Acer Aspire V5-123 (NX.MFRSI.003) Laptop (AMD Dual Core/4 GB/500 GB/Windows 8)

This is a neat little notebook. It is light weight, especially when I compare it to my Thinkpad x130e.nnAt first we were not sure if this netbook would run Windows 8 smoothly, but, we were surprised to find that it does run Windows 8 fairly smoothly. Please note that we haven't run any heavy duty apps like word, excel, etc, on this laptop yet so we don't know the suitability of this laptop for such apps.nnKudos to flipkart for delivering it "literally" the next day. We ordered the notebook late in the night and it arrived literally the next day. The package came well packed, as expected from Flipkart/WS-Retail.nnNow the issues:nn---- with Acer ----nBut, the charger we received with the netbook was not working as delivered. I think this was more of an Acer issue than a Flipkart issue.n nWe got the charger fixed at an Acer service center. Unfortunately, we sent the notebook through someone else, a relative, and all our personal information: like name, address and phone number, etc, was recorded by the Acer service center ... for a mistake they made in giving us a bad charger. We are not sure how Acer is going to misuse our information. We hope they don't.nnNOTE (for other users who may face similar problems) that this notebook uses a 40W charger which is NOT available in retail stores. The usual Acer power-cord brick you get in retail stores in 60W. So, don't use the brick to charge this notebook, you may ruin it permanently.nn---- Flipkart Support ----nAlso, although we had initial problems with Flipkart support, but after the "sister" directly contacted the "big-brothers," Flipkart support went through the roof: It was awesome, with a very well spoken person (not sure if we can mention his name on a public forum) contacting us everyday to make sure we were getting the problem resolved. Again kudos to Flipkart support. nnAlthough we would really want to see Flipkart becoming an awesome "Indian" company providing great support even without involving the "big-bros". nn---- In conclusion ----nSo far the notebook hasn't been put to much use, but, we will from now on, so we may update this review later. But, for now ... so far so good.nnThx for reading!nMahesh (for G)
