Hello!
I want to buy a laptop and my budget is about on lac rupees. I hope and expect it's quite generous.
I will primarily be using Adobe Photoshop CS2, 3DSMAX and other such graphics editing and 3D rendering programs. I want a good large screen and upgradeable RAM.
Is the Acer Aspire 9800 launched? If yes, what is the approximate price? If no, by when is it expected to hit Indian shores? Is it recommended?
Which are the laptops I should consider and what are the advantages and drawbacks?
I hope I been very clear in my query.
Thanks! :)

Post Script: Sorry for the wierd topic title! I just wanted it to be a bit funny. :lol:

Please suggest some good options from other companies then!

What is this? Why is there such a poor response. This is the first time I am not getting any help on the DIGIT Forum.

My choice: HP/Compaq. Vaio's r gud but I somehow dont like them..
B4 buying dell confirm the exact prices incl. of all charges.

U can also get amazing sys from dell by checking out for incredible offers at *www.edealinfo.com. Considering wht discounts dey offer, u can afford to pay in case u dont get warranty here...
