Asus X201E-KX259D Laptop (Core i3 2nd Gen/4 GB/500 GB/DOS)

Just bought it a week back and so far superb. Got it for my wife who is an archietect primarily as a presentation tool. Even runs2D CAD satisfactority though the system specs are much below the requirements. For me weight was a major criteria followed by performance. The built is excellent and looks are premium. Win 8 boots like a breeze. The only negatives are Hardware buttons for switching off the pad not there. Cursor hence slips while typing due to accidentally tounching the pad. getting used to typing on a 11 inch netbook needs time. Pre loaded windows would have made it a winner. Flipkart delivery was perfect as usual. Tracking was precise to the hour. Amazing logistics but I believe that applies to only WS retail. I have only sourced from them till date.

This is my first review of any product bought at flipkart. I have been using the site for the past 2-3 years and was mostly satisfied on all the purchases. I liked the product so much that I wanted to write a review. It's only been 2 days since purchase now and hope that there will be a good followup review after some 6 months. Bought the product for a good price during Deepavali 2013 sale period. nnMy requirements were to buy a low cost laptop (under 30000) for everyday use viz., browsing, educational use, easy to carry and good battery performance. I did not need a CD/DVD drive and preferred the laptop to be light weight. I know how to install OS from a bootable USB (I made one myself). This ticked all my requirements and capabilities perfectly. nnSo ordered on flipkart and got it delivered in 3 working days with cash on delivery mode of payment. Installed Windows 8 from bootable USB and it is working fine now (writing the review from the laptop). Build quality is good, looks are awesome, speed is good for everyday use activities, light weight (only 1.3 kgs), battery lasts for about 3 hours. nnCons: Keyboard is very small (I guess for such a small laptop it is inevitable that some keys are compromised on the layout) and some very important buttons like home, end, pgup and pgdn are to be used along with the function button. Screen can bend to only 120 degrees, so we need to be very careful about pushing screen farther back like a regular laptop. But the laptop still gets 5 stars for the value at such a price.
