Got this Micromax laptop. Review is based on using it for over a week now.
I had to remove the preinstalled McFee antivirus software since it was using almost 20% RAM and also it consumed a lot of internet usage for online internet security. But I am ok with this since the only purpose of this machine is to connect to Nest and use Excel. No other usage, including web browsing too. Also disabled Windows Auto update feature as it consumes data and eats battery.
Can connect both through wifi - mobile hotspot and internet dongle.
This machine can comfortably run three instances of NEST and two instances of excel (Excel file sizes are around 6 MB, combined). On average it uses around 50% CPU and 60% RAM. I have used link to excel feature from NEST to get RTD data of 8 scrips.
Running all the above the battery backup is 6 hours.
Effective storage is around 15 GB as most (of 32 GB) is consumed by OS and Office 365. But even this much of storage space is quite high for my requirement.
All in all, it meets my requirement and that too at 13k.
