Hey guys....
I want to buy a laptop asap. After some market research I've been able to narrow down my choice to 2 models.
Dell Inspiron 510m (56k)
Samsung NotePC P-28 Eco (69k)
Dell is offering a 1-yr warranty, while Samsung is offering a 3 year one.
Here is the configuration of the machines....
Samsung
--------------
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 715
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
ATI Chipset
ATI Graphics 32MB
14.1" (35.8cm)
256MB DDR RAM
Norton AntiVirus
802.11b, LAN, Modem
IEEE 1394, 4USB 2.0
6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Samsung stylish Carry bag
3 Years Samsung standard warranty
This is worth 69k
Dell
----------
Intel® Pentium® M processor 725 (1.6 GHz, 2MB Cache, 400 MHz FSB)
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition
Intel® 855GME chipset
256MB 333Mhz PC2700 DDR SDRAM
Integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics up to 64MB of shared memory
30GB HDD
DVD-Combo
38.1 cm XGA TFT Display (1024 X 768res)
Integrated 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Intel® Pro Wireless 2100 Network Card - 802.11b
2 USB Ports (2.0)
This is worth 56k
There is no major difference apart from 3 year warranty. Plz tell which one I should go for? I'm a final year engg student aspiring for IIMs. Got my interviews in Feb and march. So I want the laptop to survive till I complete my MBA...
If there is some better option available then plz suggest. My limit is 70k, absolute cutoff!!!
Thanx in anticipation...

regards...
i say go 4 this 1 over the samsung...it costs almost 12k less and will get the job done just as well...if u can spend some more cash, upgrade ur mem coz ur graphix chip will share it and ur hdd coz u will need the space eventually...also c if u can get a better warranty by payin a lil more...never hurts...and if u intend 2 use it on long trips, get a spare battery...and yea, c if dell will give u a wireless card that supports wlan a, b and g instead of just b...or at least b and g...better 2 b future proof...and get urself a memory key since u dont have a floppy drive...

Guys, Dell is offering a 3 years warranty for 26000 
That means the same config will cost me a whooping 57+26=83k with 3 years warranty... Thats too much I think... whats the rational behind charging such a humongous cost.... Maybe just dissuade pep from going for 3 yr....
Anyway, as u all have suggested I'll go for Dell right away. And get the memory and HDD increased to 512 and 40GB respectively... What about a graphics card... Should I get 1? Or can I get it later.... suggestions plz. In any case I dont want the cost to cross 65k
Thanx for the help....

I think IBM would be a good choice..
i am using one ..its a great laptop
Easy to use..keyboard, I just love it.
Although this is my personal opinion.
But everyone knows that IBM Thinkpad is one of the best available laptops.
And i will recommemd one thing that go for IntelCentrino.
It generates less heat.

@buddy
first off ... no caps
caps = screaming
second acer ferraris are too expensive for the performance they give
dell beats the acer ferrari series hands down
just cuz toshiba moanufactures all its parts doesnt make it superior ..tho they are a very good brand
apple/macs are going the wrong way here .. since it'll take a lil while to get used to first off
hp-compaq sux ... and their after sales suck even more
so we agree there
so its like this dell>acer>=toshiba
and sony's are good too ..but again too expensive
ive already commented on this in the previous page
nikhil .. again dude .. anything in dell series in that budget will do
ull have to ask them to upgrade the ram ... most of them come with standard 256 mb ram in india .. i dunno why
and get a 40 gb hdd as someone is doing above
ur laptop will have a modem so u can use dial up there ofcourse
or u can share ur net connection over a lan ... check my guide in hardware discussion for this
