do you mind free DOS? you can always install W7 later..

If so, the Asus X42F-VX204D is a good deal..
Intel Pentium P6200 processor (Dual core,2.13GHz)
2 GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM
320GB 5400rpm HDD
14" HD LED Screen
6 Cell battery
Free DOS

price is Rs19k..

Acer is ok.I have a 3.5 year old Acer Travelmate 5320.
Yesterday I received (ordered a week ago) for my kid ASUS X53U X013D @ Rs 17,100 from letsbuy.com( free alcatel 3.6 mbps data card)
see picture in notebook under 22K. This is slightly underpowered compared to C350 dual core. but looking good.

Brazos C50 @1.00 ghz dual core + HD 6250M graphic card
2 GB ram
320 Gb HD
DVD15.6" screen full size keyboard etc.
Installed win7 64 bit .Internet is faster compared to desk top and old laptop.

nice info there
but does Asus provide drivers for windows XP? if so then i'm definitely buying this one.

Yes! Asus provided a dvd with drivers ( it says for win 7 64 bit only)
I could not instal the driver cd first.Infact I brought an expert (who set me last time )and it took almost 2 hours. I installed win7 first ,but after 20% asking for "CD rom driver "and was saying could not find in the cd they gave.
Atlast we got it going and at "expansion stage" ,stopped. ( my win7 cd was slightly corrupt) Only a new cd finished the job.
as a last minute rescue,we were about to instal older win Xp and later instal win7. but now working perfectly with win7 ultimate sp1 64 bit.+office 2010 64 bit.
check the pictures I posted in the other thread.

ASUS drivers for win7 is ok (though it says 64 nit only)
I felt drivers were not installed properly and inserted the cd ( did not run.exe again)
from windows experience test- went to componenets -one by one -updated drivers from CD. most said already ok. Graphic card+ audio drivers got updated and now everything looks good.
It will be better when I put 2 GB ram more.:mrgreen:

The review of Asus X Series X53TA-SX096D looks good.
Iam watching it for any price reduction as Core I3/Core I5 sells maximum.
I needed to buy 2 notebooks .One for my daughter and a higher powered one for me.
Some how I have managed Fusion Gpu full size notebook with a starter graphic card with Asus X-53U-X013D at a reasonable price.
Next quest is another powerful laptop.
Eiether Core I5+6 Gb ram+750 HD+ 1 GB radeon DDR5 or Nvidia Gtx 540M with out OS..like that.(say around 30K-35K)
But Iam now impressed with Asus quality and I dont mind buying this Asus quadcore lappy for me...if a price cut beckons ...will hit the button.:mrgreen:

what you say may be true! With Rupee depreciated quite a bit,only existing stocks are sold at current rates,new stocks are priced higher.The same model I bought 10 days ago is Rs 1800 more and same specs 14" screen (not 15.6" I got) is priced still more higher!
Well I need a lot of gadgets man!!
15X and above zoom camera, 32" Lcd TV,22" LCD monitor etc etc
my copying machine is under repair.The moment I fix it...I will be able to print and spend!!:))

Hi there are lots of netbooks at a price that’s far below 23 K. You can buy HP Mini 110 series, Asus 1011, Samsung N100 etc. They all have good configuration which includes Intel Atom processor, 1-2GB of RAM. My friend recently bought an HP Netbook recently, and it runs very smoothly. He is very happy with it. But one word of caution: Always look whats inside a laptop like the processor, RAM, Operating system etc. and don’t look for the price only. All the best.:)

all those are atom based laptops. aka not much vfm considering the amd counterparts beat the atoms to dust in performance.

atom is only good for internet and word processing. games and hd content just breaks its legs.

In case of the processors, I don't think any other brand can beat Intel. It has an excellent history of making smart processors, therefore in case of netbooks also it is sensible to trust the Atom processors.

^^ Welcome to tdf priyanka. Actually your comment is true partially. Yes intel makes terrific processors with unmatched efficiency and IPC. But to blindly buy intel is not a good idea especially in the netbook category.

You've heard of amd's brazos platform right? It uses amd's bobcat cores fused with radeon hd 6310 gpu's having 80 streaming multiprocessors of vliw5 arrangement.

Cpu's like amd E-350 and C-50 are dual cores with radeon gpu (fusion). They beat all types of atom cpu's handsdown even with nvidia ion chipset.

Currently in the netbook category, amd brazos is the unanimous platform to choose.

Have you ever heard about dual core, quad core, 64 bit, Fusion, APU..... Etc..

If you only watch Intel then you might not have heard it.... Its all because AMD that we are able to get multi core processor, VFM laptops, desktop computers........

Its AMD who is more innovative than Intel... AMD is one tenth of the size of Intel but still dares to bring new thing.....

Sorry for offtopic... But can't hold
