@~Phenom~

Ya. In bright sunlight, it is a bit difficult to read. You have to weigh how much u use indoor and how much u use outdoor. I hardly use it 10% or even lesser in the car. So more than 90% indoors only. So I chose TruLife. U cannot have the best of both worlds. U have to choose that or this. In indoors without TruLife, there is no life only in the screen. That's why the name I guess. I havent experienced any glare unless there is some direct sunlight coming from a window behind. Cos the screen is a little glossy with TruLife.

I chose 3 yr complete cover. It costed only 5.5k extra. Initially he said 7k, then suddenly he reduced the price after I said I've already bought a laptop from Dell. If you say you want the 3 yr complete cover for 5k and just keep off the phone saying, if you can provide me at that price, call me back, definitely you'll get a deal. They'll be behind you to complete the sale. Instead of being desparate to buy a laptop, let him be desparate to make you a sale.

Color is completely personal choice. My sister chose Pink. Don't go for Alpine White, very prone to scratches. I personally like Black or Blue.

Hi, I am planning to buy dell inspiron 1520.
Well, I have decided to wait till diwali, please tell me if its a wise decision? Is there any possibility that prices may go up that time ??? Because I am thinking that prices will go down but if went high I will be screwed up.
I have decided following config:
Intel C2D T7250 2.0 GHz
Vista Home premium
3 Year Complete Cover
15.4" widescreen WXGA 1280*800 display with truelife
2 GB RAM
Integrated sound blaster audigy advanced HD audio software
Nvidia 8600 GT 256 MB
160 GB SATA HDD
8x DVD writer
Ruby Red color
9 cell battery

I am getting this config in 67 K , is it a fair deal ??
is my config good enough ??
Also , I am bit confused about battery, 9 cell does not fit in completely and look bad but gives extra backup. So which one should I go for ??? Also , what is the battery back up time of 6 cell and 9 cell ???

Now , about color I am confused between Ruby Red , Jet Black and midnight blue. I dont know how they will look in real coz u dont get complete idea from pics in advetisements. Any suggestions ???

^^ seems to be ok, and if not interested in 9 cell battery you can opt for spare 6 cell one for few extra bucks.

 

[deepakchan]

if you are not going to use it extensively on the move, then it is not advisable to get a 9 cell, there is a considerable weight difference between the 6 and 9 cell batteries and will add to the already heavy 1520. for normal usage 6 cell will give 2-3 hours backup based on the apps used. for 9 cell it is 3.5-4.5 hours.

 

[~Phenom~]

Thanx for replies guys , I have decided to go for 9 cell.

I have been following Asus-Tek's EEE PC for a long time.

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eee_pc

1. It comes bundled with Xandros, but I prefer ubuntu. It lacks a cd drive. do you think I may be able to install ubuntu in it?

2. Do you think it can make a good light weight notebook?

3. I was originally saving up for an iPod Video(to upgrade from my transcend T Sonic 610). But now, I feel The Asus EEE PC will make a better investment, seeing they ar both similarly priced, and I lack a notebook. Is eee pc worth it?

I've spent horrible sleepless nights while trying to convert my Laptop's (Compaq 3225) OS from Vista to XP.

Drivers are either not available or not working after hours of downloading!

hp/compaq is more concerned about newer products,they ignore old lappies or give useless weblinks for downloads!

Some people suggested few 'hardware experts' doing this,With lot of doubts I met people from 'tndsystems.com' in Chennai!

Thank God! They really helped me and now I have my 3225 with XP working great! Eventhough it looks expensive but worth trying it!

XP is far better than Vista! No doubt!
