    yes,some 3049tx gives vibration sometimes in case of improper earthing,otherwise it is very good product,i suggest you that you can check vibration problem at your purchasing center(i.e. hp store or any other store)before purchasing this product.if it gives vibration then don't purchase it,otherwise buy it,actually my friend also purchased it,and he is very satisfied with performance.

    It doesnt have backlit keyboard and I have not experience any vibration or shocks till now. I am very satisfied and happy with this one. I bought it from India and I am using it in Dubai now. There is not much of a difference in price in Dubai and I am glad I bought it from India.

    hello aman,(1) my friend's 3049tx has not much heating issue,although you to purchase a usb laptop cooling pad which cost you Rs. 150-170,

    (2) sound is dolby surround sound,which gives surround sound quaality audio output around laptop radius and and if you have high quality output you will get good sound,and if you have normal audio,the range of sound reach is less.

    (3)you should also update sound driver from hp website.

    Nothing special technically,Just power on 3049tx at dealer's store, remove your shoes(i know it is very odd) and touch around touchpad,if you are not feeling earth,shock or vibrations,than i think it is fine and you can buy this.Use for atleast 10 to 15 minutes and touch around its body.

    Hello Dear,
    1. For scroll you have to move two fingers simultaneously in horizontal or vertical scrolling direction.
    2. Some HP laptops do not have the option to show the "time left" they only show percentage.Although you can try Notebook Hardware Control, Battery Eater, or MobileMeter.

    @Nirmal Kumar-Definitely Corei7 is better than Corei5 but you will find hardly any performance difference in normal case,because normal case cpu usage is 25-30%,so CPUs capicity in both cases noy fully utilized,and also Corei5 is cheaper than Corei5,so if you want a decent laptop you can buy above laptop,and if you have more money than you should buy Corei7 laptop.
