Amazing Laptop from Dell

An Honest Review : First of all, this laptop is just amazing in this Price Range...!!! 100% genuine , ordered from IT World Seller. It has perfect combination i5 + Nvidia geforce 840M + touch Screen + Backlit Keyboard. I had done lot of research on laptop before buying this ,lots of research means lots of research.. i went to live stores everywhere to check this particular piece and have compared with laptops which are coming in range of above 50K Performance is good. If anyone who is confused among dell, lenovo and HP, i will suggest to got with this laptop because in other brands you will not get Nvidia geforce 840M + touch Screen + Backlit Keyboard as whole package in this price range and Nvidia geforce 840M itself a beast in sense of gaming. It has 3 modes of backlit. High , Medium and OFF. These backlit looks like diamonds on your keyboard in night. Overall, just go with this Awesome laptop.

Good Laptop

A surprisingly all-round package: i5, Touch screen, DVD drive and a decent graphics card. This variant of the 3542 model has got Nvidia Geforce 840m instead of the common 820m. This is a big deciding factor for gamers. A lot of unplayable games suddenly become playable at low/medium settings. Also, this the model from which Dell starts providing the backlight feature in its recent laptops. Backlight is cool! A very good, rather the best touch screen model around Rs 50,000.nnCons: Webcam not good, Touchpad a bit stiff and only one memory slot (upgrading means throwing away the factory RAM). But it's advertised as 2 memory slots in flipkart. That should be wrong.

Excellent, Value for Money Laptop

Perfect laptop with multiple features at a reasonable price!nnMissing Description:n1. Backlit keyboardn2. Only one RAM memory slotn3. FastAccess Facial Recognition 4 bundled software nnPros:n1. 4th Gen i5 + 4GB RAM + 1 TB HDDn2. 15.3 inch Touch Screen and Backlit Keyboard with scratch proof bodyn3. 2GB NIVIDIA 840M Graphic Card (Much better than the common 820M)n4. Dell's Best Customer Service and One Year Accidental Damage Warrantyn5. All this at Reasonable PricennCons:n1. Only one RAM slotn2. No indicator power on (there's only a battery low/charging indicator)n3. No VGA display port (not found in newer laptops)n4. The laptop body supporting the LCD is not so strong, meaning some strain on the cover may break the LCDn5. Little big and heavy laptop with no Laptop Bagn6. McAfee Internet Security 15-months Subscription (slows down the PC, uninstalled on first use!), should give Norton or Symantec antivirusnnChoosing the seller:n1. When I placed order, WS Retail was not available.n2. After reading reviews of all sellers, I bought the product it from KHInfoline seller (no Flipkart Advantage) for ? 45990 + 300 shipping for delivery within 5 days.n3. The product was packed next day of placing the order but was dispatched after 2 days, just so as to meet the delivery time at the edge.n4. Two days after placing order, it was available with another seller having Flipkart Advantage at ? 45790 for next day delivery at ? 90 and no charges for delivery within 3-4 days. (So I could have saved ? 410 and had delivery a day before than what I got.)n5. Warranty was registered 5 months ago before I ordered my laptop. I have contacted dell and they have updated it.

Paid a heavy price for nothing..

I have ordered this laptop as it had very good configurations. I ordered for same day delivery which was quite good.The supplier did not send me the OS recovery CD and Dell Driver CD along with the product packet which is not good at all.Without those CD it is useless .Flipkart should take care of such things. Also I felt that laptop does not works as per the configuration. It is bit slow and you can feel the lagging. The touchscreen is just ok but the touchpad is worst. For such a high price expectations were more. I am not much happy with this product,

Attention read it before buying !!!! Display not so good

i purchased this (laptop + Dell Targus) bag from dell showroom on the republic day for Rs 43000 /- lol flipkart, snapdeal ,amazon are selling it at higher price[ surf their websites today 10-feb ] . i would suggest you to visit dell showroom before purchasing it online cons : build of the laptop ( plastic body) . looks likes a suitcase(a friend said it ) i mean not so stylish . God knows what would happen to it , if it falls accidentally (parts would break/crack cant tell how many ) initially i had problem using the keyboard but later got used to it trust me its so soft to type Display is very essential feature while buying laptop . i ve compered it with hp laptop(pavilion g6) with same resolution . hp wins over hd clarity .I am not saying its worst and not even saying its amazing . Dont buy it if u want a full hd resoultion laptop otherwise u would regret . i would recommend hp laptops for hd display . One reason if i would ve to sell it would be because of display otherwise its value for money notebook touchscreen laptop(centre of attraction among college friends + new feature ) since its touchscreen ,so it would consume battery . I have to clean it everytime (fingerprints and swipe marks ).Get a screen guard sometime its really irritating when we are doing some work and ppl are touching on icons of screen.(dont worry u can temporarily disable it on windows and ubuntu ) pros keyboard backlight touchscreen i5 + 4GB RAM + 1 TB HDD +2GB nvidia graphic gaming experience is awesome no lags battery last for about 2-3 hours (lol sometimes its shows 14 hours of charging but it does not stay on for that time)
