I am a software developer my previous employer had provided me a Dell inspiron it was plain laptop china made with low quality materials, display and sound was very poor that didn't matter to me as I was using just for programming purpose and it was fine with that never enjoyed movie or songs in it...within 1 year of use the condition of laptop was pathetic with total worn out look and looked something like used for ages
I was in Saudi that time and wanted to buy a laptop for my personal use so I checked dell laptops it was cheaper compared to India but I didn't like it because quality of material used was poor since it was china made ( obvious thing).so I dropped my plan of buying laptop in Saudi I though I will get better quality laptop in India as India is IT major and good quantity of laptops are sold here so I should get good one.
After coming down to India I checked Dell laptops in Chroma shops and found that same Chinese made are imported in India but I had seen dell studio laptop with my friend which was Malaysia made and it was beautiful after checking that laptop only I decided to go with dell studio I thought If I order Online I will get Malaysia made laptop.So I ordered online spent around Rs 48, 000 with laptop bag when my parcel arrived and when I opened that parcel I was totally pissed off.
It was same Chinese made crap with low quality material used for its body and keypads.
Color pathetic, no elegance
No led's for caps , numeric LAN etc
Display OK, sound better than inspiron
media keys and function keys are overlapped when I want to debug a program I need to hold function key and press F5, F7 F8 F10 F11 etc which is irritating.They should have provided separate keys for media
I didn't like paying windows OS with it as I can get same work from Ubuntu (linux) its kinda forcing OS on us I asked laptop without OS they said they don't sell it like that
everything is charged nothig is free no headphone no memory stick no free laptop bag.If I had bought it from local dealer instead of placing order online at least I would have got something for free
the bag(Belkin) they provided for Rs1500 got no cushions and of cheap synthetic material You get far better laptop bags in market
Rs48K is not too low amount to expect a laptop with good quality material .My brother is having DELL laptop from US and difference is big and he paid less for it!!! so why we Indians getting this chinese crap and how come same dell is coming with better quality in US market
Its face detection is one more thud Its booting a profile with no Icons in desktop ..again I have to restart and put my password to get my desktop back
