I have seen aci-asia.com but there are no price details.Any other site which has price details?

Your options:

Compaq Presario V6404TU for 27k
Acer Aspire 5310NWXCi for exactly 24k

Both the configs feature similar specs - Celeron M proccys, 512MB RAM, GMA950 graphics, 2-2.5hrs battery life. The Compaq has a DVD Burner drive while the Acer has a Combo drive. Make your choice.

Don't go for Sahara, ACi, etc... Most of them settle for non-Intel chipsets to bring down the cost. Not a nice thing to do in a laptop.

I think i will go for Acer Aspire 5310NWXCi.Whats the present cost of 512Mb RAM? And will i be able to run Vista(with Aero) with 1gb RAM on this lappy?

If you add your own RAM ie not getting upgraded by Acer, you may have warranty probem.

Someone please answer my question.......................

I have stuck a deal with Dell for following config:
AMD X2
512RAM
80GB HDD
15.4" Widescreen
No OS!!!
All this For Rs.29,650 inc tax.
Hows the config?they are asking 2k more for 1gb RAM!

this is the product URL for Zenith director...

Excellent build quality and value for money...

Pentium Dual Core T2080
512 MB DDR2 667 Mhz, 2 GB Max.
Ati Radeon Express 200m graphics chipset
DL DVD Writer
1 Yr On Site/carry in (not sure0 warranty)

The Only CON is OS - Windows Vista Starter Edition

But For Just 24,990, its really a steal
Add up more RAM if u can manage...

I'd say, go, rather JUMP for it...... no better deal

PS: you can give the remaining 10 rs to me for this advice
