he is an army officer, he wants it for general use like ppt and other common uses,

some thing with 2-3 gb ram, 15.4" screen, 250gb hdd,supportive gfx either onboard or separate card,2.0gz c2d cpu would suffice, dvd writer and without vista.

how to bargain with the vendor regarding dell and street shops.

Well,DELL lappys are NOT sold on streets/shops (in directly vendors hands) , either contact DELL thru their site and toll free number at www.dell.co.in or visit a DELL partener shop like Croma, Vijay Sales.. :)

DELL sells its products directly to customers(via their site www.dell.co.in or with their partener shops like Croma or Vijay Sales) with NO vendors/seller shops in b/w the transaction.. :)

no now they are available in shops also, however no customisation option, what ever pre customised piece they have, we have to buy it, in one shop I personally asked for it, he said fixed price no bargain,
any hp models in this range.

^^ ooh is it ?? well thanx for the info..

but wich shops are selling those ?? (in Mumbai) ??? well they must hv actually ordered those lappys from DELL and hence no customisation option available.. :) that can be the only and the ONLY thing.. :) (believe me)...

Well, for HP, u can check out the HP's DV series of lappys.. :)
