User Reviews for Lenovo essential B490 (59-369345) (Pentium Dual Core 2nd Gen/2 GB/500 GB/DOS) Laptop

It has got great look and feel.. I was really impressed with the cost. I had problem with the USB port. Out of 3 only one is working. Hence the low rating. I am going to ask for replacement. The price of the product was keep diminishing. I bought it for 24K and now it is 23K. So my advice wait for getting the best deal.

I did not buy this product from flipkart as I got same in 2k less prize from other. However I would like to let everyone know is this laptop is awesome in this price. I had installed Window 7 pro and download lenovo drivers from website. Everything works pretty smooth. No matter what other company offers. Lenovo is Lenovo. I am hardcore fan of lenovo laptop. If you are looking for budget and robust laptop, go for this one, however you should know how to make a bootable CD/USB to install OS as it does come with DOS.

I had high hopes on this product after seeing all the reviews on other websites. I received it to utter disappointment. It does not have boot from USB option. So instead I installed Win8 which was crashing down often. I learned that this problem doesn't occur on my other laptop(Dell Vos) where I had installed using the same CD. So my guess is that there is something wrong with this machine. I am going to ask for replacement. You don't want to go through this problem. So think twice before ordering. Otherwise the look and feel are good. I would have rated 4 if OS was not crashing.

CONS :- *This Particular Model Dont Come with Finger Print Reader So Dont Go On pics !! *It only have 1 usb 3.0 port not 2. *There is No Driver CD with the lapi you have to download its driver from Lenovo website Size around 600 MB. *Without Drivers Nothing Will Work Wifi, Bluetooth camera nthing !!(You Need Drivers after installing them ummmm utterly Buttery Delicious :-) ) Final Verdict :- GO GO GO For this If you want lapy in this price range !!! I will give it 4.5 out of 5.

Excellent product from Lenovo. Flipkart's delivery service was very satisfactory. It would have been better if Windows OS and Driver CDs were provided.
