Specifications:

DDR3 1600Mhz RAM 2GB
Hitachi hard drive( Travelstar z5k500)
LG DVD writer(HL DT ST GT70N)

Pros.

+ Great build quality for this budget, you wont feel this as a 21k machine.
+ Big touch pad, great for windows 8 as there are many gesture support
+ Screen is good
+ New high graphics games will run smoothly if you turn off anti aliasing and run in medium setting, though fps will not very high, but will not also be very low
+ Battery life is good, it can give you 4 hr backup for normal tasks
+ 1600 MHz RAM with CL 11-11-11-28
+ Laptop stays very cool

Cons.

- Speaker sound is really really low as they are at the bottom
- When using for long time, due to some reason the touchpad sometimes behaves abnormally, when you touch the touchpad, the mouse pointer may jump randomly ar vibrate in its position
- The 2GB RAM is SOLDERED, so you only can use a 1600MHz RAM eith CL 11-11-11-28 with this one. If you want to use different specification RAM that may create problem. I have deducted one star only for this reason. Otherwise its worthy of five star.
