Hi freinds,
I was about to finalize Dell Inspiron 6000. But these ACER models are tempting me. My budget is <60,000.
1. Acer Aspire 3002Click Here
2. Acer Travelmate 4150. Info not available at ACER website. But the specs are same as that of Dell Inspiron 6000. Anybody using these models? which one should I go for? Aspire comes with AMD 64 Turion M. And Display quality also good I suppose. What about heat issues ?
Plz help me.
Also anybody knows dealer for ACER in Pune?
Please post your comment on performance of all these models.
Should I stick to Dell? Problem is I can't try the model from some shop. I ll have to buy it paying by DD n they will deliver it by courier.

Eh? Dell gives problems? I own a Dell desktop bought in India and a Dell laptop bought in the US and apart frm an HDD failure on the desktop, I haven't faced any problems. Service is prompt as well. I don't know why you would not go for Dell. IBM is overpriced. The Dell Inspiron 6000 is a good buy :D

Hello Nemesis,
Is it possible to get service here in India if we buy the Dell lappy from USA?
