Dont Buy from Flipkart

No Doubt the laptop is a beast. nThese specifications you can guarantee that it will be lasting for alteast for 3-4 years if you are a gamer. nnThis laptop you can get into the lenovo showroom for Rs. 76,990 with following things included nn1. laptop bagn2. Cooling padn3. Mouse n4. cleaning kitn5. 3 years of warranty ( yeah you read it right 3 YEARS) nnI have confirmed the same here in the showroom at chennai.nnI would strongly recommend if you are planning to buy this beast dont get it from FLIPKART, go to the showroom and get it :) nhope it helps many of them

BET U WITH THIS LAPTOP!

This is a mind-BLASTING piece of tech!nnOn today's date, show me a laptop wit same performance (or better) within a price range of INR 74k (thts the price I bought the 4gb graphics version with from E-Mall, Chandni Chowk, Kolkata), I will 'buy u' any laptop of your choice!nnTried NFS Rivals and Watchdogs in ultra graphics at 1080p resolution, the output was 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!' (Yes, its a term)nnPros:n1. GTX 860 4GB (its the new 'Maxwell' architecture graphics processor, I have checked it myself)n2. Red backlit keypad with 2 dim levelsn3. No inbuilt optical drive (it saves a lot of space and makes the laptop slimmer than y510. Dont worry, a USB optical drive is included in the package)n4. JBL speaker does make a difference. U can feel the mild thump of the small sub-woofer present belown5. The level of brightness of the screen backlight is remarkable. At level 0, u can look at the screen very comfortably even in a pitch dark room. And at level 100, u can easily use it in open sunlightn6. The laptop comes with a 8GB RAM, which is installed in one single slot (generally, in other laptops its 2 x 4GB). Thus, you get the other slot empty by default in case you want to expand your RAM.n7. The laptop has got a S/PDIF sound jack. It is a digital format sound output (unlike HDMI, which carries both sound and video). Hook it up with your Audio/Video system and you can bypass your laptops cheap sound-card and use the A/V system's heavy-duty decoder to convert the raw digital output to a much better analogue output. Google.nnCons:n1. Displayn2. Displayn3. DisplaynnBeing a designer, I hate the display of this laptop. All digital stuff including 2D/3D renders reflect weird tint. The white balance is not at all calibrated. In short, the whites aren't actually white. Even in comparison with my 6 year old Sony Vaio, this laptops display failed like big time. Firstly, the screen is highly desaturated. Even if you increase the saturation with the inbuilt Nvidia software, the colour reproduction is so poor, that even ur android phone will beat it. No software can make the display better because the hardware of the monitor is not made to perform better. Its a poor quality TN display. For starters, TN is the cheapest quality of LCD available in the market. Again... just Google it. Some casual users (especially people who find the pre-installed bloat-ware interesting) might not find the display problematic, because this is more of a 'trophy laptop' to them.nnThe last star of my rating is eaten up by the poor display of the laptop. I just wish, one morning I wake up and find my laptop screen transformed to a UHD screen. *sigh...*nnREPLY TO MR. PRITAM DAS:nEven the 4GB Graphics version comes in full HD (1920x1080)

Absolutely waste of Money

So, here I am. My laptop went bust after 10 days. After 4 visits at the service center, which was also outsourced, I got it repaired. The motherboard was fried. Ah, yes, the charger also needed replacement too. I am aware how hard it is to send a laptop charger in 3 days from one metro city to another metro city in India. The guy insisted to deliver it to my office and made me wait 5 hours but the biggest surprise was yet to come. Someone sent me a wrong charger.Two times, I called to you customer care and both the time pathetic responses. The first guy, I spoke to was really arrogant to refuse to give me required information and instead argued for nearly a half hour. To place a request for the correct charger again, it is going to take 24 hours because that is company policy. I mean, marvelous example of being at fault and yet having the upper hand.

Best buy ever! D

I came to know about this laptop through a friend when i was looking to buy a gaming laptop.I had know idea a laptop at this price can deliver so much.nPros:n1)The looks:The first thing u will notice is d looks.looks elegant and beautiful hiding all that ridiculously awesome hardware.It's sleek,the bright red backlit keyboard is fantastic.the feel is very good as well.n2)The specs: At this price,the specs are mind blowing.A 4th gen i7 processor equipped along side a 4gb nvidia gtx 860m based on the maxwell architecture,its a bargain to say the least.I played watch dogs on ultra settings without any lag.i repeat NO lag whatsoever.n3)The keyboard:The best i have used in my life.The keys are soft ,have a very good response and the touchpad doesn't get in the way.the back light helps in typing in d dark.n4)Cooling:For a gaming laptop , this thing handles heat very well.The heat vents are are on the backside like many ASUS laptops and hence u have very cool sides.n5)The Speakers:I saved the best for last.This laptop is equipped with JBL speakers.and they are the best speakers I have ever heard. I happily removed the external speakers I was using before.The dolby software is fantastic with pre sets available for music,movies ,games and VOIP such as skype. You will not need any external speakers whatsoever.Your friends and family will be bowled over by these monsters.nCons:nAs good as this laptop is,it has few shortcomings.It was expected.n1)The top and bottom surface are fingerprint magnets.Trust me when i say magnets.THEY ARE SUPER MAGNETS!!!!nu will need to keep wiping the surface or u will end up with a day old laptop looking 10 years old.n2)The performance of the graphics card dips after long hours of use...usually after 5-6 hours(If u play that long).n3)The display:It's not a very big problem.But the initial settings are very bad. Calibrate and u will have a very good display.So don't feel bad when u turn it on for the first time.nThe monitor has refresh rate of 60 Hz so don't fret.nnIn short,this laptop is d best thing u can buy if ur a regular and above regular gamer.Its cool,does whatever it's supposed to and will not disappoint.Have been using it for over a month and it's as smooth as butter.The pre installed software lenovo provides are OK..but not very useful.Keep it,don't keep it...upto u! Yes,der are better laptops than this in d market but at this price...NO!nThis will b the best buy u ever make! :D

Great gaming at great price

This laptop is a beast. i7HQ, 8GB RAM and best of all a GeForce Gtx 860M with 4GB GDDR5 RAM! The build quality is very good and even comes with an external optical drive. The backlit keyboard is also very striking in red.nnI have played Watchdogs, AC, FarCry4 etc at Ultra and FPS is above 45 consistently. Hands down the best config you can buy at 75K!!nnCons-nnScreen is not great, but okay with calibration (google will help)nThe 8GB SSD is used only as cache so boot time is not blazing (~45 sec - 1 min). Disappointing as would have gladly paid for a dedicated boot SSD.nnOverall - Dont think too much, if you have the budget just buy it and you are future proof for most upcoming games next year. nnAlso Lenovo is giving 3 years warranty absolutely FREE with this model. Need to register on brand site.
