my frnd installed the consumer preview and immediately removed it and was terribly upset...i thought thats the consumer preview and hence the bad aspect....when W8 was launched he again installed it and as expected removed it at once..he also suggested me to go for a laptop which has W7 pre-installed instead of W8....
also at what price can i expect the 2202tx and the 2201ax in other showrooms......will the purchase from there be as good as from a HP world showroom...?

expect price to be almost same as flipkart.
yup. all shop sell original product. just check they are giving you from a fresh box and not one of the unit used for demo purpose (loose/box with broken seal).

. And you better give any Windows 8 laptop a miss. More and more peoples are criticizing Windows 8. Even my friend tried windows 8 and said he is least impressed.

whats so bad in the WINDOWS 8...even all of my frnds are saying its very useless
i cant install WIN 7 in my PC.due to the deathly 256 MB ram...forget WIN 8....i just had a glance at the HP showroom yesterday...the metro looks good though i have doubts on practicality....

as regards to the HP 2201ax...i found the screen quality just average......maybe that was because of the extensive lighting in the showroom or that they would have set it at the lowest brightness and visual settings....

Yeah, seriously what is bad about Win8? Can someone just clarify.. given that everyone will move into Windows 8 from 7 sooner or later. The metro style was good when I saw it. Heard the boot times are much fast and one can use Win 8 like 7 only. @123Hero screen quality was good in 2201ax when I saw it.

Windows 8 is confusing but more importantly, many games are not compatible. even with patches games doesn't run. some have even went as far as trying cracks on legal copies to make it work. so all i can say is if you are a gamer avoid Windows 8.

quality is obviously not great. but brightness is really high and so is the viewing angles. it was in case of 2005AX. 2201AX should be the same laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled but you can never say.

if the pictures were not very natural, then it is fine. one can fine tune those easily.

you'll have to relearn the whole OS thing again. I have not used Windows 8 personally so can only say what my friend told. Will try to check it on a friend's PC. But till now i have only heard -ve about Windows 8. And Microsoft will release a new OS update next year called Windows Blue. It "may" bring back some changes. Else Windows 8 is a sinking ship.

Metro style is best suited for touch experience not clicking with cursors.
