@manshahia

1st of all wht is ur budget n wht do u mean by study purpose - for programming, graphics or MS Office?

U shud go 4 a laptop wit 512 MB Ram (though 256 wud b sufficient but if u r planning to use XP, 512 is a safe bet to some extent) atleast 1.5ghz processor, wifi, preferably get a centrino sys.

Ur budget is too varying.. 30-70K. Can u specify how much r u willing to pay? For 65-70k u wil get almost top of d line laptop wit Vista capability. Whereas for 30k u wil get bare minimum.

If u want a laptop for videos, music, games, etc. as well, it shud cost arnd 50-55k.

For ur presentation requirements, a laptop of arnd 40k shud b more den enuf. Compaq has d best ones n most of dem r listed on their site. Chk it out...

@anandf: the performance and quality of the tv tuner from techcom may not be spectacular, but at a 1.4k price we are talking about a neat feature that will enable you to watch TV on the laptop. If you want sharp picture quality and intend to record from live television or timeshift, getting a better tv tuner would be advisable. That would also stretch your budget to the 3.5k mark and above. In that range you have all possible options from Compro, Pixelview and Pinnacle - all of these even offer the FM feature. Now you know your options, make the best choice for your needs.

@evil maverick: If you are really interested in a gaming notebook in a sub 70k budget, you will have to compromise on the brand value. No configuration offered by manufacturers in mainstream 70k budget is suitable for gaming. Go7300/7400, ATI X1300/X1400 are good for casual gaming and running Aero on Vista and that is just about it. Get in touch with ACI or Redington India distributors in your area. ACI offers Matrix 1500 notebook based on T7200, X1600 256MB, 1GB System RAM and the other usual stuff for 70k. Redington India deal in the Verified by Intel laptops on Intel's behalf. You can get the same X1600 256MB GPU, a core duo T2300E CPU, 512x2 MB RAM on the S96J barebone (built by ASUS) for 55k. Both notebooks come with 1 year warranties and make good gaming systems. Google for S96J reviews, ACI Matrix 1500 is based on S96J barebone itself.

I am goingto buy dell inspiron 6400 but I am confused while selecting the graphics card.

which card should I select
1. ATI Radeon X1400 with hypermemory
2. nVidia GeForce Go 7300 with TurboCache.

Both cards have 256 MB dedicated memory.

please help me in selection.
I will use this lappy mainly to do the office work. But I want it to play modern games also.

 

[Sourabh]

X1400 is better and cheaper too, go with it.

I want to buy laptop which is Vista enabled. Want also Aero effect to be supported. Please help me in this regard. Is HP-Compaq Presario V3137TU Notebook PC meets my requirements?

Awaiting for reply.

 

[Akshay]

@mutant

U will need a powerful laptop given d features u want to use. So go for a laptop wit atleast 1GB RAM (upgrade if 512 is already given), core2duo processor, graphics card (nvidia preferable).

For HP/Compaq Sys, go thru: *h20219.www2.hp.com/services/cache/384863-0-0-101-121.html

As well chk dis page: *h50011.www5.hp.com/vista/in/index.asp

3137TU - It will run Vista but regarding Aero feature, I cant definitely say dat it will run smoothly. But u must upgrade 3137TU to atleast 1GB Ram.

U can also go 4 Dell sys. which r vista compatible. Chk it at dell.co.in.

Look no further, Dell Inspiron 6400 is for you. Configure and suit your needs, stock config should do just fine. *dellstoreroa.sg.dell.com/public/default.jsp?c=in&s=bsd&l=en&prd_id=40396
