HP 15-g049AU.
Its 24k on Flipkart and kicks ass of all laptops within 30k. The A8 cpu is just as good as an i3. Good graphics for 720p gaming and Windows 8 installed.

Any idea how this laptop performs? I asking because i am using Aspire One 725 its performance sucks. It takes 1 minute to open chrome. :shock:

Will HP 15-g049AU perform better than Acer Aspire One 725?

I don't know how it performs because i have never used it. But read all the user reviews on Flipkart. According to them performance is generally good.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I narrowed down my search to these two models HP 15-g049A and Lenovo G50-45

HP 15-g049AU Notebook (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (K5B45PA) Rs.23790 Price in India - Buy HP 15-g049AU Notebook (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (K5B45PA) Online - HP : Flipkart.com

Lenovo G50-45 Notebook (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (80E3014FIN) Rs.24250 Price in India - Buy Lenovo G50-45 Notebook (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (80E3014FIN) Online - Lenovo : Flipkart.com

After comparing them side by side, two thing i didn't like about Lenovo G50-45

HP 15-g049AU Notebook (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (K5B45PA) vs Lenovo G50-45 Notebook (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8.1) (80E3014FIN): Compare Computers: Flipkart.com

Screen Type : HD TN GL Flat Display ( What is meant by HD TN GL display??? How is the Quality?? - HD - Graphics Cards)
Wireless LAN : Non-Intel 1X1 BGN


These two thing seems the drawback for Lenovo G50-45 over HP 15-g049A.

What do you guys say, is it a drawback?, or is HP 15-g049A better than Lenovo G50-45? :wink:

Edit: Seems to be OOS. :oops:

I purchased HP 15-g049A. Performance is mindblowing, didn't expect so much performance, way beyond my exception. :)
