Please suggest a laptop for my father. He is a Development officer in L.I.C. of India. He works mostly on Presentations. His company's limit is of 60,000 on Laptop. If I know that NOKIA 9300 can work with presentations? He has to buy a laptop within the budget of 60,000.

You can always get more warranty. Go for the Dell - it offers better value for money.

Yeah I think so. But my point was that you can get more warranty if you need it. If warranty is that important, then I guess you need to look elsewhere like the IBM. However, the Dell also comes with more RAM and a dedicated graphics card.
