@sivarap: You should wait for the new Santa Rosa based notebooks to hit the Indian shore. Manufacturers sell notebooks with T7200 with a high premium in India. The T5x00 Core 2 Duos are more common. So, I were you, I won't bother about T7200 in May 2007. Hope you get the point!

I have just ordered the Inspiron 640m notebook from Dell

I am getting it from teh US so it is almost 15K cheaper. What say? ofcourse the warrenty is a risk.

what is the performance difference between 1.6Ghz with 2MB L2cache and 2GHz 4MB L2 cache?
(The price difference is Huge )

 

[Sourabh]

The performance different is not much to warrant the premium costs. If you do plan to get it, get those ASUS machines G1, G2, a8js or similar. They come with T7200, nice GPUs and 2GB RAM. Dells, Lenovos and HPs are too expensive for it on customization.

Just my views!

CAN I go for ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 Hypermemory in mY Dell Laptop for Rs. 4150??

IS IT REALLY WORTH???

@Ganeshkumar

Wht r u going to use Radeon for? If intensive gaming, a definite no-no. For general purpose like movies, etc. it is ok.

 

[Ganeshkumar]

[Akshay]

Shud wrk provided if u have enuf free ram but if u hav a few applications running as well, performance will suffer...

The usual reply in the thread....DELL inspiron 6400 or HP dv6xxx series

 

[azaad_shri75]

^^ I want without pre installed M$ os.

 

[sivarap]

You can choose to get Linux installed....I don't think that will be a problem. But you will not be able to buy online.

 

[azaad_shri75]

^^ thats ok, I want to know the models from other makers as dell , lenovo, hp are costly.
