I am using a reliance pcmcia data card (Huawei 321). I am buying the new dell xps m1330.It has only an express slot.
Reliance were unhelpful, as usual. They said that I'd have to surrender this pcmcia card and buy a new usb modem and go through the entire process of getting a new connection!
Where can I buy a pcmcia to usb adapter? It should support vista. Thanks

Hey, he would love to go for Apple (even afford upto 55,000) if it runs windows OS.
It would be tough to carry on with MAC there in kolkata.(he works in ibm there)
what do u say.....

 

[aryayush]

Yes, it runs Windows OS just fine. Tell him not to worry.

If he goes to City Centre in Kolkata, he can even see Windows running on a Mac (the only ugly thing in the beautiful store!) and use it for a while to get the feel of it.

 

[rollcage]

oh thats cool .. u are in Kolkata, thanx I will tell him that.
btw I know using a Mac is definitely better, He still wants it
says that he needs it for some programms.

[v3425au]

Hi Guys,

I bought my V3425AU yesterday. Everything working absolutely fine and has an IR port too. NOw interesting thing is my friend has bought DV2401TU and has an IR, interestingly DV2401TU came with a IR remote control which can controll functions of ur notebook like switching ON DVD player and its controls, Vol +/-, power point controlls, shutting down/hybernating the notebook and some more features which you'd ideally like to have in the remote.

When I tried the same remote on V3425AU, Bang; averything works the same. u can operate ur DVD plyr / hybernate and all other features which DV2401 offers thru their remote. I chked with HP/compaq guys they said V3425AU dsnt come with the remote and HP is not selling it separately

Guys can someone please tell me where I can find this remote or if I can order it online? I'd like to have it, especially when I have seen it working.

 

[arunks]

DV2401TU .... which model is this and which company's and what is its price and whats is its configuration?

 

[aryayush]

Umm... I have a budget of Rs. 60,000 (flexible) and I want the most value for money notebook.

Purposes:
1. All forms of entertainment, including games.
2. Programming.

Looks are somewhat important but not overly so. Thank you!


P.S. - Not for myself, of course.

Best Value for Money: Dell Vostro 1500 N-Series Notebook (No Windows OS Bundled)
