Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E430 (3254-T1Q) Laptop (Core i3 2nd Gen/2 GB/500 GB/DOS)

I have been a hardcore thinkpad fan and have used a variety of thinkpad products. Especially the T series rocks. I recently had my T420 fail and wanted to look for a little cheaper replacement. I went with E430.nnI am very disappointed with the build quality of this laptop. The keyboard panel on top left started pealing off in just a day of usage. I thought I have a defective piece and called up flipkart. They promptly agreed to replace mine and I got a brand new one replacing it. just about couple of days, the new one showed the same sign, the top panel pealing off (about 1mm and would start making a locking/unlocking sound when you hold your laptop there).nnAdded to that, the mouse pad is little loose (unlike the first E430). I am fed up with this laptop and dont think I should trouble flipkart for this. I did read reviews before selecting this, as I was ok with all the design flaws (like very small function key letters, lack of leds etc), but over and above these flaws, I didnt expect lenovo to have poor build quality. I have been used to probably the sturdy beast like T series, but still, I am not complaining after couple of years of usage, couple of days, definitely very bad build quality.nnIt is definitely cheaper, but still, it could have been a little better.

I bought the laptop and was happy with the set, however when I tried skyping, I found the camera was not working! So I called the Levono Customer Care, they asked me a whole lot of questions which I answered and then I asked them for the complaint no. they did not give it to me instead they gave me the Service Centre no. When I called Hi-Tech Infomatics, they asked me for the Service Order no. So again I called the Customer Care took the Order no. and then they accepted the laptop. Now, the Service Centre tells me that the Camera has to be replaced and it will take 3-4 working days. However, when I call them they are not taking the call. Leave alone a replacement as the laptop was just a week old!nnAll I want to advise is that if anyone purchasing a laptop from Lenovo, please check that everything is in working order.
