This is a very good budget laptop. I have used a Dell Vostro before and also laptops from like Lenovo Thinkpad , HP and Acer. I had purchased a HP last year but compared to it this Dell machine has much better build quality. The only issue I have is the screen colours are not very accurate or vibrant but that can be forgiven considering that this is not a top of the line series from Dell. All in all it offers a good bang for the buck. I was also considering an Acer Nitro 5 having similar specs (8GB RAM, 2 GB dedicated graphics, FHD display, Core i5) but that machine costs about 10k more. Yes it does have a high end graphics card and some flashy gaming laptop aesthetics. But having used a Vostro before for almost 5 years without any technical issues Dell seemed to be a safe bet.

The laptop is fairly slim though it has a optical drive. It has a textured panel on the top which is good and the matt black color gives it a simple look. It takes less than a minute to boot the laptop. I disabled few startup apps and Services from task manager which improved the booting time. Though it has a 8th generation core i5 CPU the performance is slow at times. Apps don't respond on a single/ double click and take time to load. This might be due to the presence of HDD and absence of SSD. However, in this price range there is no laptop with Intel i5 processor which offers SSD with large storage(Except for Asus). Sound front the inbuilt speaker is loud enough if you are listening in a quiet place. With background noise even with high volume the sound is inaudible. The quality is crisp and clear though. Keyboard is NOT backlit and is a bit cramped to my liking. The arrow keys are small and need sometime to get adjusted to. Battery life is around 5 to 6 hours with moderate usage like browsing, working on documents etc. When playing games the battery takes a toll as the Radeon graphics card comes into play drawing more power to deliver good gaming experience. Games like Asphalt 9, Asphalt Xtreme play smoothly without any lag. I have not tried PUBG but it should run fine with medium graphics setting. If you want a laptop with fast response opt for a one with SSD. If you are budget is around 45 to 50K this laptop is decent. One of the main reasons for buying this laptop was pre-installed MS OFFICE and good price in exchange for my old Dell Vostro 3550. I hope my review helps buyers to choose a laptop as per their needs.

Very low colour saturation, specially the white, in default settings. Booting is taking way long, than my 7th gen Acer. Very disappointed.

I am not happy with this laptop. Battery backup not for 6 hr. As given. It used hardly for 2 hr. antivirus is not provided for 15 months. They make the one drive for store the data.. I am not happy with this laptop

After going through lots of reviews on this product, ichanged my mind from buying Lenovo IP330 to Dell Vostro since Dell is more estb brand . but that was a big mistake. The product have nothing to do with the estb brand Dell . The laptop is too slow even with i5 8th gen .But nobody ever mentioned it in any reviews . I mean slow in the sense , takes time to boot up and also to open an application. but once u have opened and closed the app and the next time you open, it opens within no time . but thats not a good feature of a entry level laptop. once it's opened and loaded in the memory ,it's smooth. screen display is very bad . Watching movies is not that great , booring I tried basic games like nfs mw . but after a while playing in full resolution it got shut down . AND THATS A BIG CON . battery is not upto the mark since you have a lot of other good laptop that offer good battery backup . DONT BUY THIS LAPTOP UNDER THE BRANDS NAME Dell. I think Lenovo IdeaPad is a better option . I HAD many problems with this laptop. theres is no good feature to tell about this laptop.

the laptop looks stunning and I love it it has fingerprint sensor that unlock nicely ....it has a huge mouse pad that supports multi gesture support I got a CD free that can be installed all apps that already installed in laptop in case it had been uninstalled I love it's design and it has anti glare screen that not define in specs of it. ......love to use it It take 3 hours am writing this further I wrote more about it so thanks Flipkart

Even after replacement approved and received from Seller, no change in any earlier reported issues like Heating and Battery Backup timing. Flipkart customer care executive also made me fool over battery backup timing by saying that it's a 2 cells battery and can't provide more than 2 hours of battery backup but infact it's a 4 cells battery which should provide atleast 4 hours of standard battery backup. Being a industrial grade product it's a shame to both Flipkart and Dell as well for providing a very bad quality product from their International brand. Finally I won't recommend to anyone to even give it a try for once in a lifetime. Dell Vostro is actually Dell Worst-row.

Perfect for engineering student but not good for gaming.

laptop stopped working with 10 day

Performance is good ,but not level of i5 and 8gb ram,but packing very very worst And one year of use is very good as well as performance
