Never ever buy HCL laptops. These are the worst laptops. I bought one in Sep 2008 and the DVD drive was not working in the new laptop. Then I had it replaced (Under warranty). Then the LCD display had a problem which was replaced as the machine was under warranty. Now after the warranty expired the display stopped working again.
At the service center they charge Rs 1500 for diagnosis alone which is very costly (Parts replacement costs extra).
I would suggest not to buy an HCL laptop. Instead put in some more money and go for a good one like Dell or HP.
