Once the keyboard back light is off it is completely black.
 
Installing Win 8 using the product key on the laptop should work I guess.

There is no win 8 key given in pre-installed win 8 devices.

Does anyone know how to clean install win 8 on this machine?????? no bloatwares just win and drivers...???????


Press the one key recovery key present near power socket(when laptop is in off state). Go to reccovery & restore. It will repartition your hard disk & your laptop will go to factory state.......

or

In Win8 desktop, go to charms bar >> settings >> Change PC settings >> general >> scroll down to find "Refresh your PC....." & "Remove everything and...." . Choose one of them

I'm yet to receive my synaptics touchpad......

Product key..!!!? Nope, All coz of UEFI Bios.. win8 pc's now embed product key in BIOS. Btw, these licenses are non-transferable to another PC..!!!

Hi, can u please explain to what bloatware you are referring to?
regardless of the boot time-out in "msconfig" Win8 would load in 8-10sec's, if your laptop's bios hasn't changed (default - UEFI mode).
Try this --> Goto TaskManager - Startup tab disable all those you don't require.. Last BIOS time considerably decreases. Btw, My Last BIOS Time is as low as 3.5 sec :D
 
i bought it two weeks back..registered the complaint the same day..got it replaced today

In which city/town do u live ?

I've removed many, my last BIOS time was 7.1 sec. I'm happy with my laptop's performance, its ready to use after 2minutes from the time u turn it on
