some more updates on the Display. Checkout the article titled "Avoid these subpar Panda LM156LF IPS displays" on notebookcheck site for more info. Entry and Mid range Gaming laptop are not expected to have exceptional displays but that doesn't justify giving below average, cheap and outdated panel. Again the display in this is not so bad that it will ruin the experience in anyway but a better panel was expected.- Consider this as an entry level gaming laptop. The GPU is not as powerful as the Processor we have in this. If someone doesn't need a powerful CPU then they may also consider 5600H + 3050 combination if available cheaper for entry level gaming and on other hand for people not looking to game that much, 4800H + 1650 combination will also work. I am using this for development, coding and work related activities and casual gaming.- The best feature I liked till now of this laptop is its battery, Keyboard and led on them, plastic build quality, SSD speed and RAM & SSD expandability while display, audio, WiFi 6 and Camera could have been better.- Power profiles are auto switched by Asus's Armoury Crate software. It affects how fast battery is draining and laptop is heating. I found Windows profile to be best overall.-----------------------------------------------------------------Update 2 -- Battery backup is around 5 hours if not playing games- Finally the model started showing up in Asus promo website so I registered for 2 years extended warranty @ Rs. 999. But offer description says 1 Year Base warranty + 1 Year Extended Warranty so that part was confusing. I purchased it anyway, will update the once it arrives. May take up to 45 days.- Laptop has decent thermals, for detailed review I would recommend the review done by Venom's Tech on YouTube. It is the same laptop but different front color and design.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update 1 (Edited) -Review after first few weeks of usage (non gaming review).- Keyboard keys are nice and led on them go super bright. No issues there. Touchpad was a bit rough initially but has smoothen out after continuous usage.- Laptop built quality is good, typical Asus Tuf kind. Extra vent opening in back just below 2 fans and side vents too (all side vents are open) on right side. Laptop has some good weight to it.- Camera is just average, don't expect much (0.9 MP, 720p)- Audio is on lower side. Need to keep system audio at 100% most of the time.- Max GPU Power draw I observed in HWiNFO was 77.3 W @1950 MHz under full load (plugged in). Max gpu temp reached 85.5 °C.- AMD Ryzen 7 4800H is almost 1.5 year old but still holds rank in top 50 in notebookcheck's cpu benchmark so it is good enough for me. Laptops having latest gen processor, that are higher ranked like 5800HS, 11800H, 5900HS, 5800H etc were no where close to this price range.- Fan noise under extreme load is decent, not too noisy. Rarely heard fan noise at all under normal usage like web browsing, development work etc.- Battery is too good for a gaming laptop, Easily 5-6 hours backup under normal usage, with brightness @ 60%. Battery is from Asus (A32-K55) with full charge capacity of 92385 mWh- There are 2 SSD slots. SSD present is 512GB Hynix NVMe (PCIe 4x 8.0 GT/s) and other slot is empty so can expand. No HDD slots, that space is probably take up the long battery size.- WiFi 6 is from MediaTek (MT7921 Wireless LAN Card) with max speed of 866 Mbps. I believe some cost cutting done here. Not the best WiFi 6 hardware, more like entry level.- There are 2 Ram slot. One has 8GB DDR4 RAM from Micron and another slot is empty. Crucial CT8G4SFRA32A 8GB DDR4 (also manufactured by Micron) available here on Amazon may be a perfect fit for a proper 16 GB 3200Mhz Dual channel configuration.- Display left me with mixed feeling. Its old display from 2019 (Model - LM156LF-2F01 from Panda)Brightness is decent at 100%. Keeping at 50-70% for daily usage. Sometime I feel colors are not accurate even for 45% NTSC, red seem like orange. But if not comparing with something like a smartphone its all fine and well on its own. Matte display and good under daylight. There is significant light bleed in top right corner of my unit but its limited to corner only and not spread so decided not to replace.- Display has two Refresh Rate options - 60Hz and 144Hz. On battery it auto switches to 60Hz.I tried for on going extended warranty offer at Asus @ Rs. 999 for 2 years but unfortunately the model number didn't show up on their registration page, I mailed them for same but till now didn't get any reply till now.So, All in all a good configuration for this price range. The processor may be old but the build design and manufacturing is of definitely 2021. Went with it because of the price point and battery. Rest all is good in this.----------------------------------------Reviewed on day I received -Just received it today.- Display is really 144Hz, although not mentioned on the box and the sticker for same is missing under the display- Battery is 90 watt hours- Adapter is 180 watts- Not Refurbished, As per the box it is Aug 2021 Import so brand new.So, In short the configurations mentioned in product description / details are correct.
★★★★★ It is a great deal and amazing specifications in 75k and have 75w dynamic boost in RTX 3050 with 8 core 16 thread processer
★★★★★ Well, I was little sceptical after reading one of the reviews say this is refurbished.Came brand new with Asus seal on box. Works well. Happy that I got it.
★★★★☆ The media could not be loaded. Ordered on 4th Sep 2021 and received on 5th Sep 2021. Machine is perfectly fine and works as expected, except the screen bleeding.I am right now confused whether I should go for replacement or not? :(Attached here is the video and picture of scrren bleeding. I am not sure if this is only with my laptop or anyone else is facing issues with screen.Also for those who are asking about McAfee, you will get 1 year subscription.
★★★★★ The media could not be loaded. Ausome performance. & good build quality. Love itUpdate my review later
★☆☆☆☆ As we know the gpu price is very high now and this laptop gives us RTX 3050 for 75k...... Please font fall for it coz i bought this laptop mainly for its spec.....and the performance this laptop gave was very low.... Im not saying that laptop is bad but seeing the performance of the same laptop on YouTube is completely different....eg: for me valorant is running on 100 fps on low settings but on YouTube people are getting 200 fps on high settings. So what im trying to say is buy this laptop on offline store instead of online coz after researching for long time on internet i found that the online version of a gadget is different of offline version....like the performance will be low on gadgets bought via online.....and when i contacted asus they said that i have to contact amazon only coz the laptop was online version. So if you are gonna some big budget thing....buy it in offline store
★★★★★ The media could not be loaded. I ordered it on 31 aug and I got this on 4 sept so I m really happy and 5 stars for the deliveryNow the main thing is this worthy in 75000rs so my answer is yes totally worth it just go for it before it gets out of stock or prices get increased.For packing I will give 5 stars becoz it was really in amazing packaging.It got 144hz display with rtx3050 75watt tgpAnd 2021 chassis if you wants to know more then contact me insta:- rachitgoyal1036 and youtube :Rachit goyal( th unfocused) going to post a review video tomorrow ✨peace out 💜
★★★★★ This is the 2021 variant. The images in the listing is for 2020 so don't worry you'll get the lastest R7 4800H RTX 3050 variant. Just received this an hour back and the I like what I see. Have seen a lot of reviews on YouTube to be sure that the performance is definitely worth the price. If there are any issues in this laptop then it's probably specific to my item and not the laptop in general. For 75k it's a steal. Go ahead without thinking twice!Will update more here if I notice any issues in general.
