29 Mar 2015 By Arun Raj On flipkart.com

Wow I can't expect this only little bit heat while playing games 100% you can go for it in 8gb ram 7.92gb is usable beat audio gives best effect in head phone than loud speaker NVidia geforce830m is better than geforce840m

Not the best laptop

22 Feb 2015 By Ashish Qudrat On flipkart.com

This is first laptop in 5th Gen line of CPU's and costly. I bought it after considering many other options and to be true not a big fan of the product. It lags somtimes and seriuosly dosent responds as per specs. Display is ok not great and belive me it does hangs. Consider other more budget options before taking your call to purchase.
