Its been six years with Dell Studio 1535 and its been great. As the life gets busy, workload increases, it was time for another laptop for my wife for her projects. Priorities were sturdy build, decent computing power, little lighter, good battery life and price under 30K. Gone through all reviews and specifications from all possible products from different manufacturers through flipkart and official product websites. Some of the points are as follows.

Why not touchscreen? Good question. Mos...

Pros:
Good battery life 4-5 hrs can be extended to about 7 hrs by using Dell extended battery options.
Good graphic card can be used for playing decent quality games
Decent processor and RAM
Quite slim and lightweight and I like the texture and feel of the laptop.
Free antivirus subscription and backpack

Cons:
No backlit keyboard
No driver disc supplied in the box. No ubuntu re-install disc as well
No HDMI port
No dedicated wifi on-off switch

Those who are planning to install Windows 7. Pl...

With all these specifications, it was the cheapest at 28k (after a discount of Rs 4000/-).

Very good and simple laptop with VFM performance. But as nothing is perfect, let's discuss the bad thing first.

Cons:

1) Plastic quality is very basic (seems to me the greatest cost-cutting factor). All matt finishing including the screen gives it a dull and plasticky look. Also, the color is not black but GREY. Only the keyboard part is black. Look at some more images and you can distinguish the bla...

As a Gamer and with a bit of tight budget, I had to go for this laptop.
Now straight to the review :
Looks are pretty decent and built quality is also good.
I've installed Windows 8.1 which is running pretty smooth.
Drivers (Total 1.03 GB) need to be downloaded from Dell Support.
I recommend to download Intel HD 4400 & NVidia 820M Graphics driver to be downloaded from intel Download Center and NVidia Downloads website not Dell.

I ordered this laptop from www.flipkart.com .It is best laptop. Flipkart is giving this laptop in Rs 33000.It has 4 gen i3 4005u. It has latest graphics care i.e. 820m. This laptop remains cool.
Its battery life is also good.
CONS
1. No HDMI port.
2. Old version of Ubuntu.
3. 14 Inch screen.
4. Touchpad not working in windows 8.

Review after one week of usage.

Firstly the service of flipkart was awesome as ever. Got the delivery in only 2 days. Packaging was nicely done. Package contained laptop box and a dell bag. Bag is nice and quiet stylish.

Jumping straight to the laptop.

>You simply can't get a better laptop at this price point. Trust me it is a steal.

>Looks quiet good. Top has a textured finish and does not attract fingerprint. Though the cover got a little dirty at the edges due to handling.

>Anti-glar...

I bought this Vostro V3446 from flipkart at the best deal i could have found.
I have used it for three weeks now and completely aware of every aspect about this product.An amazingly unbelievable package at an unbelievable price i must say.You just cannot get a 2GB NVIDIA 820 and core i3 4th gen both under 35k,but here you get it at mere 28k( the 10% cashback=25k).And the battery backup it simply awesome courtesy i3 4th gen which has lower power consumption,so it never heats up.The average ...

Purchased this System from FK.
Very good product for those who want good value for money.
1. Excellent battery backup.
2. Excellent sound output over headphone, thanks to DELL for designing such a good sound card.
3. Heat build up in system is very less.
4. Easy to carry, light weight.
-----------
5. touch pad driver not working for Win7. contacted DELL but no positive result.

Cheap, hardy laptop reminiscent of the Thinkpad, only with gaming RAM. I have handled it terribly, bordering on abuse, but till yet the device has borne it all stoically. The latest patch of Witcher 3 runs at 15-20 Fps which seems pretty epic at a 28k pricing if you ask me.
OK, so the speakers are absolutely no good (they might as well not have put them in the first place) and you might want to replace the sticky keyboard, but all in all it's a good investment of you are just looking for a se...

pros:
1 best build quality
2 gr8 sound
3 2 gb internal graphics card which is gr8 for playing high end games
cons
battery doesn't long last in os like win 7 or higher os but its good if u use ubuntu which is in built.

go for it if u r looking for laptop within 30k. DELL is something you can rely on.. its after sales service is best among any other laptop..
