My Main aim while writting this review is to let other people know the pros and cons of
HCL Laptops of P-Series which I purchages since 1- year back.
Positive Things
1. Value for money:- Hardware combination for the payed amount is good.
2. Bunduled Software:- It comes with several bunduled softwares like Nero , DVD softwares, and the best antivirus software Zone-Alam (I did a lot of practicals on this antivirus s/w , result of which is now that I am using it as a full version). It come with a very very powerful Firewall. If you are good in Windows work flow understandings then only enable this firewall feature otherwise it will be nightmare for you to even access your Windows functionalities. At end this firewall highly secures your system. I am enjoying this Antivirus and firewall system
3. Windows XP comes by Default.
Negative Things
1.
Low Hardware quality :- Within 3 months of purchage , There is a permanent 4-cm thin bar on the all 4 edeges of my LCD screen. So colour of any thing (vidieo , picture) which is displayed on this portion , is fade. A very bad experience while watching movies.
2. Viewing Angle :- While watching moving objects like Videos , you can't see it cleary if you are not watching it directly infront of LCD. This means if you are sitting infront of LCD at about 2 meters and 2 of your friends are sitting with you at your left/right then your second friend will not be able to watch the picture clearly.
3. Bad quality of Sticker :- Stickers (HCLsticker pasted above the keyPad) are of bad Quality. It vasnished on the second day. When I informed this to the HCL dedicated shop in Pune, they simply refuesed.
4. Bad Rubber Pad behind the Laptop Base :-There use to be 1- rubber pad on each corner of the
laptop base. These 4 pads help the laptop to remain at its surface even though we move our LCD screen toward us or far from us. Or even when typing.
But in my case 2- diagonal pad vanished within 2- hours of purchage of Laptop. So from the first day I am facing problem during setting screen inclination for better viewing.
Be aware of one fraudlance while purchaging the LAPTOP. While presenting demo of Laptop they will show you . running winodws XP and by opening several software on it. Sofwares will open at very fast speed
But when you bring it to the home , the same software don't open with the same speen. Amazing naaa !!!
Do you know why?
While showing lapTop they say that This Laptop has 256 MB of RAM and guy opens different applications on it. But acutally in the sample LapTop they keep 1GB (4 times of actual RAM with which they will deliver you and also advertising), so every application was opening faster than with 256 MB RAM which you will actually has.
This happened in my case. I did not notices this fraudulence, Though I am a experienced Programmer and was part time PC seller during my college days. A GREAT MISTAKE.
