Hi, thanks for the reply. I lookd at the Acer Nitro Core 5 with 8th gen Processor here . Seems good. Do you have any opinion on this ? And as per your video, it says buy a notebook without NVMe SSD and buy one later. Do you know any laptop with an empty NVMe slot ?

Thanks for your replies. I was looking at this laptop from USA. Although it doesnt ship to india, maybe I can get someone to deliver it to me. Do you have any opinion on it ...

Thanks for the quick reply. This laptop is good, but at 126,000 INR its out of my budget. Is there anything cheaper ?

My current laptop is Samsung NP550p5c-S02in. I am very happy with this one except for the slow hard drive. Its 5 years old and showing all signs of imminent failure (heating/stuck pixels). Unlucky that Samsung stopped laptops, else I would buy the latest version of this. I am also considering...

I fell down from bicycle with my Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN and from that time the computer is not booting. It is not even showing any LEDs when i press the power button. I tried everything I could like plugging in charger without battery, battery without charger. Even tried switching RAM etc. I...

Hey all, ive got a problem on my S02-IN, the adapter tip connecting on the laptop becomes very hot. This happens especially when battery is charging. The adapter itself is not hot and the laptop internal temps/ volts are normal. Has anyone else got this problem ?

I updated my BIOS to P07AAA on S02 IN. I am surprised to find that even before logging into windows, the system fan is turned on at full speed and the laptop gets hotter quickly. The CPU shows 75 degs max. Am I the only one facing this problem ?? Anyone else installed P07AAA ?? The heat goes...

This can be due to poor earthing in your plug outlet. Go to a power outlet where you know that the earthing is fine and try again. Also go to safe mode (press F8 when booting just after BIOS) and see if the problem occurs in safe mode (if it does, your drivers are fine)

I have the same laptop, but i dont have this problem. Why cant you try calibrating the battery, that may solve the problem. Refer this link [HOW TO] Notebook Battery Calibration I updated my BIOS to P07AAA today on S02 IN. I am surprised to find that even before logging into windows, the...

It has international warranty. I got it and has a sticker saying the same. You can free upgrade it to 2yrs if you buy before Nov 15 and register at their site.

The only CD that comes with this laptop is the WIn7

The original installed OS comes with tons of bloatware and startup items (more than 100 !!!!!!) which will make your system slow. Moreover it has only one partition meaning that if your system crashes and you have to format and reinstall it all your personal files are lost (I am not talking abt...

I own the S02 laptop The build quality (not the look and style and finish) is average at best The screen wobbles in a light breeze, but this is not because the hinge is bad, but because the screen is very thin. The power adapter cable even when plugged in seems loose at the incoming pin (it...
