Veer -

Good choice for developers.

Installed Ubuntu 18.04LTS. Patch the latest kernel to make touchpad working.
Right click wont work directly.

CPU processing capacity is excellent. 8GB RAM is sufficient to run the Android SDK/emulator and a Web server at the same time.

Battery is just OK. It drains quite fast.

Screen resolution is not the best, so buying this for high end gaming/design work may not be good.

Didn't notice any heating issues.

Overall, good choice for software developers.

Poor battery life.

If you are looking for this laptop, i must tell you that, you've to compromise with its battery life. I'm using it since 18Oct 18, i noticed that it took 3H20M to reach 0 to 100% but completely exhausted in just 1H and 2H25M when i played low graphic game and watched a movie respectively. Performance is just okay. On 25oct got replaced but the the new one has the same issues I.e. low sound, and battery draining.

Touchpad

Rohit Singh-

Good but Build Quality is quite low

Some Games I ran till now:
CS GO: >65 FPS High Settings
Fortnite: 35-40 FPS Medium-Low Settings
Battlefield 4: 35-40 FPS Medium Settings
Autodesk Maya works fine
Unreal Engine works good
Loading Time of softwares is quite high
Benchmarked its CPU and it was underperforming
Bootup time ~8-10 sec
Build Qualtiy is low. I think its low quality fibre body
Touchpad Quality is also poor
There are only 2 usb ports that too on one side
No CD drive (as described)
Camera Quality is fine
Its adapter is quite poorly designed
Overall: The outer components are not that well built but the inner components should run fine with proper optimization
Don't get confused if you can push your budget a bit I would suggest to go for a laptop with Nvidia mx150 graphics though this gpu is also good but the mx150 is slightly better.

3. Light weight
4. 2 TB disk
5. 8 GB RAM
6. go for DOS laptop, save ~8K and install windows by self

CONS:
1. Cheap plastic
2. Very short charging cord
3. Not very durable

I bought this laptop on 21jan 2019 on sale . as it's DOS system so I was trying to install windows but touchpad did not work as I was installing in legacy boot mode .
Then I called to lenovo customer care he suggested to install in uefi mode and it worked .

What is my observation:
look wise it is good , battery performance is not upto the mark . CPU gives 1.6ghz( I didnot notice at the time of purchase) speed. Even you have cd drive space and carved boundaries but it is not available. 2 usb port are adjacent which restrict you to use only one at a time.

Overall good product !!

This is edit of my review ,earlier I was not able to get the right solution and also returned this laptop and get the replacement and gave the bad review as I was frustrated to make the touchpad work but now Everything is fine.

Pros:
Good configurations at this price (if you buy below 40k then ok, other wise not worth), same config other laptops in the market around 45k to 50k
Performance is good.

Cons:
DOS based OS, need to buy windows OS this will cost extra if you want genuine edition.
Battery backup not more than 2 to 2.5 hrs max
Build quality: laptop outlook is good but keypad switches and display screen edges not well.
Touch pad is different and not designed well.
Resolution is not good and it is not Full HD
Audio output is very low sound even at 100%, we have to keep our ears to near speakers then we can hear sound :)
Entry level graphic card so didn't expect much with this graphic card.

Prabhu kumar-

1) Windows 10 doesn’t really need to be activated. Just keep using the OS, there is just an annoying water mark on bottom right.
2) installed OS in UEFI mode, didn’t have touch pad issues, press F2 when laptop starts, go to boot, select UEFI start up.
3) pathetic sound quality. A 3 day old kitten mocked the laptop for volume and clarity!
4) nothing fancy, just barebones for getting office type work done.
5) get it on a deal / exchange other wise - not worth the MRP.
