Hey guys....

I want to buy a laptop asap. After some market research I've been able to narrow down my choice to 2 models.

Dell Inspiron 510m (56k)
Samsung NotePC P-28 Eco (69k)

Dell is offering a 1-yr warranty, while Samsung is offering a 3 year one.

Here is the configuration of the machines....

Samsung
--------------
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 715
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
ATI Chipset
ATI Graphics 32MB
14.1" (35.8cm)
256MB DDR RAM
Norton AntiVirus
802.11b, LAN, Modem
IEEE 1394, 4USB 2.0
6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Samsung stylish Carry bag
3 Years Samsung standard warranty

This is worth 69k

Dell
----------
Intel® Pentium® M processor 725 (1.6 GHz, 2MB Cache, 400 MHz FSB)
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition
Intel® 855GME chipset
256MB 333Mhz PC2700 DDR SDRAM
Integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics up to 64MB of shared memory
30GB HDD
DVD-Combo
38.1 cm XGA TFT Display (1024 X 768res)
Integrated 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Intel® Pro Wireless 2100 Network Card - 802.11b

This is worth 56k

There is no major difference apart from 3 year warranty. Plz tell which one I should go for? I'm a final year engg student aspiring for IIMs. Got my interviews in Feb and march. So I want the laptop to survive till I complete my MBA...

If there is some better option available then plz suggest. My limit is 70k, absolute cutoff!!!

Thanx in anticipation...

DELL 510m(as specified earlier) and Compaq Presario 2250AL. which of these will be better buy. i intend to use it for programming, web browsing, word stuff and a bit of gaming(not much). also i have a qns in my mind. should i wait till budget is declared bcoz i dont have an urgent need for it.
so whether waiting till budget will be a good option???

DELL
compaq suc IMO
waiting for budget is a good idea

yep wait 4 the budget...in the past few years, prices have always fallen after the budget...but dell is probably the best choice...
