Check out the Compaq Presario V6406TU in the nearest HP outlet at your place. It's fairly new and capable laptop. Most budget laptops still come with 256MB RAM, but this one sports 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD and a DVD Burner. You can even call HP's toll free number and enquire about the nearest dealer. Price is around 27k.

plz avoid the celeron m proc. u can get at least a pentium m proc. that celeron sucks bigtime!!! couple that wid 915 chipset and the rest same. i think u can find a laptop wid this config for around that rate.

 

[Sourabh]

The V6406TU features the latest Celeron M 520 processor. These Celerons have come a long way. The Celeron M 520 for example, tough single core, is based on 65 nm fabrication. It's based on the Merom core similar to the second-generation Core 2 Duo processors. With 1MB L2 cache, 64-bit capability and 533MHz FSB, they are a lot better than the outdated Pentium Ms. Moreover, the new Celeron notebooks like V6406TU also feature GMA950 graphics - which is more or less standard and usually found in 35-40k laptops.

So, I feel V6406TU is a very nice option. What other alternative do you have in a 25-27k budget? Most other laptops from Acer, other Compaqs and likes will only feature some previous generation Celeron 3xx or single core Turions.

oh thats news for me sourabh... the cel m 520 is based on the core architecture... thanks for the piece of info

 

[Sourabh]

It's okay! This is what forums are for.

 

[digit i am thinking]

where can i get Review of Compaq Presario V6406TU.

one more thing is there any small screen(10.4") lappy in 25k?

 

[digit i am thinking]

okay i hav decided to increase the budget to 30 to 32K
So is there any other option other than Compaq Presario V6406TU.

well i found out difficult to get dual core processor in this budget.Do u hav any idea?

how is compaq brand? i mean how is customer care service?
Also how is the battery back up of compaq Presario?
