Configure Dell Inspiron 6400 as per your needs from Dell India. Alternatively you can also check out HP's dv5100 offering. Haven't come across Toshiba's core duo laptops in India and are quite over priced for what they offer. If you want reliability you can go with the Dell's Latitude series.

As for the analogue tv tuner, I suggest getting a USB 2.0 based Tv tuner from Pinnacle or Compro. Express Card based tv tuners have only just hit the US markets in some notebooks. Would take a long time for them to make an appearance here in India. You can check out the Pinnacle 100e, I am using it currently and its quite nice. But its a little costly for around 5k due to the bundled Pinnacle MediaCentre proggy (very resource hungry - makes my laptop crawl)

I want to buy a laptop and my budget is about one lac rupees. I hope and expect it's quite generous.
I will primarily be using Adobe Photoshop CS2, 3DSMAX and other such graphics editing and 3D rendering programs. I want a good large screen and upgradeable RAM.
Is the Acer Aspire 9800 launched? If yes, what is the approximate price? If no, by when is it expected to hit Indian shores? Is it recommended?
Which are the laptops I should consider and what are the advantages and drawbacks?
I hope I been very clear in my query.
Thanks! :)

P.S. - Please post a reply in this thread:

In india u will hardly find laptops with standard 1gb ram. U will have to install another 512mb ram for it. I will suggest that u go for HP nx/dv series laptops. With ur requirements, it shud cost u arnd 60-65k (these ones come with Geforce graphics card, 512ram, wifi, etc.) U will have to spend arnd 2.5k for additional ram.

Dell is a gud option but still I wud suggest u go for HP/Compaq.

Wudnt recommend acer.. try compaq sys in dat range dey r gr8. Even if u have to listen to some music, acer comes with some sidey spkrs whereas with compaq u get altec lansing. Dat does make a difference though not dat much. For display, build quality, etc. I'll recommend compaq.

U can also try Dell at *www.dell.co.in. But confirm the end price b4 u buy dell sys...
