Hi guys, my budget is real low, and I need a laptop as cheap as possible.

Even a 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, CD-RW/DVD Combo will do, only for study/browse purpose. No heavy application to run.

But the brand should atleast have some value, so that if there is a hardware problem I can find a service center atleast. Coz cheaper ones tend to have more problems i guess.

Local dealer says there is lowerst of Compaq @ 27000, and lowest of lenovo is 285000. I have no idea about Acer, are they cheaper and will work ok?
