I would suggest those who are looking under 45k to buy this Laptop.
I got it for 30k with exchange.
Overall decent but go for it

i.) I don’t know why people are cribbing so much about the screen. The laptops which have an IPS display with a similar configuration (and 15.6″ screens) are mostly over Rs. 55000. You get what you pay for. If needing an IPS display because you’re too lazy to occasionally adjust the screen is worth Rs.10000 more, be my guest. The screen and display are absolutely fine otherwise (yes, you can watch movies and everything else).

ii.) This is one of the only few models in this price range which has a backlit keyboard. If an IPS display truly matters though, you do have some Lenovo, Acer and HP laptops which are <45000. I'm not sure if they have backlit keyboards though.

iii.) The only issue I have (and this applies to all other brands) is the fact that almost all the newer laptop models have really small Up and Down arrow keys which can initially be inconvenient if you use them a lot. In the beginning, my fingers were getting cramped up due to that. It takes a bit of time to get used to them. It’s completely fine once you get used to it. However, if you want standard sized arrow keys, get another model. The laptop works smoothly otherwise and is good for everyday use.

iv.) There’s no point complaining that games work slowly because this is NOT a gaming laptop. You cannot buy a motorcycle and then complain that it does not fly. If you want a good gaming laptop, shell out more than 1 lakh. The onboard graphics on this is roughly as powerful as a GeForce GTX 765m SLI, a GPU that was released in 2013. If you’re playing games from that era, you can play them at 1080p at high settings. Don’t expect today’s games to run well.

v.) I have found no problems such as poor sound quality (I use earphones most of the time), battery draining quickly etc. After cashback, I got this laptop for Rs. 43,690.5 .

vi.) The build quality isn’t very strong. So, use the laptop with care. Be gentle when opening and closing the lid. Place the laptop inside a bag when not in use. Otherwise, constant rough use can damage the shell.

Edit (15-Nov-23): After a year of heavy use, the LCD cover, bezel (the strip around the monitor) and the back case got damaged. I didn’t drop the laptop. Just heavy use. At first, I only saw the damage on the first two components. I registered a complaint with Lenovo online. They sent an engineer and replaced those two components under warranty (no extra charge). However, the damage on the third component is something I only observed when the engineer who came to my house for repairs showed it to me. I asked him to contact Lenovo and send the third part too but they said they won’t cover it under warranty. I think if I found it the first time around they would have sent all 3 components. Anyway, overall I’m still happy for now. The back case isn’t much of a problem for now once the screws are placed in. It just looks like a crack.

Processor and handling everything good.But display only not good
