HP Pavilion 15-e001AX Laptop (AMD Quad Core/8 GB/1 TB/Windows 8/1)

I have been using this for 2 weeks. nnMy observations & Suggestionsnn1) Excellent Performance. AMD is beyond expectations. Exceeded Intel i5 Performance I guess. That too it is quad core Processor.n2) Fast bootup. With in 3-4 secondsn3) 3.5 hours Battery backup. 5 hours when WIFI is OFF. n4) Good utilities by HP.n5) Win 8 working great. Good hardware & Software combination.n6) Generating very low heat even working for 10 hours continuously.n7) Nice design & slim laptopn8) Sound quality is Good.n9) 8 GB of RAM is more than enough. Even I run many big applications at the same time, it is just using 3GB of RAM.n10) Quality of HD cam is OK.n11) 1TB is is more than enough.nn- Take the entire backup of win 8 using HP Recovery Media to DVD. This is the first step you have to do. If you divide drive into partitions, it'll won't work. So be care full.n- Activate your OS & Product from their websites.nnI didn't find any cons yet. Best laptop for Officials, Gamers, Students.nnGo ahead. I think It is the best product among all the laptops in 40k range.

I bought this laptop in a know shop and no from Flipkart.nI have been using this laptop for nearly a month. I have been soo amazed by its performance i wanted to give it a review.nnDisplay:nnThe display is 1366*768 resolution and is 15.6 in diagonal, it is a backlit LED Display, so the display shows the details of a picture or a video clearly and even the texts are pretty clear.nnAPU-CPU+GPU:nnCPU:nnAs the title explains, this particular model contains an AMD APU A10 5750M,nTill now this particular version of APU is the fastest till now for laptop, check the benchmarks for more information.nEven though it is AMD's most powerful APU for mobile devices aka laptops, it lags behind Intel. For basic processing its slutter free but when it comes into CPU intensive tasks like nVideo Convesion etc is take far longer than intel, for eg, an Intel i5 3230M can convert an video in 10 seconds, the AMD APU will take 1 Minuit and 20 seconds, since this laptop is mainly for Gaming the processing power will be enough.nnGPU:nNow the GPU is the super star in this laptop, it uses two graphic cards, one integrated and another one dedicated.nNow both the GPU's combine and work for better gaming performance, and it is called as Cross firing.nMost of the people when buying Graphics Cards they only see the Memory of the Graphics card thinking only that is responsible for gaming performance, the answer is a big no.nThe Memory of the graphic cards only comes into play when the resolution is huge, for example, when you play games in higher resolution such as bigger than Full HD or 1080p nthen only that Memory capacity will be fully used.nThere are other functions of a gpu is the Memory Speed, Memory Bandwidth and Shader Speed.nWhen we take the resolution of this current laptop which is 1366*768, an 1GB Graphic Memory is more than enough since the resolution is quite low.nThe big plus point in this APU is that the cross fire enables the gaming performance to be soo much better, now going on to the Gaming Performance.nnGaming Performance:nFPS means Frames Per Second and the minimum FPS required to have a slutter free experience is 30 FPS.n nHitman Absolution: At High Graphics Setting, it gives a good 35-45 FPSnnDMC5- High being the Maximum, it gives a constant 50+ FPS nnLa Noir- At the highest Graphics level, 40-50 FPSnnCOD Black Ops- At Highest Graphics Level, 55-70 FPS.nnNFS Most Wanted 2012- At Medium Level graphics, 35-45 FPSnnDishonored- At highest Graphics level, 45-60 FPSnnBattlefield 3-At Low- 35-45 FPS and at Medium - 25-35 FPSnnNotice how the performance of this machine is above the Nvidia's GT650M Graphics Card? Its because of the cross fire technology.nThis machines GPU is so much under rated in many online benchmarks because they do not check the real life performance of the card and only to give it maximum load of non real life stuff.nFor most hardcore gamer's, they expect at least 80+ FPS for an awesome gaming experience but for me this is more than enough.nnSpeakers:nIt has Stereo DTS which are loud enough to watch movies and play games.nnKeyboard:nPretty good for a budget laptop but the main disadvantage in the keyboard is the very small arrow keys, other than that is pretty good. nnTouch Pad:nThe touch pad in laptop is very poor, its not sensitive and if double clicked it accounts as single click, it better suited to use a wireless mouse.nBut the touchpad contains features like Multitouch, to zoom pictures or web pages you can pinch to zoom using the touch pad itself.nnWeb Cam:nNever used it more than once, but the quality is mediocre.nnConclusion: nThis laptop is mainly for build for Gaming and it does so, the boot time it takes no longer than 15 seconds.nIf you want a gaming laptop and your budget is 40k you cannot find an better laptop than this.n Never believe online benchmarks because they dont test the real life performance of the graphic cards, for example they said, this particular graphic card series cannot even runnHitman Absolution in Low graphics setting but in real life, i can play the same game at high setting with 35-45 FPS.nAnd sorry for the long review, i just wanted to add all the information.
