my notebook was preloaded with win7 32 bit, as elsewhere it was said that same key could be used for 64 bit, so i asked for it, at present am not able to use all 4 gb ram..........from whence the question of purse came?:

 

[codename_romeo]

apart from when windows come preloaded on desktops and laptops, i dont remember seeing many fellowmates who give a penny from their purse to mr.gates, thats where purse came from. anyways i am not sure whther you have same serial for 32 bit and 64 bit or not, but then you can definitely install windows home premium using that key. If you are interested i would gladly pm you the link to home premium 64 bit iso...... from microsoft website......

Since HP's India site is not updated, I can't comment upon the same.

I have Vaio CW26FG and I'm pretty happy with my buy and would suggest you the same. But it contains i5-520 as against i5-540 which you have mentioned, but that won't make a huge difference, just 130MHz of extra clock. Also it contains a 14-inch display as against 15.6. For me that works because I don't like the BIG LOOK of 15.6 and also since I need to move with my laptop.

^^
I would second that. Pretty happy with my sony vaio too..... good value for money

Honestly speaking i dont think either of them are good enough for maya or gaming......
I am no expert on maya but then i am pretty sure you should atleast stick to the studio 15 with i7 proccy..................... others can give you better idea on this

hi guys!
Need to know a few things. I am planning to buy a new laptop budget max 50k.
Right now my choices are Acer Aspire 5740g and Dell studio 15.

Although both computers are nearly the same but the price difference is huge 10k or around.

I've been using a Acer laptop for last 5 years and love my machine, except that I totally resent the company's after sales support (had terrible experiences).

So suggest me is it worth spending extra 10k for dell?

I am getting aspire 5740g for 39500(nehru place) and dell 15 for 49000 (online).

Moreover since my primary usage is 2D designing and 3D modelling- is another model, aspire 5542g any good. Yes I want a decent future proof computer.

Finally, please suggest other models under 50k.

thanks
abhay vir

I would suggest you to also consider Sony VPCEB16FG for Rs. 49,990/- because it contains a BETTER GPU than Dell Studio 15 has to offer. Refer- *www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html
However if you have had issues with service then I suggest not to go with Acer.

Hello people,

I am planning to buy a laptop, my budget is <60,000.
I have actually two laptops in my mind, but i am not able to make up my mind

1. Sony Vaio E series (VPCEB16FG)

*www.sony.co.in/product/vpceb16fg

This has got good graphics card ATI HD 5650 1GB DDR3, but poor CPU (i3 @ 2.13GHz). I also checked the download section for this laptop, drivers are not available. But on the upside it has 15.5' screen with 1920X1080 resolution.

2. Sony Vaio CW series (VPCCW26FG)

*www.sony.co.in/product/vpccw26fg

This has good CPU (i5 upto 2.9GHz) but not so great GPU (nvidia 330M GT). But in the download section for this laptop original drivers are included (Will be handy if i go for OS reinstallation). But compared to the first one it is 10k more, screen is 14inch and resolution is 1600X900.

Please help me in selecting one of these, or suggest any within my budget
