I bought this laptop during the laptop sale, and got a great exchange deal on my old laptop. My observations after a week of usage:nnPros:n1) 8 GB RAM for Core i5 is great for fast performancen2) 2 GB AMD Radeon graphics card is good for light gamingn3) Other specs.....n- Low costn- Dolby audion- Good battery backup. I am getting more than 4 hours of battery even if I use Wi-Fi continuouslyn- Built-in Windows 10n- No heat issues, even while playing games or running high end VM's (like CDH quickstart) it didn't generate much heatn- 1 TB HDDnnCons:n1) Sharp edges of the body make it a bit uncomfortable. But overall fine if working on a deskn2) Doesn't come with pre-loaded MS Office. Would require additional spending of 4-5K for that, or you can go for freeware office suites availablennAll in all a good deal for the high-end specs.nn****Technical Specs***nWhen it comes to technical specification, this laptop has everything that an user wishes for.

The edges below the touchpad are not very smooth or curvy, if you type a lot on your laptop than this might not be good for you.

It was delivered in 5 days and as usual the packing from WS retail was awesome.nnPros:n- Low costn- Dolby audion- Good battery backup.
