Thread: Want to buy a new laptop

Hi All,
I want to buy a budget laptop (under 40k) with good features in it.
The RAM must be of 4GB. I don't care much about the storage capacity. Anything greater than 320GB is okay for me.

On this weekend I checked out Acer 5740 and I did like it.
It had Intel Core i5-430M processor, 15.6 ince monitor,4GB DDR3 RAM and 500GB Sata Hard Disk and the cost was 35k.

The only glitch was that it didn't have Radeon HD graphics card.
Although I am not a game freak, I decided to wait for greater deal.

What you guys suggest?

Please tell for what purpose u need the laptop?

Daily computing or Professional computing??

For professional purpose.

Dell has many good laptops and acer gives many good laptops at decent price.

Plz wait while i am finding a good lappy in ur range....

That would be a great help.

For Different usages and models suggested.
Laptop Guide | Laptop Buyer's Guide
If for Business use at a fixed Location a desktop
better choice.
Carrying laptop to and fro from home/office , weight matters.
The OS should be genuine and licensed copy. You may have to spend more on Software
applications.

An Olive laptop with genuine Windows OS with
TataPhoton connection etc advertised in these forums. ( also on TV) ( weight I think about 1 .1 Kg)

I am a s/w engineer so I need high performance laptop. So I need good processor and ample of RAM (4GB would be sufficient).

Carrying the laptop to my office doesn't arise, so weight is not a big issue. However I'd love to have a lighter one.

Now I am telling the best laptop for you. it`s Dell inspiron 1545:

1.. 5.6" 720p WXGA (1366x768) TrueLife Display Monitor
2.. Upto 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD
3.. 8X max DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability
4.. 6-cell Primary Battery
5.. Microsoft® Works (Including Microsoft® Home & Student 60 Days Trial Pre-installed)
6.. Dell Recommends Microsoft® Office 2007
7.. Home & Student Edition - OEM Version
8.. Integrated 1.3 mega pixel web cam
9.. 512 MB Graphic card.
10.. Wifi + Bluetooth.
11.. Card Reader


You have two choices to choose from it has core i3 processor or Core 2 Duo.

ok now i got it

Now i suggest he should go for something extra like Office 2007 OEM.

This is okay but if you want a higher storage capacity. You can just get a portable HD with a high capacity like those from Western Digital. They have 1TB to 2TB HDs.
