A Review on Flipkart and Ws Retail

I have received a defective product. The display of the netbook is not working. Whats even worse is that flipkart and ws retail has repeatedly ignored my complaints for a replacement so much so that even after repeated complaints, I have not received a single correspondence from their end in this regard. Been 3 weeks.. Lost all trust in Flipkart and Ws Retail.. market place model should not absolve flipkart of its responsibilities. IMO flipkart should only be trusted for buying books. Now it has come to this: Flipkart after more than a month asks me to edit my review or else they will remove the review ! what a market place they have created, where a customer cannot even raise his voice. Shame!!!

Simple and useful

My wife joined part time MBA, so she needed a laptop for her studies and net browsing. I was planning to buy a tab with a case and keyboard, but she was not ready to take it. So searched for Netbooks and found this Netbook. One of my friends are working with ASUS, he also suggested this model. He was ready to buy it for me under employee scheme, but the price was based on last months market price. Finally there were not much difference from what flipkart was offering. It was a great deal considering the cash back offer on Standard Charted card. Product was delivered with in 2 days of ordering. Only glitch was that it doesn't have an O.S. Tried installing WinXP, it doesn't work. Finally installed Win 7, however faced so many issues with drivers, mainly the wireless lan driver. So at last switched to Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit version and everything worked out of the box. In terms of usability, it just fits into my wife's purse and the battery backup is also good. She is quite happy with it though not much comfortable with the Linux. Now I am waiting for an offer on Win 8, so that I can switch back to Windows again..

the best available netbook!

I bought this laptop a month ago from asus store as flipkart did not feature this one then. This is the first 10.1 inch netbook that features a 1366x768 resolution (flipkart mentioned it as 1024x600 but it is 1366x768 actually). I have installed windows 8 in it and it works like a charm without any issues( it also has windows 8 start key) . The touch pad also supports windows 8 gestures. It can perfectly play 1080p and blu-ray videos without any lag.The processing speed is lower but it is not a matter of concern for what a netbook is made for. You cant expect it to run high end applications like gaming and video editing. But it is perfect for all low profile works like browsing, office, watching movies, etc. And what more!! it has a720p camera and also features one usb 3.0 port which can transfer files at speeds up to 5gbps. Even the sound output is very good. For all those who know what a netbook is made for, this one will be a perfect choice. And as usual it is cheaper in flipkart.

Best netbook for the price

Ordered the asus nb on 3rd march and received two days later. I specifically chose for a light programmable device meant to carry around and for being the current cheapest netbook in flipkart with all the features I require. I'm writing this review from a perspective of a linux user, after installing Debian (wheezy 7.4 netinst, amd64 version) and using it for a couple of days. +++ ♠ Obviously, having no windows preinstalled brings joy! ♠ Lightweight as expected. ♠ Was able to install LUKS encrypted debian wheezy easily. (Encrypt if you keep official or private documents) ♠ Tested all hardware/ports, and they work (except cardreader). ♠ Draws at most only 30W of power. ♠ Battery capacity is really good, which is on par with bigger notebook PCs. Slow charging is because it's designed for low powered PC, I don't care anyway. ♠ No proprietary drivers were required for any hardware. Happy that the wireless card was not broadcom's. --- ♦ The cardreader is some creepy hardware, did not get detected by any linux distribution. ♦ USB3 gave only a slight speedup (about 60MBps instead of the average 40MBps), though I doubt it could be due to OTF encryption. ♦ The VGA port is close to the power socket, some VGA connectors can be large and we cannot simultaneously plug in both the power and VGA cables. It would have been better if VGA and HDMI ports were closer to each other instead. ♦ The power socket feels a bit loose, don't know whether it's the case with only my piece or not. ♦ The touchpad is stupid, the buttons are placed underneath it at the bottom. If we try to press a button, the pointer mostly moves away from the target! ♦ Image from the camera is reversed, as some others have observed. Can be rectified with software, though. Postscripts: ♣ Try to get it from WS Retailers, I think they offer the goods for the cheapest price. (lesser than Rs 15200 due to an offer that day) ♣ It gets hot as mentioned by others (about 60-65 deg C on average load and upto 88 deg C on single core full load), but it provides good insulation so that our hands do not feel uncomfortable. Their manual clearly mentions not to place it atop body, anybody complaining about it RTFM! Just for some benchmarking: ♣ Compiling linux kernel 3.13.6 for this set of hardware (using localmodconfig option) took about 48 minutes on a single core. ♣ Building sagemath 6.1.1 from source took 6h48m, also on single core. Since I can easily workaround the negative points, I'll give it a 5 on 5. I'll update if I have more to tell or stumble on something!
