I am using Sony Vaio with same config...

too light...13.3" wide screen, 1.8 kg...

costs Rs. 1,05,000

a bit costly but it is worth spending that much...it is too sweet... :D I just love my babe...

The price mentioned in Digit March 2005 for Acer TravelMate 4002WNLCi is absolutely wrong. It will cost you Rs.64999 + tax. I would recommend IBM or Dell than Acer or HP-Compaq. I'm planning to buy IBM ThinkPad R50e 1834-LQ3 in June, which should be available for around Rs.52000 now.

Specs:
Intel Pentium M Processor 715 (1.5 Ghz, 2 MB L2 cache, 400 Mhz FSB)
256 MB DDR RAM
40GB 4200rpm HDD
15 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD
Intel 855GM Chipset
24x24x24x/8x CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
Intel 802.11b/g wireless(MPCI)
56K V.92 Modem(CDC)
10/100 Ethernet(LOM)
6 cell Li-Ion battery
Win XP Home

Go for Dell . I have personally used IBM , HP-Compaq and Dell and out of these Dell is simply the best. Their quality is awesome and there are many models you can choose from. Just pick DIGIT and see in first few pages , you will see their ad. Call the toll free number and place your order dude and i think they can customize your lappy to ur needs. Check it out.
