Yesterday I bought Dell Vostro series laptop from Amazon India, Vostro 3446 14 inch highly configured hardware at optimum pricing with Targus Laptop bag. I got around 5000 INR (~$80) off on occasion of New Year Sale offered by Amazon.
Pricing of Dell Vostro 3446 is 28970 INR ($460) in India. Here is the detail specification of product I got:
| Features and Specification: | |

I got the laptop with Ubunto 12.04 operating system. Later I did format and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. After Installation I supposed that all the hardware will work. But I was wrong in supposing, none of my hardware was working.
Note: There was no drivers disc along with package.
I looked online for drivers, I found few of working driver and few were not supporting my system. After lot of search for compatible drives, I found few link to download Dell Vostro 3000 series drivers.
Now finally, my new laptop is working quite a good but few glitches (touchpad mouse, fn key) are still pending to be resolved.
As I got my laptop online, I was in need to register warranty online. So I register with dell warranty where I was asked for few details in online form filling and submission. It is expected that registration of warranty would take around 15 days for Dell support.
Note and Conclusion:
Overall Dell Vostro 3446 package with high configuration was good at nominal pricing (Thanks to Amazon India).
