Hi Folks. Just received this piece of beauty from Flipkart yesterday(13/4/13) I couldnt believe Flipkart delivered it so fast since i placed the order on 11/4/13!! I had spent quite some time on the internet before i chose to buy this laptop. A few pointers for online buyers :- This piece isnt available in malls, you gotta order it online. Dont buy it from oem directly, they give you a quote, which makes you wanna settle for something much much cheaper. Flipkart is the right place to buy this product. This did not come bundled with any driver dvd. So now I have to download my own drivers. I wish flipkart could have bundled the driver dvd and the Ubuntu dvd. It sure wouldnt have increased their cost. Pros about this product :- * It looks super cool * Doesnt get heated up too much like most laptops (not for now atleast) * Smooth Customization of Ubuntu. It detected the wireless network immediately. * I have never used linux before, but this version is simply sweet * The Camera and the voice are perfect. (Still need to run a few songs and movies to crosscheck) * Super comfy keyboard and mouse touchpad Cons :- * No driver Cd/Dvd. * No ubuntu Cd/Dvd * Comes with Dell Recommended Bagpack * Dell Utility on Ubuntu is COMPLEX. Dont know how to operate that thingy or what its for!!

Pros: 1. Unbeatable price for this configuration 2. Excellent look & feel, build quality. Loved the scratch-resistant surface 3. One free RAM slot for expansion 4. Heat generated is very low, no need for a cooler 5. HDMI output 6. Non-glossy screen and chasis Cons: 1. No separate external keys for volume and brightness control (Fn keys provided though) 2. Laptop was loaded with outdated and unsupported Ubuntu 11.10. Must upgrade to at least 12.04 LTS. Also factory-shipped Ubuntu had mount problems during booting. Less one star for this. 3. Requires to open the entire back cover for HDD upgrade. For RAM upgrade, keyboard needs to be removed. Most modern day laptops provide easy access to HDD/RAM. 4. WLAN is giving me 52 mbps only. Not able to fix the issue so far. 5. Performance is slow as it is a low power machine. RAM upgrade to 4GB recommended for 64-bit OS (Windows 7 Experience Index is 4.5) 6. Battery provides 2.5 hrs backup. 7. No OEM driver CD provided. Had to download 800 mb driver packages from Dell Support. 8. In Windows 7, one USB device is showing 'unrecognized device' even after all drivers are installed. Could not fix this. I have formatted the hard disk and made it dual boot with Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit. In my experience, Ubuntu 32-bit is performing better than Win 7 64-bit.

Its the best one can get for 21000! I have installed Windows 7 Professional on it and it works like a charm. I am using it for .Net programming, stock market analysis software, charting, and MS Office tasks. And I have just one word to say - PERFECT! I own a Sony Vaio EA series laptop that I bought 2 years back for 36,000, and it has Core i3 with 3GB RAM and let me tell you one thing - VAIO SUCKS!! This Dell laptop, even though has somewhat of a lower configuration, beats my Vaio hands down! DELL just smoked VAIO!! I am more than happy with my purchase from Flipkart. Got A1 service from them.

a good basic laptop for a user who would not be using it to greater extends. basic browsing , movies and music and some documentation work would run perfectly . Dont expect too much out of it on performance and speed. its a basic model and for 23k its really good and serves the purpose.

Working awsome, just using for browsing and normal work. looks good in grey color and works amazingly fast than my expectation!!

I PURCHASED THIS LAPTOP BEFORE 1 MONTH .DELL VOSTRO 2520 IS HAVING GOOD FEATURES .GOOD BATTERY BACKUP APX. 2HRS TO 2.30 HRS. SOUND IS OK. LOOKS IS GOOD.HAVING DISK DRIVE AND GOOD QTY OF USB PORT . OVERALL A GOOD PAISA VASOOL LAPTOP.I RECOMMEND TO BUY FROM FLIPKART

The product is great. There are two things with which I am not happy at all!! 1. Flipkart doesn't provide separate tabs for billing and shipping addresses. Since everytime billing address and shipping address can't be the same, this creates problems accounting wise. To my surprise, even the customer care cannot provide a separate invoice with a different billing address for the same product. 2. The moment i received this product, it worked fine for initial 7 days. After that getting continuously Blue Screen Error. I gotta contact the support team, just that short of time! All in all, was excited earlier, now everything is just OK!!

It is a good product at give price range, I have got this product at fair price with 10% offer from flipkart itself. I have installed windows 7 in it and it works quite fine. Sound and picture quality of this product is also good and a fair amount of battery backup of approx 3- 4 hours after full charge. And also I have very happy with flipkart service and it's packaging and delivery of product on time. I will recommended to buy this product as I am using it form last 15 days without having any issue.

I have always liked DELL laptops for its quality (last purchase was about 5 years back) and wanted to have a new low cost laptop with Ubuntu preloaded. Though the Ubuntu version in this model is old, it serves my need well. (Probably because of this point I got the laptop with a good discount - more than adequate to offset the time required to load the new version of Ubuntu or Windows if needed). There are so many good features to talk about. But to avoid repetition, I would rather go with all the other good reviews on this product.
