Great Laptop at this price
By Mayank Narangon
At Rs 30000, this is a great laptop,
I was looking at a Dos i3 Laptop, for everyday office and Home use, Found this to be the best pick.
I compared the price with offline vendors like Vijay Sales and Croma, they are charging Rs 1500-2000 more
Pros
1.This is a brand new model launched just 15 days ago by HP
2.It has a Huge 1 TB storage, which will ensure that I will not need to carry an external Hard drive for my collection of movies and TV Show
3.It uses the latest 1600 MHz Ram in 2x2 configuration, most laptops in this price range use 1333 MHz Ram, some of the older models being sold on flipkart may even be using 1067 MHz Ram, which is horrible.
4. All Drivers are available on HP website
5. Power efficient i3 Processor, I get 6-7 Hrs backup while browsing and using MS Office.
6.Sound from in built speaker, while not too loud, is clear and good enough for movie binge in a mid size room
A Decent laptop
By Satishkumar KPon
I bought this laptop for my father who mainly uses computer for typing and watching some DVD. As per my experience with the laptop for the last 3 days I would say it is a good machine wit good specifications with average looks.
Pros:
1. Fast- Have not experienced any lag as of now. Boots and shut downs within seconds.
2. Light weight when compared to other 15.6 laptops
3. Looks slim
4. Pretty decent touch pad- Not ultra responsive but does the job
5. Sound quality and loudness is pretty good
6. Battery backup is good- gives 4-5 hours with normal usage
7. Good keypad
8. Strong hinges
9. Overall a strong and sturdy laptop
Cons:
1. Mat finish gives it a dull and boring look
2. Pathetic Webcam- Not sure why they call it HD cam
Have not tried any gaming so cannot comment on that aspect.
I would certainly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a budget Core i3 laptop, who is not very keen in showing of their machine.

Must buy - value for money
By Yogeshwar Raoon
- Excellent entry level laptop.
- Quite cheap for the config - i3 Haswell, 1 TB HDD, 4 GB RAM.
- Works perfectly well with Win 8.1 and Ubuntu - BT, WiFi, Fn keys, Touchpad.
- Build quality is quite good - hinges are strong and doesn't wobbles.
- Slim and lightweight - still packs a DVD writer.
- Display is ok. Nothing remarkable. No issues though in working with it.
- Excellent battery life - easily gets you 4 hours.
- Good connectivity ports - LAN, USB 2/3, HDMI. No VGA port.
- Got a nice HP backpack free.
I got it for web development purpose and it is serving me well. Dual booting into Win 8.1 and Ubuntu. I was confused between this model and Lenovo G50-80. But HP's build quality is much better. Good decision in the end.
Go for it!

HP driver support for this laptop
By Shiva Galion
To all those who buy this, This won't come smooth shiny black. It will be black but completely engraved in dots. All other things are okay with this. As for the software is concerned, you wont be provided with Software CD from the company. So if you want to install Windows 8.1 or below versions of windows, i will give the mention of files that you have to download. Don't install HP support assistance, as it wont assist you in any way. Intel HD graphic driver - SP71257intel rapid store tech driver - SP72654Realteck Audio drivers HD - SP71379realteck wireless lan drivers - SP72932Download them specifically if you are not installing windows 10. Don't follow software from website for these categories. remaining all you can download from HP website[...]
Good laptop...
By Adarsh Dason
Baught this one for my mom who is a teacher who just needs to watch some movie and for doing some presentation etc. Exelent finishing. Installed w8.1 and working smoothly. The disappointing thing is that they didn't provide any laptop bag and driver CD with it. Took a huge time to find drivers online. And installed fifa14 and working excellently. Really a nice entry level i3 product.

Disappointed with the purchase
By Vijinon
Disappointed with the purchase !! Never buy this..wifi connectivity not working..Laptop is never close to its picture posted in the site in terms of looks. Just look like a plastic pad. When I got the product, the front panel had fingerprints on it ! Disappointed :(
