Dell service is excellent. I dunno about HP. Dell Studio 15 is also a good laptop, you can check it out @ www.dell.co.in

Yes, but not as much as you would like to maybe. There are 2-6 options for each component.

that depends on what models are available in your area. Visit couple of HP retailers. not every one will have same models. Post the models that you like here and you will get the suggestions :)

I just Wanna Share my Personal Experience of HP Warranty Service, After Having Screen's Flicking Problem, I Given it to Bhopal Service Center, Now Today is 28th Day... I didn't got my Laptop back as yet.. HP's Service is not good as DELL/LENOVO .

However I love HP's 100% Flat keyboard style, I love to move my fingers over HP's notepads lol

DV 6 1110AX / DV6 1154 / Other

I think 1110AX comes with AMD Turion processor which is lot inferior to Intel Core2Duo.

if 1154 comes with the following config, you can go for it:

Intel Core2 Duo Mobile Processor P8600 / 2.4 GHz - 3 MB L2 Cache / 4GB / 500
GB SATA / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 - 1 GB Dedicated Graphics / 15.6" HD
BrightView WideScreen / Fingerprint Reader; Integrated Web Cam & Microphones
/ 8X SuperMulti LightScribe Double Layer DVD Writer / Windows Vista Home
Premium (32-bit)

Even Dell is having issues with service. Couple of digitians reported that Dell is trying to charge their customers unnecessarily and even when the product is under warranty. so, it doesn't matter about service. Just get the laptop that serves the purpose.

graphics is too weak and for that price you can assemble a beast

And that core i7 runs at 1.6 GHz, isn't that a bit too low a clock?

Acc to me, a 1.6 ghz core i7 is better than a higher clocked core 2 duo
The architecture is such that it either works as 2.8 ghz two cores or 1.6 ghz four cores X 2(Turbo Boost technology)

Sure, graphics is a problem but it is the only affordable laptop in the range
The HP i7s are in the range of 70-80k as far as i can fathom

just bought the hp dv6 2005ax..
it has the brand new AMD turion II M500(new cpu launched last month)- it is part of amd vision platform
+ u get hd4650... the best laptop for 47k
and these new turions dont get hot cuz they are built on 45nm

^^should've gone for Intel based laptop. anyways. congrats for your purchase. :)

Why do u say.. so ?
any particular reason?
cuz the new amd turion II is built on 45 nm performs as well as intels if not better, runs cool ,gives good battery life.. so i dont see any reason to give preference to intel

i'm saying this after using my laptop for more than 10 days..its my personal experience

^^yes. even in the recent battery tests conducted (by pcworld I think), centrino 2 platform was way ahead in power management and heat dissipation.

Turion is evolving but is not yet a competitor to core2duo Mobile
