    how good is this machine? im an engineering student looking for a laptop that can play medium end games, and this comes under my budget, at around Indian Rs. 40,000(~730 USD).
    The price seems ok. just want to know whether this model has any specific problems as such. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

    Asus K53 is probably the best medium - gaming laptop for that budget on the market. You don't get SSD drive or a high - resolution screen, but for the money invested you can't really achieve a better laptop nowadays.

    See if there are some back to school discounts on Asus' website you can make us of.
