How does this look?
Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 - 3MB L2, 800FSB, 45nm Penryn
4GB DDR2 RAM
320GB SATA HDD
13.3" Slim & Light WLED screen with 0.3MP webcam; Tuxedo black
nVIDIA 8400m GS with 128MB DDR3
9 Cell battery
DVD writer
Intel Wireless N Card, Bluetooth
Bluetooth Travel Mouse
Bluetooth Wireless Headphones
Fingerprint reader
Card reader
HDMI Port
USB modem
Creative EP-630
Notebook sleeve
3yr complete cover with accidental damage protection (Worldwide)
Windows Vista Home Premium
I chose the highest available component in all the sections.
The only thing I did not configure higher was the processor but I did not waste my money because I know that:
(a) there would be less than 1% difference in performance, unless I do some Graphics or Video editing;
(b) T8300 comes with 90W brick instead of 65W lightweight adapter
(c) and as for the processor models with 6MB cache, price difference is TOO TOO high for a 2% increase in performance (and moreover, the 6MB L2 cache will drain more battery as well, negating the advantage of Penryn over Santa Rosa)
so I chose T8100
I did not opt for the m1530 because I do not play Crysis or similar games which require 8600m GT and to me portability is more important than screen size. I would be taking this abroad and frequently carrying it around.
Got it within 5 days after placing the order. Its an absolute beauty, has stunned me with the performance and looks. I am glad I bought it here through EPP which is the cheapest in the world and comes with worldwide warranty too (I initially had plans to buy it abroad)
The price quoted on the Dell site is Rs. 1,06,961 even today.
Could anything beat that?
