ASUS K501UX-FI097T

[villan]

Any comments on this model? Going for $1.6k...

K501UX-FI097T (4K Display Model)
i7-6500U (2.5GHz Turbo to 3.1GHz)
16GB DDR3 RAM (8+8)
1TB SATA(5400) + 256GB SSD
NVIDIA GTX950M (4GB)
15.6" QFHD (3840x2160)

Unfortunately, the i7-6500U's are dual cores and the performance is only marginally better than the i5-6200U, and you pay about $100-150 increment in price for it. I'm not entirely sure how well a dual core processor (even if it's an i7) can utilise the 16GB of DDR3 (not DDR4) ram.

so at 1.6k...not bang for buck?

I think it depends on what you intend to use it for. Spec wise I think the Aftershock M-15 series may be better at that price range, except it isn't a 4k screen. You can probably check it out.

For the average user, I'd say go for it.

Won't see much performance difference unless you are video editing and stuff.

256GB ssd would come in very handy for most too.

Sorry to hijack this thread, is there any other model with 4k display but with quad core processor? Other brands also ok but budget maxed at $2k.

The question is do you really need 4k on 15 inches plus asus k series don't really have nice screen. Recommend Aftershock m15 for that budget you have.
