Good Value for money!

Initially I wanted to purchase the Core I-5 variant of this model, but a delay in the decision making process resulted in the piece going 'out-of-stock' on Flipkart. So I decided to settle for the younger sister model, the Core I-3 variant.nnFirstly, I'll list the cons about this particular model:-nn1. The laptop is actually much smaller than shown in the picture, and may cause a new owner to think it's too small, especially the screen size which appears to be more 13.3" in size.n2. The plastic bezel surrounding the screen looks a little cheap, plasticky and takes away the 'premium' feel of this laptop.n3. No dedicated graphics for gaming freaks.n4. The processor is a 2nd generation I-3.(incidentally, the piece I got has the 2328m variant, and not 2330m as mentioned in the FK specs).n5. That's it, no more cons!!nnNow, on to the Pros.nnBelieve it or not, but the feature count on this machine is simply unbelievable!! Here goes:-nn1. 7200 RPM HDD, for higher and faster spin-up and spin-down speeds. Results in better performance overall.n2. 4 USB ports, out of which 2 are Hi-speed USB 3.0.n3. Fingerprint scanner included...say goodbye to passwords!n4. Bluetooth Ver. 4.0. Simply awesome performance, especially after pairing with my beloved Samsung Galaxy Note.n5. Super Battery backup. I actually got 6 full hours of real-use battery runtime!! Listening to music, watching a few videos and transferring data. This is phenomenal for a machine in this price band! Incidentally, FK mentions only 3 Hrs in the Specs section.n6. It has the usual plethora of other goodies like HDMI, MC reader and Wifi.n7. The Music quality is awesome with an emphasis on powerful Bass and a highly musical quality to the sound.n8. Super light-weight and compact, looks tiny as compared to the picture.n9. Solidly constructed with good quality plastic(except the screen bezel), no flex or bending near the hinges.n10. Driver disk is included in the package which has a really comprehensive count of all the necessary drivers as required for the proper functioning of all hardware on this machine. Hats off to Lenovo!nnAll-in-all, an awesome machine, could have been a bit bigger in size, but ends up being more light and compact as a result. Sheer value for money and the asking price. More geared for business/professional use, and should prove to be quite a hardy machine indeed!

It gave me 60mbps when coping from an external hard disk using usb 3.0.nFans are never noisy. No severe heating problemnFinger print reader is cool. No need to type passwords.nKeyboard quality is good.Though it does not have separate numpad but some keys can be used exactly as numeric keys by using Fn key ncons:n2gb ram is low but has an empty slot.nsound quality is ok.nI have been using this laptop for a month without any problems.nIf you are not much into playing games, this laptop is the best
