Lenovo Diwali offer of additional 2 years of warranty + Flipkart Diwali offer of 5k cashback effectively reducing the cost to 36k makes this laptop superb value for money for me. Coming to the Laptop, I am pretty satisfied with the Laptop. The newer 4th generation laptops really stands out compared to the previous generations of processors especially in the Battery department. It do returns 5 hours of battery life under medium usage. Lack of external graphic card bundled may look disappointing. But the newer generation of processor comes with Intel HD 4600 which is a again a big improvement over Intel 4000 series. I am able to play most of medium graphic req games such as Fifa 14 etc very smoothly. Also the advantage of Intel HD 4600 is that it produces less heat compared to the external bundled graphic card. Thus improving the life span. Laptops are to be avoided for high gaming purpose IMO. External graphic cards on lappie produces lots of heat and unlike the desktop version, they dont have in build cooling system with it. Through a copper plate, heat is dissipated which is not as effective as the overhead fan. Therefore the laptops with graphic card have lower life and the graphic card is also not repairable. Reballing dont work. They are temporary solutions. U need to replace the motherboard which is costly. The Screen is not Anti-Glare which is fine for me. The screen is a finger print magnet. But again easy to swipe it off. The Color reproduction and the contrast levels is quite good. HD Movies are a joy to watch. The Dolby Advanced Audio really makes a differenece. U get a feeling of surround system audio from ur laptop which is really good for me. The Sound output levels is also quite good for me. KeyBoard layout is good. None of the keys makes any noise except for Space which is normal. Ergonomics is also good and I find enough support for my wrist while typing. The Touch Panel is multi touch. Which means u have enough gestures to make WIndows 8 features stand out. example two fingure swipe to switch over the apps. Laptop is very quite and cool. Enough after heavy prolong usage my laps dont find it discomforting. Regarding the processor, ram, hdd, The technical sheets speaks for itself. The laptop has an unused memory slot which means u can upgrade the memory very easily. All in all, I am very Satisfied with my investment. Its cheaper than the alternatives and I find it no way inferior to its competitors. Edit: The Laptop bag which comes with this laptop is very basic and inferior quality. Dumped it.
