I need a laptop mainly for programming and development purpose and will mostly play COD4 on it. Currently zeroed in on ASUS F80S. Any other laptop available in the same price range with better performance? Who is the official ASUS dealer in Nehru Place?

Please help me out guys!

Me wanted the same but now learnt here at the forum itself that Ati GPU has problem with Linux so now I'll have to look for G4saurus Defectus way.

Dell studio around 49k.

Del Inspir.... 1525 form 40k--45k.

If you will play COD than don't look for mini ones.

I'll be going for Zenith Director Ultra Plus, probably will cost 43K with tax and all, got 512MB 9600GSM dedicated, and all the usual shebang, Mini one is for my sister, needs it for general everyday computing like Browsing, movies, music and office apps.

Check out the Zenith's review here on the site itself, it beats Compaq one hands down.

LOL, yeah with 9600GSO it certainly beats it down. as it has just 9200G gfx card. I will say the zenith one is reasonalbe buy. The build quiality of zenith was not good about earlier, havent seen a zenith model recently. But yeah specs provided with the money are very very eye catching, one of my friends bought a zenith 2GHz C2D laptop in about 26K

Zenith is a cheap brand. But you can ask anyone who owns it and can tell us better about the reliability and service of Zenith.
