Laptop based on new Carrizo line which consumes much less battery. See the proccessor AMD A8 7410 version along M330 graphics rather M230 graphics. Go for it you are a gamer on a budget and value battery life. Not much inprovement on non graphic intensive tasks. Comparable to 5th gen i3 but much much better graphics
Pros:
Good Graphics processor at such low price. Able to run Shadows of Mordor at medium gfx level and most call of duty games at high settings. Call of duty Ghosts and Advanced warfare will stutter very badly though:(
The laptop is very quiet for normal tasking
Heat levels are quite ok. However, gaming heats the laptop quite a bit
4 GB RAM ensures that the machine is quick and responsive for everyday usage
Good processor. Had a Gen 2 i3 machine earlier. This seems to be a lot better
The lid is not matte finish but a silver coloured crosscut pattern. Prevents the lid from becoming a fingerprint magnet and reduces need for cleaning
Slim and sleek body. Light and easy to handle. looks good
Build quality is also good
Decent sound quality
Cons:
- Touchpad buttons are hard on the fingers. They need a bit of effort to press and are not very comfortable. Recommend buying a mouse
2.Only 1 USB port works out of the box. For me it was the second one on the right. These will work only after the OS is installed
- The direction keys are extremely small. Gamers used to a keyboard with normal sized keys may find it a little hard at first to use this one
SUGGATION; Overall verdict - few niggling issues but a very good config for the price. However, would recommend this one only for tech savvy users or for people willing to pay for someone to install the OS and essential software
