Thanks Lucifier, I'll buy the WD one. I'll also consider the external casing solution as it is definitely more reliable :)

I'm going for WesternDigital. I'll write my experiences with the drive here...

Hi fellas, I'm looking to buy an external hard disk of size 1TB. My budget is upto 6,000 INR. I'm a software developer and I'm going to be storing my data and virtual machine images of Linux on it. So I need a reliable solution which also performs fine (no need for very high transfer rate so...

Well Ashu when I play games (GTA for eg), then I set the battery mode to High Performance. Then I get about 1.5 Hrs of backup. So usually I play games with the charger plugged in. With netbeans and mysql at balanced mode, it gives about 2hrs of backup. Actually in balanced mode I increase the...

Well the opposite happened to what you said. GTA-SA started to get so slow, that I had to reduce the setting to 640x480 to make it run smoothly. Also I had to set the detail level to low :(. I was disappointed by all this :mad:...

Well with Netbeans I use jBoss Application Server and the lappy doesn't get effected by that. I have not yet installed MySQL but it doesn't take much resources. jBoss is a heavy server and takes upto 450MB or RAM. Currently I am using Netbeans 5.5 which is less resource hungry but soon I will...

No yaar I can't forget u. I have tried GTA San Andreas only. It runs ok at medium settings (800x600 medium detail). I am using heavy application like Photoshop and Netbeans (java IDE). The lappy doesn't need a gasp while running them. It runs very smoothly. Thanks IronMan for clearing the...

Thanks for the information IronMan. But still I'm not clear. Should I keep my laptop on charging or charge it only when the battery is below 35% as you said??

I got my Dell Inspiron 1525 4 days ago. I forgot to add a review here. So here it is Configuration: Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz 2GB RAM 160GB HDD 15.1 inch display 8 in one card reader DVD writer 2MP camera Original Windows Vista home premium Wifi and Bluetooth Cost: Rs 37,000 including all charges but...

You received the lappy very late bounda. At least late for me. I was worried about the performance of AMD, I also heard that it gets very hot and I was also worried about the quality of Compaq laptops. So I decided to compromise on the gaming front and ordered for Dell Inspiron 1525. I know that...

Someone told me that if you overclock an AMD, then it will give problems :confused:

But how much did it cost you?? I think your configuration is approximately the same as I am referring to. So if you could tell how much it cost you, I would be thankful...

How much did it cost you?? I contacted my nearest Dell dealer and he said that Inspiron 1525 whose price is given on internet at 35,900 is Rs 42,000. I am doubtful that he is lying. *www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspnnb_1525?c=in&cs=indhs1&l=en&s=dhs here you can...

Thanks Shantanu for sharing the information :razz:. Is the 9100M better than 8200M on the CQ50??

Thanks shantanu for a nice review. Can you please tell a little bit more about your experience with the lappy. Did you try any games on it?? Does it gets hot very fast?? Did you try to do some intense stuff on it like running big applications simultaneously. I would be really thankful if you...

Thanks a lot everyone. I'll better wait for 4-5 days for Bounda's lappy to come to him. I'll read his review. Bounda this is a request to you that if you have any latest games, plz run them on your lappy and post your experience. Thanks again...

Thanks Ashu, Shri and bounda. I have now made my mind not to take Dell 1525. I will most probably go for CQ50 but I will also take your advice Shri and give a visit to the nearest Acer dealer. By the way how is the performance of your Acer shri?? Are you satisfied with it?? My friend is having a...

Thanks ashu again for your help. :p I found these two videos on youtube where they are playing crisis on 8200 *in.youtube.com/watch?v=G1Df6ST7L00&feature=related *in.youtube.com/watch?v=Gir0Fk_PEvA&feature=related I am really inclined back towards CQ50 now. I have dropped the idea...

Today I went to the nearest Dell show room. They told me that I cannot upgrade the graphics card on 1525. Also the price of that laptop with Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM was given on internet as 36k (without taxes) and he told me that it will cost me 41k after taxes :(. There was another variant with...

Sorry to say Ashu but I am still confused. Actually I am going to do some intense work on my laptop. I hv completed my NIIT and I am now a web developer so I will do web development on my Laptop along with some designing on Photosop. The CQ50 I think has a processor in comparison with Pentium D...
