less cost decent features laptop

acer is the only option i think... other wise if u can find gigabyte they can be in that budget...

any other members who can shed some light on this

Can you really get a laptop in that budget?

i guess the minimum u gotta shell out is 28k + tax. acer is tried and trusted. but i think other than that the only other option is sahara. but since its a new entrant in the market the reliability is the question!

Another vote for Acer. Nothing really beats an Acer for their agressive pricing and budget notebooks in India. Acer is not as bad it sounds or people make out to be. I know 5 people using a budget Acer notebook including myself and have no issues with it. It is a decent buy for budget notebooks, and budget notebooks don't mean cheaply built notebooks. The hardware which it comprised of is cheap and nothing significant but it gets the work done.

You should check out the Celeron 4xx based Aspire 3682NWXCi. It would be the sub 30k notebook currently.

U shd consider sahara lappys

What is the cost of the ultra small Sony VAIO, the one which is around 10 inches wide diagonally? And how much does the sliding VAIO cost?

thanx sourabh ....

the smaller scren lappy like 12" and 10" costs more than 17"...

the latest hp-compaq series also look really cool ...

but being cool and being sub 28k are two different things mav

@krazy the vaio tablet pc u r talking abt is more than 80k

what about the HP Compaq M2000 (my cousin bought it for 31+k 2 years ago).

has WiFi, card readers, CD/DVD combo (CD writer)...

they are officially discontinued by HP, but you may still find it in showrooms, todays rate maybe under 29k

i guess il hv to survey the market ... tedious job

i saw hcl laptop ad today in the newspaper. their range starts from 27k + taxes.

how often do u need to change the laptop for ur employee... if every year then HCL is a better choice
