I was planning to order a vaio Sony VAIO E Series Laptop VPCEG25EN/W for my bro but before doing so I thought that I should ask TDF guys/experts(as I totally trust u guys) who can give me a better idea,I mean some review or anything.
It is costing me 27k,I m thinking to go for the EMI option on letsbuy.
He is just an average user so this laptop so it will be used for internet and movies and listening songs only.
I didn't find any better option than this one.
If there is any better option than this then please let me know.
Your suggestions are welcomed.
Budget is under 30k.
Preferred screen size-14".
One thing I must want to make sure that it should have a decent battery back up and it should be very much durable as he is a kind of a rough user.
please reply soon as I wish to order/purchase it as soon as possible

HP has more RAM, bigger hard disk DOS OS and 2310 processor.
Sony has win 7 home basic and 2330 processor.
And HP is cheaper by 3K.
I dont see how sony is better.

:thumbs: for toshiba, if you want 15', check out Asus X Series X53TA-SX096D Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook

Its bang for buck, just add 4GB RAM later.

I know its out of stock, but its true bang for buck, moreover OP's budget is allowing him to go for it, then why not? The one you mentioned has got AGE OLD CPU, and too weak gfx. Not at all recommended.

Do you think he asked simply? :twisted:
