After launching a new-age portable format, the Lapbook, with negligible on-board storage which forced the user to store everything — data, apps, tools in the cloud, Micromax has gone back to the classic format of a laptop with decent hard disk storage of 500 GB.
Pre-installed with the latest Windows 10 operating system, the Micromax Alpha L135 stands out for the size of its DDR3 RAM — 6 GB. This can make all the difference to users who like to do their own version of parallel processing — downloading a heavy YouTube video, while checking email, or working on a document, with music streaming in the background With 6GB, the chances of your screen freezing with the memory overload are very remote.
The display is a generous 15.6 inches, which ensures the keyboard is big enough for the chubby-fingered. But with the screen resolution 1366 by 768 pixels, you can’t enjoy full HD movies inspite of the good screen size.
The battery promises just under 5 hours of use which is fine, though you pay the price of having a hard disk instead of solid state storage. The makers wisely offer a combo of two USB2 and two USB3 ports plus a HDMI port, in addition to ethernet and audio jack, plus WiFi and Bluetooth, so no complaints on the score of connectivity. The Intel Core i3 processor-Win10 help the startup and shutdown to be fast. At 2.1 kg, this is not too weighty nor is the asking price of Rs 26,990.
