if it is just one month old, reduce the depreciation of 20-25% of the purchase/current price of the laptop.

But...he can also consider a brand new Acer 4720 or HP pavilion machine with similar or better config for the same price (or lesser)

 

[gary4gar]

Thanks, he has decided against it.

buying a new machine is a better choice

 

[prabhatmohit]

How are Dell laptops as compared in HP n Acer and what about service and support?

 

[gary4gar]

Dell are good VFM machines.
Support is done on Phone & service at your house.
now dell has also opened its retail stores

 

[prabhatmohit]

Ok then what abt HP n Acer?

 

[choicefreedom2000]

is there any laptop that support additional display like mouse and keyboard
i know we can use UDB mouse and keyboard for faster usage but i want a big lCD screen attached to laptop for larger view
is there any?

@kunaltech:

You can ask your friend to buy Acer 4720 which comes with Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, nVIDIA graphics etc. Might have to stretch the budget a bit (maybe by 2k)

Or check out the Compaq v37xx series
