Hey Guys,
I am planning on buying a portable machine for mobile entertainment.
My Basic Uses :
1.Browsing Email Chatting
2.Watching TV Shows (Prison Break : House : Supernatural : Bones etc) --- 1st USE
3.Transferring data b/w me and my friends' machines. ---2ND USE
4.Basic Programming using DevC++ or MS Visual C# (free version) at best.
5.LOADS AND LOADS of downloading. (my desktop is on 24/7 (except powercuts)) --- 3RD USE
I considered the following models :
1. Acer Aspire One -- Costs 19 - 22K (linux version)
2. ASUS EEPC 1000H -- Costs 26.6 K
3. MSI Wind U100 -- Still looking for dealer in bangalore -- know for awesome battery life but low build quality.
4. Dell Vostro A860 -- Costs 28,800
5. LG ED500-L.ADM3A2 -- Costs 30 K (best config i could find for my budget)
the max i can spend is 30K+4%vat. anything going above that will be beyond my reach.
I have heard of Lenovo S10 and some other netbooks but i dont think any of them are available in India.
Please help me choose one here or if you have a better option i would be grateful for it.....thanks
