thanks 4 d quick reply......appreciate it.....what abt d best in 10 inch????

where to get the lenovo thinkpad x120e in ranchi????

the one i suggested is just superb. no match. try to get that one only. i dont think any 10'' is comparable to it but still you may wanna look at lenovo ideapad s10-3. i have s10. but i dont think it can play full hd movies on s10-3.
i dont know where it'll be available locally (you may buy online) but you may visit chokhani computers in main road near overbridge and ask them whether they will be able to provide it or not.

is the Lenovo s10 -10" (that u mentioned) better than asus eeepc 1001HA

dont ever go to chokhani.... telling u from personal experience
try microsys near sujata instead . ph no. - 3292321
and x120e is what you should buy.. best for this budget

i suggested s10-3 not s10. s10 is old now. btw, x120e is better than both of them. and s10-3 better than eeepc 1001ha.

asus 1001p is comparable to s10-3 but still i'd prefer x120e over both of them.

just one more thing......the lenovo thinkpad x120e belongs to the E series.....right??

@aishwar: well i think it's x series. where did you find it as e series?

the people at microsys n others said that it belongs to e series and is x210.......so a bit confused......i asked them for availability and they told me that it is very old.......nw i am a confused lot.......i asked the lenovo care people - they don't even recognize either the models.....

arey! x210 is another model. then i think that netbook isn't available in india. i guess if you want it you will have to buy it online from somewhere. it is there on the lenovo (US) site but not on the lenovo (INDIA) site. i thought they didn't update the site. or else you can utilize your full budget to buy the dell alienware m11x. just have a look at it.

and there is nothing like e series. even the x210 belongs to the x series. other options are lenovo ideapad s10-3 and HCL ME Netbook AE1V2043-X. both are good IMO. all netbooks are approx. the same and fall in the same price range.

never believe... dealers

be a little patient... ask microsys and the lenovo guys to get it for you from outside.... like calcutta .... call lenovo's cc... enquire where can u get it from, as a last resort online buying is also an option
if u want best bang for buck... get the x120e

Asus 1215b is also an option

@OP: yup the asus one suggested by ssk_the_great also has the brazos platform. see if you can get it. try to avoid the atoms as much as you can.

stay away from atom as utkarsh said

OT
nice too see ranchi guys here, when i joined i was like the only one... but that was like a long time ago
