User Reviews for HP Pavilion 15-n013TX (F2C10PA) (Core i5 4th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 8) Laptop

I bought this laptop from local dealer (HP word ) in Ghaziabad at lower price Pros- 1. Nvidia Geforce gt 740M; this GFX is better than Radeon HD 8830m and 8750m 2. i5 4200 U (NOT i5 4200 M); this processor is futuristic (using AVX2 and FMA instruction set) and run on (15 watt) low power so battery back-up and life is become large, NOT worried about power plug point. The processor's integrated HD Graphics 4400 offers 20 Execution Units so many games and Multimedia application runs by this without firing NVidia graphics card (called optimus technology ) 3. Look; Great white look like Apple's Mac Book-pro (slim and exotic) 4. sound, dts sound+ is working charm (no need of external speakers) 5. Low operating temperature; using HP's coolsense technology to reduce the heat. Cons- 1. Processor; low clock frequency But new Haswell architecture and new instruction-sets smokes all current and up-coming apps,games and softwares EASILY. 2. Graphics card; the memory interference of this GFX is 64-BIT to reduce power consumption But NVidia's PhysX technology compensate this for (new) games. 3. Battery ; only 4 cells, so low back-up (I am , surfing net 3 hours than using Mat Lab 2 hours ,so after continuously using 5 hours battery level going on 7%, meanwhile downloading is going on in background ). But it is very large than other (2'nd and 3'rd Gen.) laptops, which is not more than 3 hours But using 4 cell reduces the weight of laptop 4. No backlite keyboard and ordinary webcam 5. Noise ; Fan noise is there (when playing games) But it is not much to irritate me Recommended hardware and software upgrades for this laptop [ if you have extra bucks in your pockets ] :--- 1. SSD; a 250 GB ssd is worth buying for this laptop to squeeze all its performance. also ssd increases more than 1 hours of battery back-up. 2. RAM; 2 (or 4 ) GB RAM is also needed to push the laptop's performance beyond the limits. 3. Windows 8.1; upgrade the windows 8 to windows blue(8.1) (this is free of cost, but full of bugs now, games not properly runs and many other issue so pleas wait for upgrade) I think after these upgrades this laptop become batter than MacBook-air and comparable to MacBook - pro. Conclusion; this machine is both for hard gamers and for programmers/engineering students Closest competitor (at the time of purchase)- 1. Samsung's NP370R5E-S05IN Laptop. But it is not available in markets (out stock) ,even in Nehru place (N. Delhi) 2. Lenovo Ideapad Z500 but it is over priced References : 1 CPU BOSS & GPU BOSS 2 inte.com & NVidia.com & Wikipedia 3 notebookcheck.com & gamedebate.com

I got the best deal from FK for this laptop. I inquired the price for this laptop with all major retailers near my house and none of them had given this kind of offer. I also got the extended warranty and Norton internet package as gift with the HP Diwali utav offer - though the process was a bit tedious and I am yet to receive the gift. About the product: Looks classy and the premium finish. About the white colour: Have to be cleaned frequently as you can spot even a small dirt. But sometimes I think if I could have bought the black one (n012). Configuration: I wanted to buy the i5 (4th gen) and this had the best configuration for the price. 2 GB graphics card may be an overkill for a casual gamer. Though the performance is excellent for home user (Browsing, music, movies and casual games) I wish it had a SSD hard disk which could have increased the performance tremendously. Overall I am very happy with the product and is highly recommended for budget of

I bought this product from a retailer in Trivandrum since there is no shipment to Kerala available via Flipkart. Using this for last 3 weeks and I am quite satisfied with this from HP. Demand for this product is rising day by day and so Flipkart raised its price about 2K. Reasons to Love 1; 4th gen i5 is just awesome power consumption is v low compared to 3rd gen. But the clock rate is marginal but it is not noticable on ordinary usage thanks to Turbo Boost. 2; Nvidia GT740M is works great while gaming I have played Need for speed Rivals & GTA IV both of them runs smoothly on very high settings. 3; HardDisk is 1TB but nearly 930 available for usage enough for ordinary users. 4; RAM 4GB is also enough for most users but will be good if upgraded to 8GB. 5; Sound quality is good and high with DTS. 6; Picture quality is Mediocre most of the laptops in this price range has same resolution. 7; Web cam is good but not best. 8; Keyboard is Good for ordinary users but gamers will find it irritating, 9; Touch pad is good & responsive. 10; Battery backup is impressive. I am getting 3hrs for browsing. Nearly 2.5hrs while watching movies. Reasons to Hate :-( 1; Windws 8 is outrageously not user friendly. 2; Upgrading to Windows 8.1 is an headache and i upgraded it on my 3rd attempt. 3; UP & Down navigation keys are irittating, HP has split one key in to two for UP & Down nav keys so they are v v small so gamers will find it diffiult to get used to it. 4; sometimes Multi touch fn in touchpad works awkward. 5; Pearl White finish of lappy acts like a finger print magnet.

I bought this laptop at a retail store. The product is very good, it's design is stunning and lovable. Core i5 4th gen is amazingly battery efficient. The NVIDIA 740M card can run all games at high settings. Go for it!

This machine is just awesome. looks and feels great. I didn't buy this from flipkart but a local store. Pros- 4th gen i5 Battery backup is superb Zero noise only heats up when you play graphics intensive games like cod black ops 2,far cry 3 nvidia gt740m with 2 gb memory. Most of the games run fuss free with ultra settings. lastly, hp is offering diwali utsav offer which is excellent.3 yrs extended warranty, norton internet security for 1 yr and hp Accessories worth Rs.2000 FREE!! Cons- white color looks amazing but requires care. for those with a budget of 50k this is the best machine available right now. Strongly recommended.
