Yeah. It bends when you hold it from the edge.
The screen hinge is terrible. The screen stopped working unless you fully open it. Within months.
Sonn the screen cracked internally when my dad was just typing a word doc. Acer wanted 17k to fix it FFS .

WTF 17k !! Wasn't it under warranty? BTW my 1 frnd has also acer lappy and he also got some display problem which was due to faulty 5650 gfx. Although he gave it to service centre within a month of purchase, they didn't gave him a new lappi, rather a used one , but it was problem free. the only best part of lappi was that it costed 45k for i5(fst gen) & 5650gfx, which at that time was provided by no other company under 54k (an year ago).

No warranty. And yes, 17 ****ing k. The laptop was worth 22k only (when bought). 16k when the screen cracked.

oh is it.then that would be a better choice. in croma they give it for 44k along with a wireless bluetooth mouse and creative headset.

any other thing which competes with this model at the same cost ?

check the model beforehand so that u get the usb 3.0 model...

Well do not be very catchy with the free optical mice. check the system configuration. I think that the best place to buy a dell laptop is through the dell store and talk to the sales man for a discount and you will surely get one if you are a student or your father is a corporate/govt employee.

Check for the latest processors released in sept.

Bulldozer?

 

[smartyrohan12]

ohk bulldozer ...but i guess they will be launched in 2012 for laptops..

 

[pankajgarg]

Bulldozer?

Well Intel has released new core i7 laptops. They are available in the dell XPS for sure.

Also there is a government employee discount by some companies and so one can opt for it.

hi everyone,

I was planning to buy HP 6121-tx, but in some of the threads here I saw 6140-tx is more vfm. But I couldn't find it on the HP India site. Is it a discontinued model?

Also suggest if there are any other models within this price range. I'll be mainly using the laptop for Unity3D, Fireworks, Visual Studio and for casual gaming.

Thanks.
