Don' t go for refurbhished laptops. Also dont go for celeron laptops. They r not worth th price. Acer aspire 3002 is a good choice. Also look for iball laptops, as thier price has decreased.

S

if u r buget is this than ok go for acer, i dont know where can an iball be sevices, first locate their service center and then buy it.

seems my long cherished dream of having laptop cabe realized...

can anyone say which comapny's laptop is cheapest and available in India...

whats cost of ACER 3002 in India....??????????????????????????

I guess the Acer Aspire 3002 is getting synonymous with entry level laptops and almost the only choice which many have. Check this thread for any info on the same laptop.

S

yes as u correctly pointed out with my budget i want just "entry level laptops" for time being...

"almost the

only

choice "

r u sure...do we have any one more choice...

thanks so much

Hello,

Acer 3002 is inspiring me, the other choice I have is:-

Zenith Executive at 41k, it has Pentium 4 processor 2.26, 128 mb ram, combo etc.

If you were me, which u would have bought. Since the price difference is 5k ?

Thanks,
Zeeshan

Of course, the acer aspire 3002 !!!

The zenith one has P4. Means it will really get hot and consume too much power. Also it has only 128mb ram.

Go for acer aspire 3002 with dvd writter version. It costs about 37,000. Also if have 2k-3k extra, an additional 256k ram will be icing on the cake.

wow...........in nutshell if i spend rs 40000;

i have 512 mb ram + dvd writer + laptop

Hello,

Almost my Acer 3002 is finalized, the only thing i worry of is less battery life of 1.5 hrs, but they are giving a free MP3 player with Acer 3002!! Plus, I can get an extra battery at some 2.5k, so all in all, thanks for all help.

The on road price of Acer 3002 here at jaipur is 34,200/-

Thanks,

S

but acer 3002 has Celeron processor....?????????????

cheapest like this model but with intel pentium centrino mobile chipset...???????? any one...any idea...???????

S

i mean it has

"Processor: Mobile AMD Sempronâ„¢ processor 2800+(1.6 GHz)"

Is this comparable to speed of Intel Pentium M centrino mobile 1.5 Ghz????????????????

Easily comparable d00d as i heard AMD is much faster than INT in performance.

Also, go for a better clock speed

Eh? Sempron 1.6GHz better than Pentium M 1.5GHz :shock:

Mate, the Sempron competes with the Celeron and NOT the Centrino/Pentium M. The Centrino platform is way better than Sempron.

@sincereheart: You might have to push your budget beyond 50k to get a good Centrino system.

S

ok....which laptop has centrino mobile Pentium M and costs least in that category (I am ready to increase my budget)...please advise...

I am comparin celeron m and amd sempron ,
srry if considered otherwise...
