Flipkart still not mature

The problems I faced while buying the product.nn1- I got SMS that item has been delivered before 2 hours of Item delivery to me, which created panic on my side, I raised a complain to flipkart.nn2 - Received product in good condition, packaged well. But the invoice is wrong one, the serial number on laptop is different than serial number in invoice, raised a complain to Filpkart. There could be either wrong item delivered to me or wrong invoice.I talked to customer care they sent updated invoice.nn3- The product described as there are 2 RAM slots, I wanted it to upgrade RAM to 6GB/8GB,so I talked to DELL technical guys to help on this matter, but I came to know the laptop has only one RAM slot. I talked to Flipkart customer care, they said that they will replace the item and ensured that new laptop will have 2 RAM slots.nn4 - Received the laptop, but the packaging was not so good this time. but the laptop is in good condition, talked DELL technical guys to upgrade RAM, they said again laptop has only one RAM slot, so you have to remove existing 4GB ram and have to buy new 8GB RAM, which will cost some 7K. So raised a complain to flipkart, they said they will take escalate the matter and resolve the matter soon. nnSo my question to Filpkart is description is wrong ? or you are delivering wrong item to me ?nMy suggestion to buyer is please ensure that you got your item as describednnI bought this laptop thinking 2 RAM slots and So I can easily upgrade it, my decision would have been changed to buy other laptop.nnSo as a whole I got frustrated, wasted time talking with customer care executives , and thought never to buy any costly item on-line.

Tale of two Dells

Its been six years with Dell Studio 1535 and its been great. As the life gets busy, workload increases, it was time for another laptop for my wife for her projects. Priorities were sturdy build, decent computing power, little lighter, good battery life and price under 30K. Gone through all reviews and specifications from all possible products from different manufacturers through flipkart and official product websites. Some of the points are as follows.nnWhy not touchscreen? Good question. Most of the touchscreen laptop under 30K comes with intel CDC or PDC processors. I wanted to have current generation processors which are more power efficient. Many people have reported sluggishness with PDC and CDC even without touchscreen. Some has even reported that many high quality videos don't play at all. I have lots of full HD videos from handycam so wanted to stay away with these processors. Furthermore, many have reported touchscreen issues after upgrading to W8.1. However, I believe it should be fixed soon by MS, if any.nnSo that zeroed in to only two options Asus X200CA with DOS and 3rd Gen i3 and Dell Vostro with Ubuntu and 4th Gen. i3. nnI had almost decided to go for Asus for its much lighter weight, smaller screen size and price tag. But there were just couple things against it. First is the color. We have only white color for this model in India which I thought would make it dirty very soon. And second is battery life. Many people with similar Asus models of 12" displays have reported battery life of couple of hours for moderate use. I guess this is expected as it is just 1.2 kg in weight. However, it was a bit low for us. And a minor thing was build quality and wifi connectivity. Nexus7 I have has very poor wifi connectivity so little skeptical about that. But many people have reported excellent build quality of this laptop. nnSo finally ordered this laptop and received in couple of days. No need to pay extra for one day delivery.nnAs for the title of this review, here it goes:nnBuild: Studio any day, much sturdy. But its heavier by a kilo and bulky too. In absolute sense, Vostro build is decent enough to carry to office everyday on a two-wheeler.nnPortability: Vostro for the reason mentioned in build. nnLooks: Subjective. Studio more stylish but Vostro has nice texture.nnPerformance: Surprisingly Studio is little faster of course by its rated speed of 2.1 GHz vs n1.7 GHz of Vostro. But not noticeable in routine tasks.nnKeyboard: Vostro keys are separate with more distance between them. I guess its just a matter of time to get used to it. So far Studio keyboad has been a good experience.nnTouchpad: Studio has smaller touchpad so not much finger movement is needed. Vostro needs more movement and more pressing.nnDisplay: Vostro is better with widescreen and anti-glare. Brightness could have been more. Also 14" seems to be just right for us. I think 12"/10" is not that comfortable.nnHeat-up: Studio does heat up with high clock speed and core2 duo. With 4th Gen i3, Vostro runs much cooler.nnDVD: I like slot-loading DVD of Studio better than the tray one on Vostro. But Vostro has the advantage that it can play small DVD. I could not load small size DVD on Studio. Downside of Vostro is that you should be cautious when carrying the laptop by hand. try not to lift from the side of DVD tray, it looks as if it may come out.nnBattery: Advantage Vostro with 4th Gen i3. People have reported 5-6 hours, I am yet to test but initial usage looks promising. Studio has 2.5 hours.nnWeight: 2 kg for Vostro vs 3 kg of Studio.nnDedicated switches: Studio has dedicated wifi switch and touch keys for volume and player. I wish Vostro had them too as I use them frequently.nnRest of the things are more or less the same. Personally I would pick Studio anyday as I only use it at home. But since my wife takes her laptop to office, Vostro fits well with light weight, less bulk and good battery life without compromising performance. Btw, it runs smooth on W7 as well. Only hitch being we need to download drivers from Dell website as they don't provide installation disk at all as it comes with Ubuntu.nnHope my long review has been helpful to you. Cheers!

Budget friendly Laptop with good specs

Pros: nGood battery life 4-5 hrs can be extended to about 7 hrs by using Dell extended battery options.nGood graphic card can be used for playing decent quality gamesnDecent processor and RAMnQuite slim and lightweight and I like the texture and feel of the laptop.nFree antivirus subscription and backpacknnCons:nNo backlit keyboardnNo driver disc supplied in the box. No ubuntu re-install disc as wellnNo HDMI portnNo dedicated wifi on-off switchnnThose who are planning to install Windows 7. Please download the LAN and Wireless card drivers in advance before formatting and installing Windows 7 as the LAN port nor the wireless card will work without installing the drivers. If you do not have the drivers downloaded then you would need another laptop to download these and use the USB drive to copy the drivers and install them, then only you will be able to connect to internet and download the remaining drivers.nnI bought the laptop a few days ago at Rs.29,800/- and at that price its a great buy.
