Apple MacBook Pro or MacBook? OS X is good for students and maybe for Arch studs. MBP starts $2k so might be out of her budget. MacBook starts from $1,100.

Get from Singapore. The price is going to cheaper than in India by atleast 5%. All Apple Macs come with International Warranty for a year (you can extend ot 3 years if you pay for Apple Care).


If you're into Windows only, then Dell XPS M1530. I think the Santa Rosa walla costs Rs 64k here.

Apple gives International Warranty (no need to pay extra) for a year (can be extended). Not sure about other brands. My Mac was shipped from USA and I've confirmed with my local Chennai Apple dealer that he will replace/service the Mac without charging, should there be any issue.


Your budget is in the higher side, so suggested Mac. Also girls tend to like Apple/Sony because of the design. But if you want Windows, then go for Dell XPS. At 64k (should be cheaper in Singapore) is a good buy and it looks good. Talk to your local Dell guy and confirm if you can ship the lappy from outside India.

pathik is right. For 60 grands Dell XPS is the best bet. Get a big screened one as you watch movies.

Just want to inform you all:

forget the Compaq Pressario V702 and go for the F733AU notebook instead by paying just Rs. 3k extra. It has an additional 512 mb ram, an Athlon X2 1.9GHz*2 instead of a crappy Celeron 1.8GHz, 40GB extra HDD, Nvidia GeForce Go 7000M instead of GMA X3100 and hence a much sweeter deal if you are looking at the value segment.
