Cheap as in how cheap? Post your budget for the laptop.

I don't consider Zenith a very reliable brand for lappies. Thats a personal opinion. I personally will not take a Zenith.

Look for something from Dell or HP. Sony is nice, but 12.1" is more than double your budget.

When I took my lappy sometime back, I had a look at 12.1" models. I found the character sizes too small to read :( So chose a little bigger one. Ensure that you have a demo of 12.1" before you buy.

Best option around your budget is the Dell XPS 1210. Would have to extend your budget to 60k for the default config from www.dell.co.in . I am not aware of any other cheaper 12.1" notebook.

But honestly atleast a dvd writer and go7400 is a bare necessity in a laptop if its purchased now. Doesnt make much sense if its not able to run Vista in its full glory.
