@super_ferrari: I doubt about the reliability of the info provided on that site. First thing, Dell sells through direct selling. No dealer or thirs party can not quote their price, particularly for the upgradations on the basic model which they mention only in the quotation. And I dont think that site has any kinda link with Dell.

Secondly, there are serious flaws in the informations on the very page that u have posted. There is no model called Inspiron510 and Inspiron 700M. Indeed, there is a model called Inspi710M which does not match with the details given for 700M. It is showing the price of Inspi9300 comparable with others. That is hilarious!! :roll: Why anyone then won't go for it when it is giving a dream config?? Its basic price before VAT quoted by Dell is 75K. Visit *www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/featured_notebook5?c=in&l=en&s=bsd

And among other flaws, the most amazing is that that site is mentioning DVD writer with every system except 9300. In fact, it is other way around if you consider the basic config. So my earnest request is that please refrain from using that site, at least for Dell sonfig. I havnt checked for other brands. If you need to know about Dell models visit their site and ask for a quotation.

Adios
Sumit

oops!

Hi,
i hope you guys can help me out. i am looking for a low
priced, value for money laptop. i need it for
presentations and research. i have to go through
multimedia cds and have access to the net daily, if
not constantly. compatibility and connectivity ( net,
MFD printers, projectors, old n near future computers
etc) is important than anything else but the one thing
i need the most from the laptop is reliability.
my budget is only 35 thousand rupees. i was
thinking of a well cooled laptop with a decent DDR2
memory and shock resistant SATA2 HDD with RAID and
good data buffer, and USB 2.0 and IEEE1394. but i
can't find an address for an authorised dealer in
bangalore (wholesale distributor?) with whom i can get
the best bargain.
my plan is to buy a wireless network combo
card adapter and a laptop cooler seperately. i would
be greatful for your advice.
Thanks

lappie for vista

Hi folks,
I'm planning to go in for a lappy in a month and just started searching today.
Here's my requirements.

1. Vista Compatibility(Support for WDDM).
2. 512MB Ram(upgradeable)
3. Briteview / Ultrasharp or whatever they call the BETTER screens (size no
matter)
4. Budget Approx 50k.

Maybe the cheap lappies with a GFX card (bare minimum to support vista).


Pointers plz guys......... :roll:

 

[merawalaid]

dragonlord,
I don't think u'll find a notebooks with a good graphics card eg (ATI Radeon/ GeForce Go) in a budget around 50k IN INDIA. Especially not with new processors like Centrino dual core.
if your budget is about 60-65K, and then you may have a few choices.
You could try this one
Acer TM4602 NWLCi
Intel Centrino 1.73 Ghz, 256 MB DDR Ram, 60 GB Hard Disk,15.4" TFT,Ati Radeon Graphic card 64 MB
DVD Writer ,Lan + Modem etc
cost Rs 53,000
upgurade to 512MB ram +4500
+ tax+handelling +carry bag etc.
Total : Aprox 60K
info:*www.braintoneinfo.com/acer.html

 

[merawalaid]

Has anyone bought a DELL laptop in india from the site www.dell.co.in ?
What are the hidden cost/taxes etc. Do they accept online payment from ICICI bank?

 

[esumitkumar]

I am planning to buy a lappy around 60k

I found numerous models from IBM DeLL and HP which suits my needs

I just want to ask a question about the proccessor .

With this budget i am able to get

Firstly Intel Centrino 750 ie Pentium (M) 1.83 Mhz (533 Mhz) which is the most common processor that is available with all the leading brands

Secondly i came across AMD Turion 1.6 GHz which i found available with HP notebook

Finally the latest & most powerful processor
Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 Ghz (677 Mhz)

But the think is that the CPU speed is varying in all these type of processor. better the processor lesser CPU Speed but higher BUS Speed

Please tell me what do you consider the best among them and why.

[krish]

Anybody.......??????

 

[esumitkumar]

Whats ur budget and requirement ? Like I will use my lappi for gaming and multimedia so grafix card is a must for me....

Tell ur budget and use of lappi then i will look for it..

In above choices I would select Compaq obviously because of ATI

 

[krish]

See right now, price budget is a big consideration. So I want to get the best available in a budget of 35-40 K.

Mine will be used for gaming, applications like Oracle etc, and for the entertainment purpose. I know that for gaming, this is very less budget but can't help it. That's why I wan't the best in this budget.

Compaq appeals more to me too. But will storage be a constarint? As ACER has got DVD writer + 60 GB HDD and compared to compaq which got Combo + 40 GB......

What say esumitkumar ??
