I have used it for a week now and these are my impressions: 1. Good Configuration. 2. Good speed. 3. Budget Range. 4. Slot for RAM expansion. 5. Slim 6. Light weight compared to Lenovo Laptops. 7. Only warm after use (Not tried gaming till now) Cons: 1. Can be full HD screen (but no other good laptop have full hd in this range)!! 2. Has to use another laptop or PC to download driver for WiFi. Then install HP assistant. 3. Slightly bigger not bulkier (Maybe because i am using a 14inch laptop till now). Nothing more..... Cons of others explained:-- 1. No OS: This can be solved if u know how to install an OS.Can install Win 8.1 in 20min. 2. Drivers can be easily found after installing WiFi driver from HP site. Install HP assistant and it will find you all that is needed or your computer. NB: It will take time to download and install the drivers. Takes more than 1GB. Use a steady WiFi. Hope this gives good option for you to decide to buy or not. No problem for techies to find solutions to these problems.!!!!
Would have been great if Driver DVD was provided as well as OS. This comes with DOS. And the HP customer care is not very much responsive about providing help.
value for money laptop, very light weight(compared to Dell, Lenevo),......... and HP after sale service is awesome. Happy to Buy it with cash bask offer.
I have been using hp 15-r204TU from 3 months.It is the best configuration if your budget is around 36k-37k.I bought it from Chandni Chowk E-Mall,Kolkata.You can buy it from Flipkart.After using 3 months I can say that this i5 machine is flawless and super speedy.I am playing FIFA 14 in highest resolution,no lagging,I play multiplayer with a gamepad and joystick. Coming to drivers installation: Nowadays most of the brands dont give the driver CDs .You have to download of your own from their official website. Best thing of buying a hp laptop is their 24x support in their tollfree number 1800 11 22 67.They are always gonna help you and call you regorously until and unless your problem is solved. Dont think twice before buying it. P.S-It has extra slot for expanding RAM upto 8GB.
Motherboard crashed ....not at all value for money. Please spent the money somewhere else .
