Apple MacBook Pro or MacBook? OS X is good for students and maybe for Arch studs. MBP starts $2k so might be out of her budget. MacBook starts from $1,100.

Get from Singapore. The price is going to cheaper than in India by atleast 5%. All Apple Macs come with International Warranty for a year (you can extend ot 3 years if you pay for Apple Care).


If you're into Windows only, then Dell XPS M1530. I think the Santa Rosa walla costs Rs 64k here.

Apple gives International Warranty (no need to pay extra) for a year (can be extended). Not sure about other brands. My Mac was shipped from USA and I've confirmed with my local Chennai Apple dealer that he will replace/service the Mac without charging, should there be any issue.


Your budget is in the higher side, so suggested Mac. Also girls tend to like Apple/Sony because of the design. But if you want Windows, then go for Dell XPS. At 64k (should be cheaper in Singapore) is a good buy and it looks good. Talk to your local Dell guy and confirm if you can ship the lappy from outside India.

Just want to inform you all:

forget the Compaq Pressario V702 and go for the F733AU notebook instead by paying just Rs. 3k extra. It has an additional 512 mb ram, an Athlon X2 1.9GHz*2 instead of a crappy Celeron 1.8GHz, 40GB extra HDD, Nvidia GeForce Go 7000M instead of GMA X3100 and hence a much sweeter deal if you are looking at the value segment.
