For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Handles daily work and multitasking without fuss
  • Clean, slim look that lies flat
  • Comfortable backlit keys and accurate touchpad
  • Good value at its Indian price
  • Neat design and finish
  • Pleasant keyboard and touchpad
  • Strong value for money

Cons

  • Battery needs a charge after about five hours of real use
  • Screen is dim outdoors with some backlight bleed
  • Memory cannot be upgraded
  • Muddy, quiet speakers
  • Modest battery life
  • Soldered RAM and no second SSD slot
  • No fingerprint or face login
  • 91mobilesSep 2024

    Tested the Ryzen 5 7530U / 16GB version at Rs 36,990: a smart-looking, sensibly priced everyday laptop for students, held back by a small battery, a dim screen and warmth when gaming.

  • Profesional ReviewSep 2023

    Spanish review of the i5-1335U / 16GB version: a well-priced, portable office laptop with a good keyboard, though battery life is only about 6.5 hours and the AMD Modern 15 lasts longer.

  • SMBtechMar 2023

    Australian review of the i5-1335U / 16GB version: a capable general-purpose portable that does nothing badly but nothing brilliantly; check you can live with the compromises.

  • CNETDec 2023

    A solid budget laptop with a sturdy feel and normal keyboard and touchpad, let down by a dim 16:9 screen and weak speakers (tested version not stated).
