I have used this laptop for a couple of weeks for now. Here is the review - Initially i am unable to install graphic drivers from HP site or NViDIA site. THen someone in the reviews mentioned a way to crack this. Solution for Graphic drivers problem :- Intel HD 4400 Graphic card so I download "Intel HD 4400 Driver" from Intel website(search in google) and then I installed a NVIDIA Driver(You can't directly install NVIDIA Driver, First you need to install a driver for integrated graphic card then you can install driver for discreet(dedicated) graphic card) Pros :- 1.Within budget 2, Good config 3. Dedicated graphic card 4. Stylish design Cons :- 1. Drivers frustrate you unless you follow reviews/googling problems 2. Weak key board. The keys are very delicate. I suggest to buy an external keyboard. 3. Charging pin is delicate. Often results in laptop not getting charged even though connected to a charger. Overall it is a decent buy and I recommend if laptop is for regular use without too much of gaming requirements.

Hands down the best laptop in this price range. Doesn't come with an OS but the smart ones around here may already know a way around that. :) Just install the OS of your choice, connect to the internet via a LAN cable (your Wifi wont work until you download and install the necessary drivers) and run windows update. That should get you most if not all the drivers you need. The only drivers you may need to download separately are the Nvidia Graphic card ones but those can be easily found on the Nvidia website. All-in-all, a great product and at this price, its a steal!

This laptop is an amazing product with i3 intel and 2gb nvidia 820m graphics.The body is sturdy and is not a finger print magnet which is a great relief.Coming to others aspects,you can expect this laptop to boot-up on 15-20 secs max.The 4gb RAM takes care of that.Average usage and casual surfing can last a shade over 2hrs. For high graphic games its better plug it in. Now coming to the OS.Being a free dos you can install any OS you desire. For Drivers you can go their website or download DRIVERIDENTIFIER OR DRIVERSOLUTION after installing the OS (obviously). I recommend Windows 7 Ultimate Version because its better and this is not a touchscreen laptop. Pro's: 1.Best in its price range. 2.Decent build and smudge free. 3.Great Display 4.Ample storage 5.Medium Weight Cons: 1.Battery Life 2.Audio is mediocre So far not many CONS to find. Hope this helps you.(Future Buyers)

This is the trible and one of the best laptop in class with the price tag. Awesome durability and sturdy. Hp & compaq is good brand and also satisfy our utility in the software and hardware with reliable one. I used 3.5 years continues still no problem came. 100% worth. Thanks for flipkart for giving a quality product.

under 500$ its a ammezing product :) 4th-gen-ci3-4gb-500gb-free-dos-2gb-graph its a good configuration . But power backup is not good enough but over all its good.one more prob is 1.70GHz processor its not enough :(

"Beast" in terms of performance - runs like an angry "bull" - very satisfied Pros: * All the features are good. * Display is great. * Speaker is great. * Performance is great so far - but not tested heavy games. * But you can download the NVIDIA GEFORCE drivers for best graphics performance performance I called it beast and bull because of its 4 GB DDR3 ram and extra 2 GB ram on graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 820M) - you will literally drool over such a laptop I'll try to find some time to list more "details". Cons: 1. (MAJOR) getting compatible HP/Compaq drivers - had a tough time to get drivers for 64bit - still searching for Bluetooth drivers - BUT once the drivers were installed the laptop roared into life - like a dragon who just woke up 2. No backlit light (led) inside the keys on the keyboard - so you cannot work in the dark. 3. Need to install the OS (windows) - comes with a free DOS which can puzzle an inexperienced user to get started 4. Battery backup duration is OK and recharge time is little longer - its just a normal 4 cell battery 5. Little heavy 6. No free slot to add extra ram - the laptop can be upgraded to 8 GB ram - but you have to replace the existing 2 2 GB ram modules with 2 4 GB ram modules - no scope of adding So far this is all i can list for cons. BUT IN SPITE OF IT I MUST SAY I AM VERY VERY SATISFIED WITH IT. CONS 1, 2, 3. COULD BE DISCOURAGING FACTOR - SINCE I AM AN IT PROFESSIONAL I COULD TACKLE THEM. BUT FOR THE OTHER 3 CONS 4, 5, 6 - IT WOULD HARDLY MATTER TO MOST USERS. ***I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO OTHERS.***

I am using this product for last 3 months and its very smooth and working very fine. Quality, feature and looks and weight of the product is perfect and another things is that its supports services are also good. I am very happy to purchase this product from flipkart..
