I used the Primebook 2 Pro for 2 weeks. Here's the truth.

At ₹26,999, it's one of the most interesting laptops for students and anyone who mainly needs Docs, Chrome, YouTube, and online classes.

Buy it for:

Premium-looking 14-inch design
Excellent keyboard for long typing
~9 hours of real-world battery life
Decent everyday performance

Skip it if:

You need full Windows desktop apps
Trackpad gestures matter to you
Your workflow depends on niche Android apps

Overall, I'd genuinely keep this on the shortlist if your budget is under ₹30K.

Update🚨

https://t.co/y08LUCTCgT has been shut down.

The reason? Under the Prevention of Corruption Act, the site's host would have to log a complainant's IP address, even if the report is submitted anonymously, so authorities could potentially identify them.

Since giving a bribe is itself a crime, reporting it could harm the person itself.

[Fossbytes @fossbytes14]

Breaking 🚨

India finally has a public bribe registry.

https://t.co/y08LUCTCgT lets people anonymously report bribes they’ve paid to government officials, including the amount, department, role, and work involved.

The data is then mapped by state and department, giving a public snapshot of reported corruption across India.

Name the role.
Name the amount.
Name the department.
