then check @ resellers, because i think it should be less priced than XPS.
Generally, Dell XPS series is costlier than inspiron series.

Any idea about the prices of these two versions of EEE PCs ? They look quite cheap abroad.

^^if u call dell. and discuss with them abt this config then u can bargain. it is easy to shave of most of the taxes if u say it is for personal use. call dell few times. talk to different call centre ppl at dell. and bargain easy to knock off atleast 3-4k

I just now bought a dv 6910TX.it simply rocks!!!..IMO, HP is better in India than DELL....if u dont want vista, buy some other lappy . U'll save some money atleast.....But if u r not goin to experiment with ur installed OS and hardware, i strongly recommend HP DV6910TX......

also forget to say...i got a 8.2MP digicam free with my lappy.....although it's not still in my hands...HP says it will take 6 weeks to reach me.......So my effective cost is only 41K......i think the offer is over...u r bit unlucky....had u posted little early, i would hav told u...

Hi guys,

I bought a hpdv6700 special edition notebook a week back. I have some queries about it, though they appear long, I tried my best to explain my questions in detail, I request you to answer them -

1) Do I need to charge my laptop for the first time for __ number of hours ??. I charged it initially for a couple of hours, I saw that its 95% charged. Then I unplugged it and started using it, and within 30mins, I saw the charge comedown to 80-85%...is that normal?..For how long will a 6 cell battery give power backup? ..I request you to provide some clear information on battery backup and charging.

2) Hard disk size is 250gb. But I see two drives here named localdisk(C) - 220 GB and HP_RECOVERY- 12 GB. So where is the other 18 GB??...I am sorry if my question is too naive but this is the first time I am using a harddrive of this big size with vista installed on it, so please tell me if that is how it is supposed to be.

3) Out of the 220 GB of Localdisk (C), around 55GB is already filled with vista and HP related stuff. But when I check the individual files, they do not occupy more than 25GB!!..is that because of some hidden files or something that ivent counted while checking???...how much space does vista occupy?..also the HP_RECOVERY drive is almost full. So out of 250 GB is my effective usage only around 170 GB ????.

4) I see a remote control holder kind of a plug point on the right, but I fail to understand how to place the remote properly there, coz when i try putting it inside I am unable to take it out easily. Is it for remote actually or is it for something else??..

Please answer these questions as soon as possible .

Its been only on 2 charges till now but it doesnt last more than 2:30 mins. Can someone tell me how i can purchase a battery for this that lasts more than 3-4 hrs.

Hi William,

Regarding your first query, I think this is normal to have the battery charge reduced to 80% after 30 minutes of use....Rest of the questions...sorry...

Have a nice day...

hey guys!
help me in purchasing a laptop.
i want buy a hasslefree laptop, which'd not get attacked by viruses blah blah blah
my bf is insisting me to buy a Apple Mac mini, he says this laptop is immune to virus. he said that even if a virus is opened, it cant affect my files.
is it true?

 

[ThinkFree]

^^Mention your budget.
Linux is immune to virus, you can use that on any laptop. No need to buy a costly mac if you just want immunity from viruses.
