The CPU is ULV, i3 I think, so if its i3 ULV its cr@p. worse than AMD A8, stuck at 1.8GHz, and if its i5 ULV, then it will perform as much as i3 normal.

To check if its ULV, see the CPU model no. if its i3/i5xxxxU its ULV, if its i3/i5xxxxM its normal and then its good.

46k? Ripped off man, sorry but i3 cpu @ 46k is ripoff, and battery life is not that big an issue as i3 and i5ULV consumes similar power.

PS: Install UniFL Drivers to play game if Dell is not providing Cat 13.1

well this ones available for 50K everywhere from where he bought it.. It has i5 3rd gen processor written over it, so its obvious that the price was justified at the time of purchase..

He asked me if 8870 was a good graphic card and i told him that it is somewhat equivalent to 640m(my friends compare every radeon gc with nvidia) and then he said he was buying a dell laptop with i5-3rd gen, 1Tb HDD, 6 GB RAM, Windows 8 and 2 GB 8870 gc for 46K.. Felt that something was fishy as earlier one of my friends had bought the same config for 54K(15r turbo).. Poor chap..

Can you tell me from where did he purchased the laptop? What about the quality of display and how much is the approx battery life in hours ?

Please also let me know whether the display panel is thin or normal LED.

I am planning to buy an i7 with 8 GB RAM.
