I am an engineer student and purchased one for my friend. Laptop is so cool and has very trendy and eye catchy look
Processor works really great. Don't look at the clock speed. It is the latest technology from intel which is called ULV processor( Ultra low voltage processor ) . They are more power efficient and good at productivity. (all ultrabooks and macbook air has it, Also check the clock speed of them, even i7 has 1.8 GHz )
I mean think about it why intel bring the clock speed of p4 in ...

Pros: Good battery life
Good processing power
Quick delivery from flipkart

CONS: No support for Linux from Dell support. WIFI stops working after you apply the online updates from Ubuntu for the first time. After calling Dell, the Dell representative replied saying that they don't have expertise on Linux and you can install pirated Windows OS which they can support. Bad customer support experience from Dell.

However, I was able to fix the issue after some googling on Ubun...

Hi Bought this laptop one month back and its working great, the only issue being the display driver not available on Dell website for 32 bit win 7 OS and very difficult to get WI FI drivers for WIN 7 32 bit... So i had to re install 64 bit OS.I saved some money on this purchase by purchasing it on http://www.mintadeal.com , these ppl are offering flipkart vouchers worth 2 % of your purchase ( got 600 rs voucher), you can use that site for further purchases on flipkart as it better than those ...

3) for night wanderers without backlit keypad it is a nightmare

I bought this laptop during the Flipkart diwali sale. I wanted a laptop to run Linux, and I didn't want to fight with UEFI BIOS with most windows 8 Laptops these days. Have been a happy user so far. Comes with a default ubuntu 12.04 (I think) Has some sort of Dell recovery disk also if you want to restore to that. Also all drivers work out of the box for Linux (I dual boot debian & arch) which is great

Pros
- Pretty good battery life, almost an year now, still get about 4+ hrs during normal...

Good battery life. Good performance. I am satisfied . Good value for money. Quite a fast processor and restarts in less than a min.

One of the better laptops to purchase for the given price range and specifications.
PROs:
1) The i3 3rd Gen(1.8Ghz) processor is snappy,don't undermine the clockspeed.Works really well with Windows 8.1, especially the boot time.
2) 4GB DDR3 RAM is more than enough for homely activities , plus expandabilty upto 8gb makes it easy to scale for your office purposes as well.
3) 15.6 inches screen is HD and meets most of the needs, though full HD resolution ie.1080p would have been great for watch...

Dell is not my favorite company to buy laptops from but, since it was cheapest and screen quality is better than other laptops, I bought it for my uncle and the keyboard died in first week, Did I say i don't like dell laptops, flipkart replaced it and the replacement one is working fine, so i keep my finger crossed next time i am buying ASUS..

It works fine with respect to performance except that Dell doesnt support Linux issues - which is surprising considering they are selling it with Ubuntu.
As Raj has said, there were initial hickups with Wifi, but once that got fixed thanks to the Ubuntu forums, it is all going smooth.
I didnt like the keyboard layout in the beginning, but it was just a matter of getting used to.
I especially like the scratch-proof case.
