Well.. Is this the correct place to ask for one? Reviews? I dont know..

Anyways, that sounds like a hot deal. I also came to knoe about it recently.

ohkkk....sorry for posting such a question here...so if u need a review that is then go over to this link......
*www.techtree.com/India/Reviews/Zenith_Director_Plus_Ultra/551-97098-616.html

but in the review they've mentioned that its got 1 gb ram and 160gb HDD which is wrong and its actually got 4gb RAM! and 320 GB HDD!!
and now if someone could tell me anything more on this laptop and the exact price(inc. taxes) ?? Is there an option of not getting original windows...coz then it could be cheaper by 3k...
The techtree site says the price is 40k and this one *answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081223200952AAihOPD
says that its for 36k!!

They have shops all around mumbai. See in their website. Just ring them up and satisfy your queries.

@abhisheksohal

Prices maybe cheaper on the street. Also, these laptops dont have a tap on the specifications. So the model reviewed may have had only 1GB RAM.

 

[abhisheksohal]

i've checked the zenith site and there too its mentioned that its got 4gb ram! and 320 gb HDD!! but i wanna know if zenith is a reliable company or not...coz u know its an Indian brand...so thats why i am also lukin into lenovo 3000 G430a with geforce 9300M GS..but this zenith one has got much better config. and also a geforce 9600M GS which would be way better than 9300...thats why i am confused b/w what to choose..plz help me out...i dont want to compromise on reliability..

As far as laptops are concerned, MNCs rule the roost.

in the review it says:

"Heats up quite a bit"

its quite a prblm for a Notebook owner... this heating thingy blew up ma notebooks mobo

 

[abhisheksohal]

Im not concerned about the heating etc. ..all im concerned is about performance..and reliabilty of parts etc. for cooling i can obv. use a cooling pad..

 

[azaad_shri75]

nah, dont go for it, its old dual core, thats not any steal price,

 

[abhisheksohal]

@azaad_shri75
What world do u live in!?? Intel T5800 is an old dual core?!?!??! Its one of the latest from Intel...i think its under the Centrino 2 range of processors...
And i enquired Zenith showroom in Chandigarh and the price of this laptop is 38k(incl. tax)...if one doesn opt for genuine vista business...its definitely a steal at that price...compared to the features its got...

 

[azaad_shri75]

its showing T 3200 and written pentium dual core,


ok I am sorry I did not see the Ultra, You are right.

simple example

650VA Mercury UPS costs 1000 bucks less than APC UPS and is thinner and looks better too. But it's crap.

In Indian brands, I prefer HCL over Zenith. Their laptop lineup is much more matured and their support team are much more technical.

I am also looking to buy this lappy. Shud i go xps m 1530 instead? All i want is a gud gpu.

 

[IronManForever]

^ If money is not an issue, don't just go for xps m1530, JUMP for it!!

 

[abhisheksohal]

yeah XPS 1530 would be best if budget is not an issue...coz if u configure it with the same config. as this zenith laptop ,the xps would come out to be priced at more than 60k...and this one is for around 40k...

 

[prakash.gourav]

Yeah, money is not an issue. Actually i was considering hp dv5-1015tx but i was unable to find it even at 1 shop.
The only thing holding me back of xps is that it has a buggy gpu.
Wel, now i dont hav a choice. Shud i buy from dell online or do u people think a local store can have it at a cheaper price?
Also i read sumwhere if one call dell & bargain they might take off some taxes.(unbelievable) Is it true?

 

[desiibond]

before that, check with HP. They have dv5 series models with 9600M GT graphics chip.

 

[tarey_g]

^^ which go 50k+

 

[desiibond]

^^ yes. budget isn't a constraint here. and xps too costs 50k+ if i am correct.
