[Chirag]

^^
Yea even I agree. The prices have gone up. The config which I own now and got for 56k now its price is coming 62k.

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ 6k jump for the same config is just too much. not justified!!!!

 

[gxsaurav]

[Chirag]

Earlier u were getting 8400gs with 120gb hdd and 1gb ram at 47k. 3k extra for 8600gt. Now you r getting Intel X3100 with 1200gb hdd and 1gb ram at 47k. 3k extra for 8400gs and 7k extra for 8600gt.

Dell gives which company ram?

 

[gxsaurav]

Check via Everest. it can show the manufacturer of the RAM

 

[Pathik]

arey but u can use any ram in ur lappy na?? there are two ram slots and dell gave 1*1gb na?

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah u gotta throw the stock ram. coz its in dual channel mode and both the slots are factory-stuffed!

You sure 6516TX is only 55k. Coz at Vadodara Central the price was 64k but they were selling for 61k..

I m a student and chose laptop according to my needs. Going to boarding school so ipod and tv tuner no use for me. Dell gives bag with every laptop.

yeah I asked a dealer in Delhi couple of days ago and he quoted a price of 55k for it...1-2k discount mil jayega after bargaining...
So I think 53k is a damn good deal for this lappy considering the fact that it is based on Santa Rosa Platform which are costlier as compared to older laptops..

Whats the config that u will get in 53k?

If I add 3rd party RAM, then how much the base price will increse.

Warranty issues . So no such upgrade till the year ends.

 

[Pathik]

^^ nope.. saurabh told me that in most lappies there is no warranty sticker on the ram... so u can replace it without affecting the warranty...
jusst if u have any prob then replace it with the original ram b4 calling the technician..
