This is a laptop, I guess U R confused the 845GV chipset is for Desktop it cann't be incorporated in a Laptop

Belive me, get a dell, will be a lot better, U know what I think, the best config for a laptop which will be more then enough for anything which U wanna fo on laptop, I mean, whats the use of playing games on a laptop, the battry will drain a lot, also if u don't play games on a laptop then a DX 9based gfx card is also not required, infact a low power consuiming part is better

My recomended notebook configuration

Pentium M 1.7 GH, Dothon, 2 MB L2 Cache
Intel 855PM chipset
Centrino Plateform
A Simple FX5200 gfx card or a mobility Radeon 9200 non-pro, this is enough for a laptop
512 MB RAM, DDR333
40 GB HDD, 5400 RPM, best is Seagate momentous, 2.5 Inch, SATA format
15" LCD Screen, high contrast ratio

rest as usual, with integrated Bluetooth, & IrDA

If it's not a moblie AMD64, and were strictly talking about Intel CPU's for laptops, then PENTIUM M is the BEST Choice. Lower power consumption, with more processing capabilties compared to it's over powered cousin P4 with less capabilties.

If Intel was smart, They'd take Pentium M to the next level and leave P4 in the dust.

Hey, like the guys are saying Dell is quite a workhorse of a laptop especiallt the latest hig end one for sale. can't remember the exact but its the series 8200 or something. Its quite robust and will not let you down.

If you want looks, latest technology etc etc i say the sony viao although it is not officially launched in india a good vendor is Gizmo world in delhi and mumbai (i think)

Games -- leave them to the desktop !!! i don't think a laptop config can match up to the high end games.....................it does nnot mean that there arent any but then they are mighty expensive.

 

[rohanbee]

Ok u got the iball grand master................i think this company is based in bangalore or something. Everything of theirs is made in china. I know the company where they are sourcing their cabinets and some other stuff from.

Although their prices seem good but compared to other chinese products these iball ones are placed much much higher as they are being re-packaged and branded thus.

I did get to see their products and must say am impressed with their build quality although about their working quality and service support we will get to know after some time i guess.

Sony vaio has most of its parts from japan and so does dell..............yes certain plastic parts do eventually come from china (like everything else in the world) but then their quality control standards are SKY HIGH.

He he your topic really put me on and your subject OFF.. he he I thought for once you got an ACER FERRARI or The ultimate ... APPLE G4 POWERBOOK....
But your dream turned to be an iball laptop...huh :roll: That too at 50k or something.... Man for some dream laptop budgets starts at 1LAcs on the wrong side.... Hmmm really you seem too satisfied with life.... or are you a day dreamer ....with out imagination ...whatever MAN you are one hapy man.
Peace ....just a joke ...

Laptops

All you guys all Laptops HP,DELL,ACER...etc..,
are made by quanta,wistron and compal.U can get them as whitebooks or in branded with names I mentioned above.These firms
quanta,wistron and compal are known as ODMs.

So guys difference might be in batteries,design and some goodies they offer.

Acer notebooks are made by compal.Dell latitude 800 is made by Compal.
HP by wistron.The list goes on like that.

 

[rohanbee]

Wow that is some news about laptops that i didn't know about !!!

 

[Nemesis]

well...what abt the manufacturing units that these companies have???? what do they manufacture there??? maybe some parts such as casings are made by the companies u mention such as compal.....

 

[rohanbee]

Yup you are right these might just be assembling units. So at the end of the day we cannot say that since so and so company is assembling for all these varied brands that all qualities are the same.

Since i am from a manufacturing/engineering industry i know that that is all BS since a same plant can make a variety of qualities for varying clientle. [/quote]

Intresting that Rohanbee. May we know what manufacturing industry you are related to and some inner working stuff...obviously not amounting to espionage but just some shade principally.
Also i think the quality too depends on the Price one expects from clients regarding the Product. After all even Apple Inc doesnt make all their laptops Scratch proof...Price ruleez after all.!!

 

[nixcraft]

Sure it is not laptop. 845 board ? I will never go for anything other than Dell/IBM/HP. If you are tight on budget go for zenith, acer or Toshiba

Im in the trade of automotive and bicycle components industry. As regards to Price and Quality i don't think they are dependent on one another.
Quality i believe is a very relative term, what you might percieve as high qualty might be low quality for another person. Exp:- You might find the Mercedes a very high quality and highly engineered car in india, however the same is considered to be small and a brand which has the least features in the Us similarly and maybe a different reaction might be for consumers in another country...........

Also i think the quality too depends on the Price one expects from clients regarding the Product. After all even Apple Inc doesnt make all their laptops Scratch proof...Price ruleez after all.!!

In a country like india, Yes price is a governing factor but then how would you explain an anomaly like me, im india's oldest bicycle component manufacturer
my clientle:- Rickshaw pullers, people who depend upon cycle for transportation, These are the most price conscious consumers yet they want to buy my product instead of the components of the big bicycle manufacturers.
Now in this case when you purchase my product you might go in for somebody like Hero which is cheaper too but the average rickshaw puller comes to me for my quality not bothering about the price..
