Hii friends ...

I am looking for a basic laptop under the 25k price.
After some browsing, I've shortlisted 2 options but don't know which one to choose.

1. Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 Laptop.
(Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.1 GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 320Gb Hard Disk, 15.6 inch screen).
Price: Rs. 25000 /-

2. Acer Aspire 4738
(Intel Dual Core 2.0 GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 500Gb Hard Disk, Intel HD Graphics, 14" screen).
Price: Rs 24600 /-

I'll be using the laptop mostly for home purposes such as using MS Office, Surfing the internet, listening to songs and using few applications such as Tally etc ...

Which of the 2 options will be a better buy for me ?

None of them, considering the after-sales-service of both of them are equally bad.

You better choose something from Dell, Lenovo, HP or Sony.

HP has the worst aftersales service among all...:grin:
I think Dell would be the best if looking for after sale services

Go for better brands like Compaq available at that price. Even Samsung will be a good choice too.
