bit costly for a net book. But its got a bigger screen than the rest.Would come up to 33K after taxes i guess.

Dell products are generally costlier than others, I dont know about other netbooks.
How expensive is this compared to those?

HDD capacity is also (60GB) low i think it should be 160GB for good laptop

Harsham just got an acer one which had a 160GB HDD XP and same processor. The screen was 9". It cost him 17k.

yes ... dell and lenovo are a bit costly ... but its worth it ... dell provides the best after sales service in india ...

9" ... almost a palmtop ..

dell provides very good service.yes.whn my hd went kaput,in the evening,i called them at night and my new hd was installed the next morning.less than 24hrs.
negatives are there though..
1.i am an xps priority warranty consumer.it means,even on non-business days,i get my problem solved within 24hrs.do not know how service to others is..
2.warranty extension is way too costly..at a time when hp provides 2 years of extended warranty at 2500 odd bucks, dell charges 8000 for a 1-year extension of warranty!!

here is a small review on this laptop.

Computer hardware and software reviews from ITreviewed

All the specs are not the same, but it gives an idea.

For a Netbook... 31K+taxes is a bit high... and as ag_prasun said... 8K for extending warranty by one yr is way too costly affair!

I am using DELL Inspiron E1505 configuration i.e. core2duo, 2gb RAM,250 GB hard disk,14.1" LCD

I took it from popular online store on internet. Cheapest Deal !!
