Wipro e.go Aero Ultra Review

Performance 

The notebook runs smoothly and Windows and applications respond well. Boot up time is quick despite the OS being installed on the 2.5-inch hard drive. Compared to the other Ultrabooks with SSDs, the Aero Ultra manages to keep up quite well except for PCMark Vantage, where it dips by quite a bit. 

Not a bad performer

The notebook runs cool and doesn’t heat up too much even when stressed. The internal fans tend to spin quite fast and are audible when watching HD videos but it isn’t too annoying. The internal speakers are quite loud but the quality is not the best as on high volume, there’s a lot of distortion. The keyboard is comfortable to type on but at times the trackpad tends to get in the way. This is not a major issue as I only noticed this a couple of times. The only thing missing is the backlit keys. 

Good set of connectors

Battery Life 

In Battery Eater Pro, the Aero Ultra managed a battery life of 1hr 40min which is pretty average. This should give you about 4hrs of real world usage time. If you’re careful in your usage then you might be able to squeeze a little more out of it but don't expect too much.  

Verdict 

At Rs. 55,000, it’s definitely one of the cheapest Ultrabooks in the market that doesn’t compromise too much on features. The highlights of the e.go Aero Ultra include a rich set of connectors, a 500GB hard drive and a large 14-inch screen. However, it’s hard to recommend this notebook due to the poor build quality as it just doesn’t feel like a 50K notebook. Also, the lack of USB 3.0 may be a deterrent factor for many. Overall, if Wipro had just paid a bit more attention to the build, this would have been a really good option for those on a budget.
