Micromax Canvas Lapbook L1160 11.6-inch Laptop (Intel Quad Core/2GB/32GB/Windows 10/Integrated Graphics), Black

Hi,So I have received this laptop (netbook) just few hours ago, so these are my just first thoughts.Build quality - overall it`s good, you can feel its plastic body, you can even hear it from time to time, but guys, this is not the thinkpad. This is super cheap laptop for travelers, students etc. This shouldn`t be you major laptop. It`s very light (1kg), and very thin (+- 2cm). The laptop does not have any FAN, so dont expect any sounds from this machine. The whole machine is black plastic, just the top display cover is silver with the logo of micromax.Hardware: display - IT IS NOT AN IPS screen as it`s written in the description (please amazon fix the description), so do not expect super viewing angles! It`s just an average TN panel, the resolution is quite good for this 11.6 inches LCD (1366*768). What I really like is the minimum brightnes - very soft for reading at the night. On the other hand the maximum brightnes could be higher, but for working inside it`s enough. ooo, I`ve almost forgotten this - the display has matte finish (it`s not the glossy one). You have to expect warmer color reproduction, so most of the the white color is a bit yellowish (compared to my workbook from Dell). Also there is no touchscreen, so you can not control this laptop as a tablet!CPU+RAM+Drive: So this is the basic 4-core Intel Atom CPU without active cooling (one more time, no more sounds from the fan) packed together with 2GB RAM and 32GB flash drive (the eMMC 5.0, the same that is used in cell phones). Even under heavy load (4k video streaming) this CPU doesnt boil any eggs (I was really really suprised). This HW can even handle the 4k video on youtube, but in case you want the 4k smooth, you have to watch it through the Microsoft edge (firefox can play smooth youtube only upto 1080p). I have also tried the mkv files and this HW has no problem to handle multimedia.In terms of the drive, you have only 32GB flash drive (made by Samsung in my case), after the first setup you will have 20GB free space, you can buy micro SD card for really small price now, so I would suggest just to add to the basket the 64GB micro SD with this laptop.Keyboard and touchpad: keyboard is the one part you can feel where they cut the price in terms of lower quality. The touch is not so smooth, and it could be better. But still I am writing this review on this laptop and I am comparing you with the Dell workbook (which costs 8x more). You can get use to it, so it`s nothing you should worry about. The touchpad does not recognize multitouch, but it does not really bother me since I prefer this older version of classic touchpads.Connectivity: so we have a bluetooth and wifi here. I have just tried the WIFI and so far is working without any problems (already connected to two different networks).There is also RJ45 connector, 2x USB, micro SD card slot so dont try to save your money and add at least 64GB micro SD. We have also HDMI connector (the traditional one), and there is the 3.5mm jack connector for headset (you can use the same headset as you use for your cell phone).Software: All you get is original installation of Windows 10 (32 bit version, even if the CPU support 64 bit), it`s a clean version, without any additional 3P software. All you have to do is to register your device. You dont have to buy a license, the license is already there and device is activated in terms of Windows.Battery: so far it`shard to comment, but I was able to did some tests (video, youtube etc.), installs (firefox, VLC), and the screen on time is around 3 hours, I went from 86% to 36%, so I should have no problem to survive at least 5 hours online (my display has at least +60% of the brightness). EDIT: battery is quite good. I would expect around 6-7 hours of watching movies (with high brightnes and turned on wifi, and probably around 5 hours of browsing with high brightness)Final resolution: I would definitely buy it one more time!Micromax vs iBall Excelance CompBook 11.6I wanted to order Micromax instead of Iball. The reason was simple - the IPS Screen. Since it`s not true, I would maybe think about it one more time and finally I would also consider the iBall, but I have also read the review when the reviewer was complaining about the not really good working touchpad (This would be still hard for me, because be honest guys, who from you is taking mice with yourself on the trips). So once the iball solves the problem with touchpads, their iBall series can be even better choice. In terms of HW it`s just the same package, but iBall offers more than double battery (if it`s true, 4 500mAh vs 10 000mAh for iBall).

Can't believe that Micromax brand disappeared as if it never existedAnd this one thing from Micromax was truly a gold piece as the pc had everything that a student would want for there everyday lifeThe storage was an issue but for a kid or student, this was the best option than going for some chromebook or other lightweight pcThis was THE BEST option for students and kids

This laptop looks great in terms of configuration which has for this price but it has bundle of issues with it.11.6 inch screen will start blinking when we use mobile near to this lapbook, that means it has hardware issue and the same thing is already confirmed by Micromax Customer Care.Windows 10 updated version has issue with the Audio playback drive, I have tried my level best to fix this issue but I couldn't.I felt its good laptop to use but after delivery my expectations went completely wrong and I've shared my issues with Amazon but they directly asked me to get in touch with Manufacturer (Micromax).Good Thing:*Performs better for this price(Hands MS office 2013 version smoothly, Browsing spped is good when connected with Airtel n idea 3G n 4G data by using Mobile WiFi Hotspot)*Light weight n good look*Battery backup is good (8 to 10 hours)Bad Thing:*Hardware issue n screen will blink suddenly*In terms of speed, its very average but acceptable for this price tag*Think of sale after service (If at all any issue with Laptop)After sale Service:It depends on the location where you put on.As I'm from Bangalore, I've visited Koramangala Micromax care for the hardware issue.Agents of service center are very polite n soft in nature but the problem is they will not do service for laptop in Bangalore, they will send laptop to Micromax head office located in Delhi.After lot of trouble somehow I can able to convince Amazon team to get replacement of my lapbook.My advice:I bought this laptop because I like Indian product but quality wise it's really not so good choice so don't do the mistake what I did, better spend 3 to 5k extra and go for better brand than this (HP, Lenovo n Acer).Micromax is not the right choice because it has issue with hardware as well as Software.As a customer I can give this advice and now its up to you to choose the better one as u wish.
