Ok,so my aunt’s finally decided to get a notebook for herself..

but is puzzled by the no. of options avaialble..

Budget : In & around 50k

she’s keen on getting a VIAO but then that isn’t VFM for its price..she’s tempted by its looks ! :stuck_out_tongue: Right!?

Other brands sggstd : DELL , HP

*What she needs: *

Must LOOK GOOD! (Design & aesthetics)

A very good disply (pref. 15" )

Very Good on-board speakers,audio capabilities in general

Good performance when connected to a projector/ext. display

Atleast 2gb of ram and 200gb HD..

BT,WiFi etc..

decent battery life

good after-sales support

^^ hope i didn miss anything :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

So all u LAPPYheads out there,do post ur suggestions..

thanx a mill !

~ t.t.m ~

P.S: She prefers buying it from a store than ordering it online !

For Looks: VAIO (Maybe dell too except XPSs).

And for VFM: DELL

What is the VAIO model?

I bought a Compaq Notebook yesterday for my sister.

This is the exact notebook which i purchased yesterday. Compaq Presario V3780TU Notebook PC (KP161PA) specifications - HP Home & Home Office products

Costed me 42K… Seems it is worth that much.

5

also try **Compaq Presario CQ45-137TX ** ~45k

#Intel Core2 Duo Mobile Processor P7350(2 GHz, 3 MB L2 Cache, 1066 MHz FSB, EM64T)
#3 GB PC2-6400 DDR2 (800 MHz)
#NVIDIA GeForce Go 9200M GS -256 MB Dedicated Graphics Memory
#1280 x 768 WXGA

6

Dell Studio is ur best bet.

7

thnx..this sounds interesting.

8

am considering that as well..
the studio 15 !

9

something that hopefully fits into the budget..
but i’m gonna convince her to stay away from a VIAO coz its just not VFM..

10

any good model from HP as well???

11

There were some special edition HP laptops suggested by someone in the forum..they looked very very good…And not that costly..43-47k..Looks were sexy..

Looked like the laptop in this page..
Customize your dv2700t Special Edition series direct at HP Home & Home Office Store

12

yeah even the artisitic editions are largely available still. Configs like C2D 2.3ghz and 3 gigs of ram are standard on those models.

13

oh ok..thnx..

Wat about these two from HP?
DV5-1120TX & DV41131TX ??

14

So here’s my list:

[B]Compaq CQ45-137TX

Dell Inspiron 1525
Dell Studio 15

HP dv5-1120TX
HP dv4-1131TX[/B]

So my best bet is ???

15

HP dv5-1120TX

does this has 9600m gt? what’s the price?

16

Yep, its got the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT…
not sure bout the price, guessing <60k …

17

i got the inspiron 1525 white. Its really good if you are keen on gaming on it. It does any work thrown at it. Sureshot VFM. Now, if you are a keen on moderate gaming DELL STUDIO is the way to go my friend.. HP is equally good but not really sure of the service here in india.

18

the 1015 was for 65k i have my doubts about this being under 60k please let me know just in case. i am finding a lappie since ages as well but nothing fits my budget. how long before dell and hp bring out c2 in all their laptops. to wait end of the year or take the plunge now itself?

19

Dude,the Studio 15 is much better than the Inspiron 1525 !
3GB Ram,faster proc,better display..
And as far as graphics is concerned,the Studio 15 can be customized with the 256mb ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 module in lieu of the Intel X3100..

Making the studio 15 a better buy if there’s no budget constraint..

And HP has been here longer than Dell has and its spares are easily available..service is not an issue either..

On the contrary,Dell has no approachable service centre as such..u need to send it back to them to get it repaired or call their engineer!

not sure bout the price..
