HCL P28 PDC

HCL next offering and basically identical to the cosh-like G28 CP, which isn’t bad if you intend to be setting at your desk with your notebook for most of the time. This one is just heavy, and shares the same keys and feedback. We didn’t like the very hard-to-press shortcut buttons on the front bezel. Other convenience issues were the lack of any type of buttons for activating and deactivating WLAN connectivity. Bluetooth is lacking (also on the G 28 CP).

Power by a Core 2 Duo T2330, a 2 GB of RAM, along with a 160 GB hard drive, this has a marginally better configuration, though battery life is down at an abysmal 81 minutes. For Rs 28,990, this notebook will have takers only from the lot who want a notebook and are graduating there from a desktop. Portability freaks, performance users and aficionados will give this a miss.
