Hi,
I am planning to buy a low-end laptop and have whittled my choices the following three:
1. IBM Thinkpad R51 (2887NQ2) with Celeron-M 1.4 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, 15" screen, Combo drive. Costs about 31000 + taxes
2. Compaq Presario V2374AP with Celeron-M 1.4 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, 15" screen, Combo drive. Costs about 32500 + taxes
3. HP nx6110 with Celeron-M 1.5 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, 15" screen, Combo drive, Wifi & Bluetooth. Costs about 34000 + taxes
My doubts:
1. How much will it cost to upgrade from 256 to 512 MB RAM
2. Will there be a cost reduction if I ask for CD Reader Drive instead of a combo?
3. If I go for options 1 or 2 and plan to get Wifi/Bluetooth later, how much will each cost for the laptop (Wifi through PCMCIA Card, Bluetooth through USB dongle)?
4. The HP laptop has 2 USB ports as per HP site and the Compaq model has 3 USB ports. What about the thinkpad? Could not find info on the net...
Thanks in advance,
Arun
