Welcome back guys this is me umang back again to give a detailed review about a Budget Segment Laptop manufactured by Iball as a part of "Tech for All" initiative.
Lets Start
This laptop in my terms is a beast in this budget segment because the competitors in this segment won't give this much ram as well as this powerful processor.
This laptop was launched as a upgrade to its predecessor Premio V2.0 in terms of Ram & Processor although the pricing was in same range as that of Premio V2.0 around Rs 14000/- which can be purchased from the below mentioned links (Just click on image).
I prefer to go with flipkart as it gives additional Rs1000/-discount if paid with credit card plus no cost emi option however for one day delivery amazon is the best.
In terms of Quick Recap this laptop comes with the following Specs :-
I got this laptop in July 2019 for Rs 12990/- the main reason i got this laptop being a student with limited money and resources we need a laptop that can perform our day to day basic tasks and to some extent a little bit of gaming😆.
Processor
This laptop come with a 8th Gen Intel Pentium n4200 processor which in other terms i can say comparable to 3rd gen Intel i3 processor because the benchmarks are similar however the base frequency is 1.4 GHz when the system is idle keeping battery life to average 3.5 - 4 hrs usage & it goes upto 2.4 GHz at full usage which drains the battery within a time limit of 30 minutes also it is a octacore processor means the threads handling is very smooth & it is also the latest offering which no other competitor offers.
Ram & Storage
This laptop comes with a 4GB DDR3 memory which is a major upgrade believe me guys no other laptop in this segment gives this much ram and this powerful processor although if you purchased this laptop you might need to spend an additional Rs 4000/- on a 500gb SSD because the space offered is 32 gigs and that too is a EMMC however if you want to extend the space there is an option to install a separate 2.5 inch (7mm) HDD or SSD which roughly costs around Rs 4000-4500/-easy for 500 GB.
Display
The main attraction of this laptop is its Full HD IPS display which is a beauty in every sense of word the viewing experience is beautiful also it is capable of playing 4K videos without any lag imagine surfing FHD videos online lag free.
Office Use
For office purposes i considered this as a risky investment not because of storage space but because of build quality as the body is made of plastic which bends easily if a light pressure is applied all the best if you have to carry it to your office however for work from home purposes this is the best option as it is capable of running MS office 2013, Tally, & other office productivity apps, etc lag free but this laptop is not capable of running apps used for coding, interior designing purposes, etc.
Gaming
As i told earlier that this laptop has N4200 process which is quite a beast according to its price range but that doesn't mean we can play heavy title games like GTA 5, Far Cry 5 or 4, Fifa 2015, etc.
Although i tried to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare (1,2,3) , PES 2015 & 2017, Transport Fever, Tropico 5 etc the performance really surprised me we can play all this titles except PES 2017 lag free on medium settings yes i am speaking truth the 4GB ram and Pentium 8th Gen is capable to run games that require ram of maximum 3 GB although for space constraints i already told that i installed a Western Digital 2.5 inch 240GB SSD which is enough for me although i cant be sure whether the performance will be same if HDD is installed.
Overall i want to say that as per the price segment there was a little room left for up gradation in terms of quality but overall for this price the offering is best according to me as it was successfully able to meet my basic requirements from a laptop.
From the point if view of purchasing its your choice whether to purchase it or not but in terms of rating it deserves 4 out of 5 in my opinion.
Thank you for investing your time in reading this review if anyone wants to ask any question regarding my review or anything about this laptop fee free to comment below i surely get back to you.
Thank You.
