6.66k
corrected

that would make it the king of all gadgets
this is satans evil plan
rule the world with a cheap gaming laptop priced at 6.66k

Dirt cheap unlikely. Most likely competitive pricing in the range of 90 - 95,000 should do good.

i know it wont happen but if it does ,itll be a steal

A similar config is already available from MSI I think @~97k. That's much more better looking than HP sht.

yeah i have a HP G6 good for the price but pathetic plastic body,keyboard and touchpad
even the more expensive HPs have the exact same parts apparently

I agree with you two.
I wont mind if all the consumer notebooks looked the same if the exterior was more durable. Especially the touchpad buttons that are so hard. Even my sony Vaio has the same crap hard touchpad.

So, are you going to provide any feedback based on this "useful" discussion??

I waited and longed for an AMD Kaveri APU based laptop,mainly from HP or ASUS or LENOVO.
But human nature,mind,thoughts are always peculiar and unpredictable.

Ultimately , plunged in for DELL Inspiron 14 5447 Ultrabook/Laptop at Flipkart during the Diwali DELLSE offer. An awesome Ultrabook/Laptop ,which has completely satisfied me. ALREADY THROWN AWAY MY ILLOGICAL AMD FANBOYISM,before this grand purchase.

HP laptops are great,but some of my colleagues who purchased them,are running fully O.K.,without issues,except the body and built made up of plastic.

Though my DELL Inspiron 14 5447 laptop falls under the "GAMING" category,yet it will be remained unused as I am not a "GAMER". I was interested and enthusiastic about the performance of Intel core-i5(4th gen. CPU),in a smaller compact 14" screen size sweet spot usage.

Yes. I am yet to test this notebook.
Once I get it I may post a review. Can you suggest a game/benchmark software to do this.
I am not much into PC gaming as you know so I have not kept myself up to date with performance hungry games and reliable benchmark software of the current gen.

DELL also has its place.
I believe, the decision is based on how the current generation product performs in the market and other market research that is beyond me.

Thanks, [MENTION=85950]Gollum[/MENTION] for a reassuring reply.
Actually I am not a researcher on this aspect,but browsing through @TDF and other forums,blogs,articles,I took an optimal approach. Even a couple of years back,HP was plagued by battery issues,which created a dent on its image. Though they have revived back from that unfortunate event.At least DELL do have a presence of stability and well built ness in the Tech world.

yeah i have a vaio CR as well,touchpad was nice but the buttons wore out very easily
on the whole it was a good lappie other than a few minor issues
ive had 2 issues with the HP,once with the power button and once with the touchpad
had to pay 4k to extend warranty and come back a week later for repairs
still better than dell though,they asked me 15k for a manufacturing defect of my fresh out of warranty laptops display(Dell Inspiron 7520) im waiting for it to die completely instead of repairing it now

I hope laptop quality in India improves soon
my friend and i buy the same laptops after careful research except he usually gets it from his uncle in US ,i prefer getting it with warranty in India itself
his laptops are still flawless
im gonna buy from US without warranty next ,atleast the quality will be better
good thing is parts for dell are available cheap and easily comparatively

Can you do something about the stupid split up/down arrow keys?

 

[kg11sgbg]

The DELL Inspiron 14 5447 which I own has a large touchpad,and is more or less feather touch in experience. The left and right click buttons are just separated by a thin hair like partition or wedge. Keyboard is of island type.
Overall a very good experience in touch pad and typing,and much better compared to that of HP.

One thing I will never get is this - Why do youngsters like to spend so much of "Baap's" money on useless things like pc games and laptops? I mean spending 40 -50,000 is ok. But 1 lakh?

Why did you say spending 40k-50k is okay? For some it's a big sum, for others, it is not. Youngsters spend what their parents can afford comfortably. 1 lakh may not be much for some families.
Some will think that even 40k-50k is spending too much while some parents can comfortably spend 1-2 lakhs on them.

Also, some parents spend when their children achieve something while others spend just like that.

Jewellery and "precious" stones are much more useless than games and laptops, why the heck people spend billions on them?

Its India where you can't even get a decent gaming laptop @60k while other parts of the world gets them. We are left with overpriced underpowered stuff which the companies claim to be "premium".

+1, for this.
In fact the DELL Inspiron 14 5447 Ultrabook/Laptop purchased @Rs.42,400/- is from MY HARD EARNED MONEY.Yes Brothers, my earnings which I had earned,because I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth.

First - This is not for those parents who can but mainly those who can't. Other point being - Majority of these products are manufactured outside India so the revenue is also going outside India.

Not that it's a crime though. Just giving my opinion.

It's the education system's fault. Indian students are trained to crack exams, gain marks and get a job but not to innovate, take risks and invent.

Majority of these jewellery companies - PC Jewellers, PC CHndra, S Chandra are of Indian origin and the revenue remains with India.

Regarding your second point, totally agree. Totally overpriced and exploitation of Indian customers. There should be awareness regarding this.

Yup, but not only the education system, it's the total system.

It's actually the people who hate change and are not capable of taking risks.

Sorry for getting offtopic,

Its not about the revenue being within the country. Its about showing off the bling.

"oh, thats a shiny piece of metal/stone. I must have it at any cost. It'll be mine forever. blah blah blah"

Why not spend on something useful like food and education instead of that?

100k Laptops are actually useful compared to 1000k of jewellery.
An average laptop which costs 60k in India costs the OEM around 35-40k to make, add 5k for shipping and customs. Rest is the profit middle men make, i.e. wholesaler, distributor, local shops and transportation costs.
