Well the base Dell 1520 with 2 GB RAM and 8400 GM 128 MB DDR2 Grfx will come within 55k all inclusive for sure...

:)

dont go with web site pricing, call them up or visit their nearest retailing counter for best price...

Acer is a trickey choice.
i asked shops in bangalore(SP ROAD) half of them told me that its nice and worth, the rest had a different story, they say that acer does not provide good service accross india when compared to HP or IBM.

but that was about 2 years ago, a lot has changed since then. but after sales services is very important.


for 50K you will get a very nice laptop from compaq, they have good value for money and good ASS( after sales service) :D

Yeah 1420 is the best choice when it comes for a 14" laptop if you ask me.... You can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB and also go for Home Premium if you want and it will come to just a little over 50k.... All this with a 128 MB 8400GS GPU.... I think this will be a good choice....

@infra red dude
the only difference btwn 4710g and 4710 is of a graphics card.
my friend purchased 4710 in just rs 41000 along with a free carry bag. so i m expectin the price of 4710g around 45k. i will enquire abt it today.
@cheeta
no dude dell 1420 in that config is crossin the limits

1. hows C2D T5500 1.66gigs. i read that it doesnot support INTEL VIRTUALIZATION TECH! will it make any difference.
2. can i upgrade the graphics card of laptop later if i hav an inferior one?
Plz reply soon

1) if it doesn't haf virtualization (confirm this) then the performance of OS on emulators (like virtual pc, vmware, virtual box) will be affected. its not that it won't be usable but built in virtualisation is always better.

2) only if the gfx card is modular (MXM technology etc.) but afaik, all commonly available laptops in india do not haf this feature.

The T5500 1.66 Ghz is not a Santa Rosa processor while the T5450 1.66 Ghz is for the Santa Rosa platform..... If you ask me you better go for the latest Santa Rosa platform than going for an older one....

I could not get any online price listing in Rs. for the 4710g and so I doubt it is available in India.... It is just damn bad to see many computer-based products and offers being offered in US, Canada, Europe, Aussie and all but not in India :(
