any good dealers for buying 6114\2117 in chennai ?

 

[soumya.shanker]

Okay, I'm looking for a laptop in the 45000-50000 range.

I'll primarily be using the laptop for
1. LAN gaming. Nothing too extreme as far as games is concerned, I'll be happy if the new games run smoothly, with medium graphics....dont need all the bells and whistles activated.
2. Music - Pretty much throughout the day, dont need good laptop speakers, just a sound card which will give decent output on my headphones/speakers
3. Networking - I am connected to the LAN 10-12 hours a day, and am a pretty heavy internet user.
4. Battery life - Anything will be an improvement after my present Acer. I'll be happy with around 2 hours.

The HP Pavilion series looks ideal, but all my friends who have bought it complain of physical problems, eg: keys breaking off, CD drives not working. Do all HP's have this problem?

My comp guy suggested the Lenovo 3000 N100 0768A35. This got a pretty low score in the C-net reviews, plus it doesnt seem to have much gaming capability. Any views on this notebook?

A final question, is it worth shelling out money to change the screen of my current ACER ASpire 3002 NLC, running on an AMD sempron, which is slow and cranky, and has already lasted me 2 years. I have the usual "vertical lines on LCD" problem, and need to replace it.
Here's hoping for some good recommendations......

@soumya

I guess Lenovo N100 has celeron processor n considering ur needs, its a definite no-no.

Chk d Lenovo A-39/A-35 laptops. One of dem has a core2duo processor wit 512RAM, dvd writer, 15.4", Bluetooth, wifi, etc. It wil cost u arnd 47.5K

If u can extend ur budget to Rs.56k, Lenovo Y100 wud b d best deal. It comes wit a tv tuner card w/remote, dolby system, etc...

HP doesnt hav d prbs u hav mentioned. Such prbs r rarity wit HP.

How much is d dealer quoting 4 new LCD screen?

Won't find one for sale in India. G1 laptop means serious business with a high-end config like that and still priced less than $2k. They sell like hot cakes even in US. It has to be pre-ordered accompanied by a considerably long wait. ASUS doesn't have much of a presence in India for their notebooks, neither for AsMobile (Built on ASUS), nor Ensembles (which don't offer any customisation, comes with a standard config)

So, getting it from abroad is the only option.

Re: Geforce

Dell Inspiron 9400
-> With Ati X1400 = 70k
-> with Gefore7900GS = 80k
As per the Notebookreview.com graphics card comparison, AtiX1400 and Gefore7400 has comparable performance. Not sure though. [*forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=39568]

[skrbhatt]

guys, i was thinking of buying a general purpose laptop.I do play games, but need not at high res.
I am thinking of dell inspiron 6400.
I have a few doubts.i can add another 5k to make the total 65k.what should i buy?
processor: 1.8 core2 to 2ghz core2.
RAM: 512 to 1 gb
or the gfx card.
Which do you think is the most appropriate?the proc?

 

[hailgautam]

@skarbhatt, you can add a graphics card to your dell 6400, it will run the games. Ram you can upgrade later, processor and graphics can't.

I want to buy a laptop for home use in the price range of 30k-35k. i use mostly for surfing, office program and some movie viewing. i have shortlisted 1.Lenovo Y500 77611AQ
2.Compaq Presario C301TU

Whats the general opinion regarding LG Notebooks? what other models of HP/Compaq/Acer can I consider. Please give ur user experience. all suggestions would be welcome. also i want to know whether the lenovo model comes with a TV tuner card or I have to buy it separately?
