hey..............cld ne1 plz tell wat da taxes on a configured dell laptop amount 2?....................i mean, if da total comes 2 around 55k without taxes, wat'll it b with taxes n delivery added?

U wont need to pay any taxes if u give them a declaration while placing the order saying that lappie is not for resale(normally this happens when u place the order confirmation).

I'm planning to buy HP Pavilion 9507 TX by October 25

Here's the specs...

• Intel® Centrino® Core™2 Duo processor T7100 1.8 GHz
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• 2 GB DDR2 (667 MHz)
• 240 GB SATA 5400 RPM (120GB x 2)
• LS SM DVD Writer (+/-R +/-RW) DL,
• NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400GS, 256MB
• 17.0” WXGA HD BrightView 1440 x 900

Will cost me 67K including taxes.

Mianly I'm looking for a 17" (1400x900 or above), around 2GB ~ + and ~ 256MB GFX... as I have heavy-duty works... So far Pavilion 9507 TX seems good...

I checked other options, but couldn't find anything alternative...
If you guys have came across something let me know... Thanks...

PS: HP HDX Series is also here, damn it's 1L+...

What kinda heavy duty work? grafix? If so then don't buy the one with 8400. But something with at least 8600.

I needed to know a couple of things about the Dell 1420:

1. What is the current expected shipping time for Dell Inspiron 1420?

2. Sony has recently announced its NR series of Vaios which are supposed to be in the Budget category but have similar specs to the Dell 1420. Is it worth waiting for the Sony NR series?

3. What is the difference between Dell's Inspiron & Vostro series?

Lastly, I know that resale value of desktops is really low these days. But if I have to sell off my old desktop, is there any place anyone can recommend which can give the best price?

1. What is the current expected shipping time for Dell Inspiron 1420?

The shipping time is around 25 days. It was 18 days when I had ordered. But due to the pink color (its for my sis) and Bluetooth mouse, it got delayed I was told. They have promised delivery on 13th October. Placed the order on 17th September.

2. Sony has recently announced its NR series of Vaios which are supposed to be in the Budget category but have similar specs to the Dell 1420. Is it worth waiting for the Sony NR series?

Will Sony service the laptop at your doorstep? That's the main reason anyone buys a Dell.

3. What is the difference between Dell's Inspiron & Vostro series?

As far as I know, Vostro is the business series and Inspiron is the Multimedia/Entertainment series. No major difference as such.

Hows it?

 

[infra_red_dude]

Everythings fine

Things which could've been better:
1) nvidia 8400 could've been 8600
2) 160GB instead of 120GB
3) at least a 9cell battery instead of 6cell.

Mentioning this as you've got it from the US. Things will surely be cheaper there (due to no import duty).

8400 was the max available for 15". I also wanted 8600
I find it difficult to manage HDD with huge space.....Most of them go a waste in temporary files or forgotten files. I like to have my files in DVDs.
I'll be using it mostly at home or @work with a dock station. So.....

 

[visky]

Everything is perfect except the battery....you should have definitely gone for a 9 cell battery....anyway it is a pretty good config..
How much did it cost you...must be around 50-52k....
