[Kandegedara]

I'm looking to buy a laptop and finally I have to select one from ASUS X555LJ i7 and Dell Inspiron 5558 i7. As I searched Dell is having most of my requirements except HD screen. I need FHD screen as well as 2GB / 4GB Nvidia 920 or above VGA. My budget is maximum $ 850. what should I select ?

The choice between the 2 is obvious. The Dell doesn't have a full HD screen, as you've already mentioned. So the ASUS wins by default. But isn't the ASUS way above your budget?

Yes in that case ASUS wins. In Sri Lanka ASUS X555LJ i7 laptop is about 795 USD. so it's ok with my budget. But the case here is, it says that ASUS has low TECH SUPPORT.

How much does ASUS' lousy tech support matter? If you don't need it, it doesn't matter at all. If you do end up needing it, it could matter a lot.

thank you very much for your replies and finally tell me what is better, ASUS X555LJ or Dell inspiron 5558 when consider all specifications ?

Well, they both have the same CPU and GPU, RAM and DVD writer. But the ASUS has a full high definition display. I would buy the ASUS if it was me. But it shows it as sold out at that link.

Once Asus had been very famous for their high build quality. Will that add an extra value on the brand to sell their products for a higher price than dell does?

The difference between the 6th gen cpu and 5th gen cpu is probably only about 5%. Not even noticeable in real world applications. Also, if both have the same gpu (920m), it is weak enough that it wouldn't make use of all 4gb VGA anyway. The 2 gb version should be enough. I'd still choose the ASUS.
