I bought it for my grandfather, for mostly accounting work using Tally ERP. Since i did all the installation of OS and all, i did get a chance to test the system. The system performs well, is fast enough for a normal user/ms office and other tasks. BR movies play smoothly in VLC. For all the programmers out there, this is a boon. A 15.6" under 19000 (i bought it in 18450). I installed Visual Studio 2012 and along with that, SQL Management Studio, and run them simultaneously. Since these two softwares are huge as far as memory and processing is concerned, the system showed a decent performance. In short, i did not have to wait while building the projects in VS2010. If in case you need more multitasking, you can add another DDR3 RAM in the empty slot, and it would be a cheap yet powerful upgrade. This comes with DOS, so you save about 5 grands for the OS. I installed Win 7 Ultimate........without spending that 5 grand......you know what i mean. ;) If you don't do much gaming and extensive image or video editing, go for this one. It also comes with dedicated ATI graphics of approx 348 MB. So thats cool.
Pros: Great build quality for the price. Doesn't look cheap by any standards. The trackpad and the keyboard are quite sturdy. Overall great feel Cons: Within the first 30 minutes of using the machine I realized how horrible its performance was. It feels like you are using a 5 year old system. Installing windows took me over 2 hours! As soon as I start opening a couple of applications, it starts freezing. Overall: Don't cheap out. Spend a couple of more thousand bucks and get a i3 or i5 system. Its much more than worth it.
I use this laptop primarily for coding, surfing and watching movies. I may not be an average user, but here is my take on the laptop. Pros: 1. Ubuntu 12.04 works out of the box :P. The wireless and graphic drives work without any extra effort. 2. 15.6in Anti reflective screen. 3. Around 4 hrs of battery life for basic net surfing in wifi + coding. Cons: 1. Memory can be bottleneck if you are in the habit of opening many tabs in the browser simultaneously. You get only 1.5G of your RAM for the applications. The rest (384MB) is taken by the graphic card I guess. 2. High definition videos (1080p videos) can be a bit sluggish. For example: 1080p videos in youtube will have some choppiness. But hey, it's not a super expensive laptop. Overall I am satisfied with the laptop. Good performance for an entry level laptop.
Really superb performance..good battery backup...4 usb slots...good camera quality...2 in 1 ear phone socket....I installed windows 7 and ran crackgen to make it fully activated...my laptop is at its best in this budget....my purpose is to watch movies and browse and games...i think 90 % people will not use a laptop for more than these...
Its an awesome under 20000/-. I have purchased this laptop 4 months ago from a dealer (Not from Flipkart) at 19200/-. The processor is really fast & the screen resolution is unmatched. People who has budget less then 20000/- , just go for it. There is no complaint at all according to my experience. Only one cons is - The driver for this laptop is only supported in Windows 7 OS. Why to pay more bucks when you get everything under 20000/-
research. compare. buy.
