First and foremost, I am a hobbyist photographer and I was looking for a laptop which could run memory hogs like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom side by side and which have a decent display that looks color neutral (that is no shifts in color when a subject is viewed in another screen). Inclusion of a card reader is an added advantage. This translates to a laptop with a 15" viewable screen, at least 4/6 GB of RAM, plenty of HDD space and a powerful processor. nnThe above specifications being my requirement, I started searching for laptops in this range for quite some time. The laptops I fell upon were either too expensive or will miss feature which I required (for e.g. Some laptops have enough HDD space, but then they won't have enough RAM). nnAnd then, I stumbled upon this model from HP. This is exactly what I required: 15" screen, 1 TB HDD and icing over the cake, the 8 GB RAM. And on seeing the exchange offer on it, I didn't had a second thought. I exchanged my old Samsung Laptop to get a 6K instant reduction on the price. I also got a HP Laptop bag (nothing special about the bag) and Windows 8 pre-installed on it.nnIt's been a week since I got the laptop and here are my views on the pros of it: na.) The Laptop is a stunner. Quite lightweight and thin (well compared to other laptops of HP/Samsung/Dell I have seen) with good hand rest for typing and a number keypad on the right for numbers typing (which I never use, by the way, but thanks!)nb.) There is a myth that AMD processors gets overheated. Yes they were, but gone are those days. AMD processors coming out now-a-days are equally comparable to the Intel counterpart. The processor included here is a quad-core and is absolutely fast for my usage of Photography and HD video displays. There's no heating issue, even for continuous 4 years usage without AC power. nc.) Graphics, the most important part I was looking for. The laptop have a powerful dual graphics system, and you can switch between them with ease if you install (comes pre-installed) the proper Graphics drivers for ATi Radeon. nd.) Battery backup is as specified. Around 4 hours with WiFi usage kept on for straight 4 hours. nnCons for the laptop: na.) The Operating System: Yes, I meant Windows 8. First, there is a radical shift from how you use Windows (Windows 7 and earlier). There's no Start button to click and it will take a little while to get used to it. Once you get used to it, it will be a jiffy. Also, there are lots of updates and the most painful of all is the update to Windows 8.1 (The update is free for all legitimate Windows 8 user). It's a 3.5 GB download which of course takes a lot from your Internet bandwidth. The laptop could have costed even less, if it don't have Windows 8 pre-installed. nb.) The Touchpad requires a little effort using to. It will be a bit harder at first, but gradually as you use it, it will get smooth. nc.) The inbuilt speakers produce a little feebler sound as compared to other models. nd.) I am not sure, if it is a con for you or not, but it definitely is for me. The Function keys (F1/F2 etc.keys ) requires you to press the Fn key in your keyboard. As I said, I use Photoshop and Lightroom heavily and shortcut keys comes in handy in those programs; real juggling for fingers happens when I have to press a Function key combination (e.g. Alt+C+F3). My fingers are small and this requires a nice bit of exercise to the fingers. :-). nnAnd as I had the experience already in numerous products I ordered, WS Retail (aka Flipkart retailer) always delivers the product before time and in a nice package. Thanks again for the wonderful packaging and timely delivery.nnI definitely recommend this laptop if you are looking out for a powerful computing machine.
Bought this a few weeks back from flipkart. Ordered in express delivery and they were upto the mark to deliver the product in less than 36 hours.Thanks for that. Have go an awsome experience with this laptop till now. Runs my FIFA 14 top class. Radeon configurable graphics is very good. battery backup is great. Even while plying games it gives backup of around 2 hours. nnWorth a buy !!!!!!!!!!!!
