The product or an accessory should be faulty, and that's it, they'll replace/refund it, that is quite a generous timeline.

I'll confirm from flipkart..
btw plz answer the comparison that I made ...
which one is Better and why ??

I am just finalizing the Samsung laptop.
One last question- will it have heating issues or not? Will there be heating issues with normal usage and light gaming or not?

well I Mean to say with normal usage like watching HD movies , browsing internet. in more then two browsers at once, music,programming, Ms office etc . and just 1 hour or 1.5 gaming like games like gta 4 or not so gpu intensive games..
I am not hardcore gamer... will just used to play games of popular titles for fun and timepass for not more then 1.5 hours..
will still it will heat up? ??
HP 200x series that costs about 32k has same specs and according to reviews it doesn't that heat much so I think this will not too but hearing people complaint about samsung laptops with heat issues scared to purchase. it as by buying it.if I am not taking a risk ..
let me know from samsung owners if u have link then share here plz....

no laptop gets over heated while watching HD movies or browsing and if it does then you should RMA the ****.. And since you aint a serious gamer, then i dont think you'l face any problems..

It refers to warranty.


Since warranty is 8 letters and RMA is 3 and sound cooler we use RMA(Return merchandise authorization).

Go with dell, i3 is better than A8 in most tasks and Dell is better than Samsung any day. And you are getting a pretty good price for it, HP support is shoddy, for a start they don't even know which drivers support their laptops :facepalm:

I'd say yes, my experience with HP was pathetic.

And for your other answer you can upgrade the ram and HDD on any laptop without voiding warranty.

which hp laptop you have earlier which caused problems ??
and actually with that price gap of rs.1250, he can actually upgrade his ram up to 6gb :p
do you really think all hp laptops will be bad as yours one.. ??

HP530, had a motherboard issue(the vga port was not functioning properly and I needed it to give presentations in college), they didn't even take a look at the mobo itself, straightway said 15k to replace mobo and even then they were not sure if they could source the mobo, said WTF and got out and took it to a local shop, opened the lappy, a pin had become loose, resoldered it, took 200/-

HP laptops are great, I never said HP laptops are bad, but HP service, atleast in my case was pathetic.
