Value for Money

Pros: 1. Best gaming experience in this price range. Enough to fulfill your average gaming appetite. I have tried NFS Most Wanted 2012 version on highest graphic settings and it does not lag. And mind you it's been more than a year since I bought this laptop and it still works like a charm. But if you want to play all the new game titles like GTA 5 etc, you are simply looking in the wrong price range. 2. i3, i5, i7 processors are just specs on paper, if you are an average user like me, don't bother yourself with these little differences. Average user for me would be - Watch HD movies, browsing, music, gaming all titles till 2012 should work fine etc - this laptop can handle it easily. Cons: 1. It's bulky. For me that wasn't a problem coz I don't move it around much. it simply moves from table to my bed and nothing more. I rarely take it with me outside. 2. Buttons and trackpad clicks feel cheap. If you want aesthetics and premium feel - this is not for you. But if you want a no BS device which does what it's supposed to in the minimum price possible - go for it. 3. Screen is reflective. You have to take care that the ambient light source in the room stays behind your laptop screen. During daytime you have to keep its screen facing away from windows to have a clear view. I didn't know that before buying but I am able to manage anyways. Last thing - my keyboard got faulty just 15 days before my warranty was going to expire, some keys just stopped working out of nowhere. But I got a keyboard replacement within 7 days from Lenovo, no questions asked - so no complaints there. It's been a year and I still feel quite satisfied with my investment.

BEST FOR GAMING....AND AT SUCH A REASONABLE PRICE!!!!

WELL....THOUGH I AM A GAMING FREAK..BUT I WANT A LAPTOP FOR ALL PURPOSES...AND SO I DECIDED TO GO WITH THIS ONE. I WAS BIT WORRIED ABOUT ITS LOOKS AND GRAPHIC QUALITY..(AS I HAVE NOT SEEN IT PHYSICALLY ,,AND I AM FIRST TO BUY IT ON FLIPKART...WRITING THIS REVIEW AFTER APPROX 3MONTHS) ,,,BUT IT TOOK AWAY MY ALL CONCERNS.. LET US TALK ABOUT FEW FEATURES... FUNCTIONING -- ITS FUNCTIONING ITS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN G560 AND G570 ..(.I HAVE USED THEM IN MY FAMILY)..BCOZ OF I3 PROCESSOR...FIRST I WAS THINKING OF GOING TO I5 GENERATION..BUT THAN DONT SPEND YOUR BUCKS ON HIGH PROCESSING FEATURES YOU DOESNT USE MORE THAN 50% CAPACITY.... LOOKS---WELL I WOULD SAY FRANKLY,,DONT EXPECT APPLE,,ALIENWARE..SONY VIAO(SONY ONLY IMPROVES IT LOOKS AND PRICETAGS!!) BUT THAN ITS ALMOST NOT FAR FROM DELL..I HAVE GONE WITH LAPTOP SKIN AND MANNN ITS LOOKS AWESOME!!! GAMING--WELL,WELL ITS GOING TO BE AWESOME AFTER ALL ITS NVIDIA..AND THERE IS INBUILT INTEL GRAPHIC CARD OF 1GB(DEDICATED) BATTERY LIFE-- THOUGH SPEAKING FRANKLY NVIDIA WHEN IN OPERATION..CONSUMES MORE BATTERY..(MAX 1HR.45MIN)..(NATURALLY..)..BUT THAN IF I USE IT FOR OFFICE PURPOSE(4HRS!!!) OR SURFING ON NET (2.5HRS)ITS BATTERY LIFE IMPROVES SIGNIFICANTLY... OTHER FEATURES--- WELL CAMERA IS NOT MY COCERN,,CAMERAS ARE NEVER SO GUD IN LAPYS...SAME IS HERE ..TOUCHPAD IS DOTTED AND SMOOTH..ACCU TYPE KEYPAD WORKS WELL IT INCREASES TYPING SPEED..THOUGH NOT LED DSPLAY LIKE ONE IS OFFERED BY SAMSUNG IN SIMILAR RATE..BUT THAN EVEN IT IS AS GUD AS LED... CONCLUSION-- FOR BUYERS LIKE ME WHO HAVE TO BUY A LAPTOP ONLY ONCE FOR SOME YEARS..ITS THE BEST...LOOK I HAVE TOOK MY TIME SO THAT I CAN GIVE A PROPER REVIEW ...I HAVE CONSIDERED SAMSUNG , DELL ,SONY, HP LAPTOPS WHILE FINALISING IT...SO ITS UPTO YOU..!! I GO FOR 4.5 STARS ...0.5 FOR ITS WEIGHT A BIT MORE THAN DELL AND SAMSUNG OFFERINGS...

More Value for less Money

An awesome laptop for basic requirements and also advanced applications. I have made it a dual boot with Fedora as one OS and Windows as other. The delivery was a bit late as per Flipkart standards. Used for entire day ,played games, watched movies and lot of browsing but no sign of heating. If looking for a cheap solution with lot of demands, Go for it!

Not to buy if Wants to use LINUX.

This laptop is working good for Windows but for linux operating system it doesn't support the WIFI or wired networks.Net connection is a problem for linux.Data cards will work fine. Buy this laptop if you want only windows operating system.

osm device

i bought this laptop last week !! .. it is really worth buying. it has 2slots of usb 3.0.. 2.4ghz i3.. 1gb intel 3000 inbuilt graphics and 1gb of nvidea gt 620m graphics . i played mafia 2 and batman archam city.. the game ran with no lag. :) it doesnt generate any heat and 100percent noiseless coz of its smart fan. 15.6 screen to watch movies nd play games.. the battery backup is really good . 3 to 3.5 hours. very fast and 3d modelling softwares works fine ! but if u wanna stil get an higher lap. go for i5 processor . its a fine laptop for students at this cost . but camera is a bi poor coz of 0.3 mp.!
