Speak Up About Your Laptop
What is that one thing you really like or strongly dislike about your laptop? I for instance don’t like my laptop’s keyboard--its’ too close to the touchpad, due to which my thumb invariably ends up tapping it when I’m typing. This changes the cursor’s position on the screen. I love the battery backup, which lasts at least 5 hours.
– Anil Chopra on facebook.com/pcquest I own a Dell Inspiron and like its chicklet keyboard. However, it is most irritating when the battery goes down. It asks me to press F1 to continue each time (why can’t it shut down without prompting?). It does hard boot after that most of the time, instead of resuming.
– Sudesh Prasad Sudesh Prasad, I also own a Dell Inspiron :-). But it’s only a few months old, so battery backup isn’t an issue. The chiclet keyboard is nice, but the gap between the keyboard and touchpad isn’t enough, which creates the problem I mentioned in my first email.
– Anil Chopra Anil Chopra, ThinkPad design is very pale ( just black), I understand that it is designed for business purpose, but still it could’ve been a little attractive, as we often use/carry the same laptop for personal use.
– Deepak Rajgarhia I dislike the low battery power, or it seems you just can’t have enough of it. The IT OEMs seem to think, power battery is some one else’s problem, so while they keep innovating and increasing the compute, memory, storage, display etc, the battery makers are left to follow an unrelated path of progress.
– Alok Sinha I have been a Dell notebook user since many many years now. What I like the best is their service. I am under complete cover. My screen gets a dead pixel; they replace my screen. One of my keys pop out; they replace my keyboard. My machine overheats; they replace the motherboard and heat sink. In terms of hardware, I love the Dell keyboard – next only to the keyboard of the Apple Macbook.
– Binesh Outty Support? Huh!! whats that. You need to actually experience it to say something about it. In office world, the support is provided by your internal IT team, so you do not know what is the backend scene. For a personal computer, support costs, beyond the bundled warranty, it is too much to bear and hence you go to the friendly neighborhood, Nehru Place, to fix it.
– Alok Sinha Alok, I agree with your corporate support comment. However, for personal notebooks, support is not all that expensive. If you shell out Rs. 40,000 for buying a notebook, you can easily pay Rs 3-5 thousand more for the additional complete cover warranty. I have gotten support and replacements worth 3x-5x times more than what I paid for the additional warranty every year :).
– Binesh Outty I have the Lenovo Ideapad and its performance is awesome-Core i5, 8GB RAM, 2 GB NVIDIA graphics-cant get better for gaming; but yes the battery life is short.
