The specs are among the best in this price range and the laptop has excellent build quality, similar to a Dell laptop priced upwards of Rs 40k. Ubuntu OS is quite fast. With its 14" screen, and light-weight. it is quite handy to carry around.

P.S.: Updating the Ubuntu version caused graphic driver problems on my laptop.

There is only a "single" memory slot !

you need to buy a single 8GB DDR3L in order to upgrade.

note:
the cover underneath is held by a single screw. you need to push and slide out the flimsy plastic cover which flexes a bit.

the page Up and page Down keys are too small, while the keyboard is well laid out from a developer point of view. The Enter key is just the right size.

i just bought this laptop, installed Gentoo Linux and started off with Docker builds and Go lang compiles. The AMD ...

The Dell Vostro 3445 was a urgent buy for me, combined by the facts that I needed an development environment ready in one week, my old laptop (Acer 5740G, god bless its soul) was missing a few keyboard keys, HDD had a bad sector and it was heating up like hell while running Win7. Thinkpad was my initial target, but saw that they were way beyond my budget. Decided on this as I am from AMD camp, and prefer Linux better than Windows. This Dell 14" range is densely populated, with Win8/Ubuntu, In...

I'll vote 5, because of the following points:
1. Graphics: 8.1/10
2. Performance: 8.6/10
3. Design: 9/10
4. Features: 8/10
5. Usability: 8.4/10

*Note: This one has 2.5 GB of dedicated graphics. Total shows about 4 GB graphics including shared memory and all. Weird huh?
Yes, Dedicated 2 GB graphics from Graphics Card + 512 MB from APU i.e CPU + GPU = APU.
Blindly buy this one, its best laptop I've used ever.
I am able to play Assassins Creed Unity in this Laptop, without a glitch. :) :)

This is an ultimate machine at this price.
1. v.v.v good battery life even though its 4 cell. This laptop manages power consumption excellently. 2 movies to be seen baack to back on 100% charge. and stand by battery lasts upto more than 10Hrs.
2 Screen is Just good. Not mind blowing but good enough. cant consider it as a minus point.
3 Speakers are bit low in sound. just need to extend to the external portable speakers.
4 AMD doesnot heats up. so not to worry.
5 AMD provides good process man...

Positive: The body is sturdy. Form is thin on any edge and easy to hold in the hand if you have to hold in closed position. Temperature is relatively low on maximum processor speed. No noise of the fan so far. Dell Pro Support on phone was much better than chat option. Overall performance is good. CAD and graphics apps ran smoothly. Webcam is clear and suited for business conferencing with 16:9 ratio.

Improvement: The RAM speed support could have been better. Its kept at 1600MHz. APUs shoul...

Just received today and installed Wwindows10. Working fine till now. Cannot adjust brightness that seems to be an issue with the OS.
Not at all cheap plastic. Webcam and Speakers are good.
Its good it has a VGA port.
Only isue seems to be with the touchpad.
No touch buttons tere and the ensistyvity is also not upto the mark. Will install windowss 7 and the appropriate drivers then check and update this review.

The product quality is satisfactory for the amount you are going to pay.
No heating problem nor any other issues that gonna make you feel you are in loss.
The major concern for me was the Flipkart team's response for the warranty claim.
They kept me hanging for 16 days without giving proper solution for my warranty claim from Dell for 1 Year.That made me feel really bad.

Flipkart team - 2 star
