I bought this Laptop in the late 2012 sometime around september-october. Was a quite hyped and aggressive device back then. And one of the very few Multimedia Laptops with Dual gpu systems.
I actually wanted to buy a Macbook pro, but when I saw this laptop’s specifications and reviews, I instantly went for it.
With a 2gb Nvidia Graphics Card and a i-7 engine this device was a beast. It also features Jbl speakers with’subwoofers’.
But what I failed to consider was the heating issue and battery life. This device has major heating issues. In the first year of use, games could be played without a hitch for 1 hour continuously. But after a while, the games started lagging after 15-20 mins of playing it. I updated the graphics drivers, updated windows versions and even cleaned the laptop fan for dust. But it didn’t help much. I ended up buying a coolermaster laptop cooler, which increased the playable duration to half hour at most. Nowadays, I can’t even think of doing high graphics-multimedia usage in this device.
The battery life is just saddening. 2 hours at max. I had to change my battery after 2 yrs of usage.
This laptop is quite heavy, quite a backbreaking weight if you use it for daily office work.
In my opinion when they charged Rs.65000 for this device, they could have at least worked on the major heating fallacy. Its built rugged and sturdy though.
