I bought this laptop during this Dasara/Diwali offers costing at 29500/-, 1000 gift Voucher and Dell backpack. Flipkart Delivery was fast, got it in 1.5 days. Pros : Very light weight, keys in keyboard are adequately spaced and good for medium usage of keyboard. The sound quality and viewing angles are good. Touchpad sensitivity is smooth and comfortable. The battery backup is around 5 hrs on continuous usage. Cons : I feel the there are some visible touch impressions on the screen lid and also around the touchpad.
Dell being No.1 does it's job pretty well with this new generation Inspirion 15. The machine is decently priced for the features it has. I will make it short by giving the pros & cons.nnProsn1. Excellent Battery Back up - Only 6 cell battery laptop (rest are all 4 cell) with ultra processor gives me back up of around 5.5 hrs with mixed usagen2. Dell Service Supportn3. Original Windows 8n4. Multi Gesture touch padn5. Excellent key board - very good for long emailsn6. 4 USB point (2 are 3.0 compatible)nnConsn1. Screen is not ultra vivid like sonyn2. Sound quality good for watching movies but not really a home entertainment (not really a con since most laptop are like this)n3. 15 inches is big to my taste - I wanted a 14 incher but that's being stopped by Dell in inspirion seriesn4. Built Quality is not at par to old Dell laptops but is still among best onesn5. The looks are not really you would ever fall for. Dell has kept it functional and basic more so with scratch resistant body.nnLaptop Brands I have used so far.nHP, Dell, Acer (2 laptops )nnFor the price and research I had done Flipkart was the best vendor and Dell was the best laptop:)
