DV6 1211AX, am interested in this model, however its not on display on hp site,

""Its a brand new model with AMD Turion X2 2.2 GHz, 4GB DDR2 800MHz Ram, ATI 4650 1GB DDR3 Ram, 320GB HDD 7200RPM, WIFI with ABGN, yes also Draft N, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, 15.6" WLED HD Display, yes again LED backlit display and the cost is just INR 45000 in Mumbai including VAT. Its the best performing model in AMD from HP in DV6 series. Its the replacement of DV6 1110AX which had standard display means no LED backlit & 320GB 5400RPM HDD.
This model gets hot but the same problem also with DV6 1154TX as both of these use high performance ATI 4650 1GB DDR3 RAM Graphics card.

But don't worry as the 1211AX doe not get that hot. Its simply awesome model...

Simply SUPERB.................""

this was a review on same site by one consumer, is it possible to get this piece without OS preloaded thus possible price reduction- suggestions from the experts is solicited:smile:

i am also planning to buy the same model. It is to good to resist.

[azaad_shri75]

yeah its the same feeling here, however will wait before buying it, as even on hp forums people have the same complaint of over heating of amd based notebooks.

any comments on HCl notebooks, they use nvidia chipset gpu included, are they worth the penny.

the above was from hcl website, and if you are going for 1211ax, check the street prices, here at my place it was 44.5k final with carry case, let me know of your user experience.

go for dell.....I just bought a studio 15 a few months back and am pretty happy with it...

you can configure the specs of the laptop on the site to as far as your budget permits, the config options are pretty good although not what you would call high end....but they are more than sufficient to enjoy the laptop to the max...(gaming at medium to high resolutions, photoshop, music editing and all ....)

if you want to go for looks there's always the designer range of colour combinations from dell.....mike ming and stuff.....or there is always laptopskinz.in for personalized skins...

and there is always the great dell warranty ....I blew my charger and dell replaced it within 5 days.....

[izzikio_rage]

Guys!
Has anyone got an Idea as to how the Mobility Radeon HD 4650 compares to the GeForce GT230M. If yes I need an urgent reply.
Thanks in advance!! :-)

[desiibond]

GT230M is rebranded GeForce 9700M GTS

and it is just slightly faster than HD4650.

[nmenon]

Thanks!
My friend is confused whether to buy an HD 4650 based laptop from Toshiba or a newer model with the GT230M. Rest of the Hardware is same except that the one with GT230M comes with 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz RAM to the older one's 4GB DDR2 800MHz. Price difference is negligible according to him.

[desiibond]

then go for the newer one. can you post full config of both models?

[techno0065]

hey guys i bought a dell studio 1555 in july this year which comes with windows vista home premium.i want to get the best of gaming.can u plz tell me the tweaks to do for windows for dat and i also want to know can i check if any updates are there for the ati 4570 512 mb graphics card so dat i may download the latest graphics driver and get the best of my games.plz advise

[nmenon]

The Rest of the config of the 2 Toshiba Laptops (Satellite: A500-134, A500-19W) is as below.
Processor : Core2Duo P8700 2.53GHz 1066MHz FSB
RAM : 4GB DDR2 800MHz (For the 134) 4GB DDR3 1066MHz (For the 19W)
HDD : 500GB (for the 134) 400GB (for the 19W)
OS : Windows Vista Home Premium (134) Windows 7 (19W)
Graphics : HD4650 1GB DDR2 (134) GT230M 1GB DDR2 (19W)
Optical Drive : DVD writer single and dual layer
Display : 16.0" 1366x768 resolution
Price : 490 Riyals in Oman (134) TBA (estimated around 600 Riyals for the
19W)
Price is not much of an issue within 650 Riyals for him. Sony Vaio with equivalent hardware as the A500-134 costs 740 Riyals.
Not interested in Dell

[azaad_shri75]

^^ these models not shown on indian website.

[nmenon]

The 2 Toshiba models (A500-134 and A500-19W) are unfortunately available in the Middle-East but unavailable here. The A500-134 had an Indian version which is not available now the A500-13F. My friend works in Oman, he wants to buy it from there.

[ssk_the_gr8]

wats the cost of dell studio 15 including tax?

[gopi_vbboy]

i have one more query

can i get good company laptop with no preinstalled os or OEM limitations....i need to use ubuntu or existing copy of XP ?

wat is the free dos version of laptops?

[azaad_shri75]

free dos is from oss community and not from M$, its just a crap and you could install your OS of choice, you could get aspire 5536g without os(it comes with linux) or vostro from dell.

[desiibond]

:-?i have one more query

can i get good company laptop with no preinstalled os or OEM limitations....i need to use ubuntu or existing copy of XP ?

no need to break head to find out what free DOS is. Consider a laptop with free DOS as laptop with no OS :)

[gopi_vbboy]

:-?

Ok what if i want to install another os on my laptop i purchase that comes say with WIn7 as specified in Dell site...will i able to install m existing XP in new latop with Win if i need

[Wiley]

Howdy Friends,

I am going to buy a new laptop in a few days...Budget is 40-45 k , my needs are basic...
Basically I need the laptop for programming n stuff, watching a little movies... and a bit of gaming...

Would love a better battery backup...

Any brand would do as long as the laptop works fine...:wink:

From the last few days I am really not able to decide even the brand..let alone the laptop...:sad:

So finally I have come to the badshaws of knowlegde...Let me bask in your glory...:lol:
Please suggest...!
Wiley...!

[azaad_shri75]

try one of these

1) HP Pavilion DV6-1256TX ----- 40k
2) HP Pavilion DV6-2005AX ------ 43.8k

however the price of first is doubtful.

source -http://www.priceindia.in/laptop/

[Wiley]

Dost,

These lappies come with pre loaded os , can I get something that comes with DOS so that i save the cost of OS (chuckle) .

Common guys throw up a few options...!

Wiley

[azaad_shri75]

then check dell's vostro models.

[Wiley]

What about Acer dude...? 5738 n 5738g eh ?

[azaad_shri75]

What about Acer dude...? 5738 n 5738g eh ?
they come preloaded with OS, you can try 5536 ones.........

[Wiley]

Dude whats your pick tell me that...!

My friends say that hp gets overheated, acer sucks and dell is overhyped..Kinda funny :lol:

Pls suggest me a good option within 45- 50 range...

[azaad_shri75]

what you heard is true, and in that price bracket hp ones are better, as of me I have picked 2005AX.

[Wiley]

In one of your previous posts you said that DELL laptops are overhyped...aren't you contradicting yourself...?

Wiley

[azaad_shri75]

In one of your previous posts you said that DELL laptops are overhyped...aren't you contradicting yourself...?

where am I contradicting , if you see my previous reply you would understand that am not biased to any brand in the given budget naturally one would select the best model available, there is no use continuing this topic,
-----------------------------------------

[Wiley]

Dost gussa mat karo yaar..! I relly appreciate your suggestions trust me....


Thanks a heap..!:-)

Wiley

[azaad_shri75]

Dost gussa mat karo yaar..! I relly appreciate your suggestions trust me....


Thanks a heap..!:-)

Wiley

no its not the point of getting angry or something, have seen and used some notebooks from different manufacturer, if not most of the available...
as of your statement --- had bought vostro early this year after hearing from all go for dell go for dell, however I was completely dis-satisfied with that piece, and regarding heating-- this was burning by the time OS was installed.........
so you can make what I want to say.........

for the given price you would not dell with 1gb gfx that 4650.

[Wiley]

Thanks dude ...so that means that hp would be a good option after all....

What do you say...?

Wiley

[azaad_shri75]

think so, as of me also planing to buy the same........

[Wiley]

The following are available in my city:-

hp dv6-2005AX
hp dv6-1152
hp dv4-1506

I think hp dv6-2005AX would be good

What do you say..?

[azaad_shri75]

yep and where do you stay?

[arunks]

Hi guys...

Please help to find a good performance netbook with 10" screen size.

Please help me to choose a good configuration netbook in that price range.

Also Kindly tell me where can one purchase that in bangalore from a good reputed shop.

[sandeepk]

I am planning to buy a new laptop in the range of 30K - 40K. It will be used mainly for programming and movies. It should be able to play 720p atleast (If able to play 1080p, it will be really good :) )
Please suggest laptops which will be readily available. So Dell is out of question.

Are laptops available now which have Win 7 preinstalled?

[azaad_shri75]

^^add another 5-6k and get dv6 2005ax, you would not regret it.

[red dragon]

[sandeepk]

Thanks for your replies. I will check out dv6 2005ax. How is battery life? Anybody from Pune has bought it? I want to know the name of shop where I can find it. I had visited Croma in Aundh yesterday. I don't think that it was there on display (but I may be wrong).

[azaad_shri75]

for normal use battery gives upto 1.5hrs, if you play games kinda stuff, you would get just half it.

[Mike84]

Hi Guyz and gals,
I need a suggestion. Please help me pick a laptop for a friend of mine. Very modest budget of 30K.
The main purpose of the laptop would be for internet(chatting and social networking... and may be flash videos) and movies.
There isnt any graphical requirement other than HD videos and Windows 7 :D
Main thing is that the laptop shouldn't be a black brick.. cause my friend's a girl. :P

Please Please Please Please suggest some good models. The budget isnt very strict... but she is forbidden to cross 40K at any cost. :(

[dare devil]

try net books or the dell inspiron series....since your hardware requirements are not that great you could spend some cash on the looks aspect ...and that is pretty good with dell.......

irrespective of the brand you choose you could always turn the laptop into a looker by putting a skin on it...check out laptopskinz.in

remember that T6600 doesn't support h/w virtualization and you won't be able to use win7's XP mode if you want to.

Why not check Dell Studio 15 and Acer 5xxx series. One thing that is good with Acer is after-warranty costs unlike in Dell and HP.

I am not sure about the power of the netbooks... please tell me. Can netbooks run HD movies on windows 7 properly with... perhaps a zipping or a couple of mass data transfer operation and a song download on firefox going on in the back end. (cause thats probably the max usage that will be done on it.) I doubt atom processors are capable of that, but i really have no idea.
In case it does, please suggest some good nettop models... :D

guys, I am having a strange problem,I stay in kolkata and my isp is the local cablewalah who gives it through cable modem,it works without a hitch in the desktop,now when i am inserting the cable in the laptop(dv6 2005ax) IT IS NOT WORKIN EVEN THE INDICATOR IS NOT BLINKING,initially thought it to be some lan driver issue,but device manager says lan card and drivers are working correctly,whats happening?anyone with similar issues?any solution?

[puneetgarg]

i just bought acer 4736 hows that one ??

[IronManForever]

^ You've bought it already. Why do you ask?

My friend got a good deal on that one. Acer 4736
- Screen is small enough (13?) but has 1366X768 resolution. Good.
- Keyboard Okish. Not contoured.
- Trackpad Okish.. No no, horrible!
- 3GB DDR2 RAM + 320 GB HDD .. Okay for the price.
- Graphics subpar. Intel 4500M. Definitely not for games.
- VGA + HDMI .. Definitely a plus. But then no way to go higher than 1920x1200.
- 3 USB ports. Okay.
- Modem (?)
- No OS bundled .. Bad
- Sound .. Passable.
- Fingerprint Security with custom command assigning functionality: Great.. but purpose?


Still, for a low end laptop at a good price, its recommended.

[puneetgarg]

well mine is actually 14.1" with 3GB DDR3 RAM
but im not able to work up with fingerprint security feature...
anyways i liked it
and presently using Win 7 on it :D

for brand sony the price is ok, however it has old pentium dual core, why dont you try out for other brands.

But its a 45 nm proc. and the gcard should be quite capable of helping out the proc. I mean its 512 Mb GT210... that means it has cuda capable. rite?

Among other brands... can u suggest some?
Among brands, will there be any built quality difference between dell hp sony acer?? if so, which one's the best to have? (In 30-40K range... higher up offcourse alienware M15X should be better than the others in build quality :D)

Desibond & ssk_the_gr8:Can i run Win 7's XP mode in DV6 2005ax?
what is the model number of processor?

all AMD processors allow h/w based virtualization. just make sure that it is enabled in BIOS

I want to buy HP dv7-3085dx, has some great specs, but have heard some problems too like BSOD overheating, component failures...I am a student and already 1200$ is too much for me...but I have my heart set out on that beauty....;-)....please suggest whether I should buy it or not...

am in Syracuse, New York and I plan to buy it from a best buy store this thanksgiving....but I think that they only replace product for 2 weeks.....also, I want to play games with future games compatibility too...so I thought of this laptop...also, it doesn't look zany, so I can take it to my office too in future....if not, please suggest some laptop...budget is $1000-$1200...and no preference for any models...

I'm going to buy myself a new laptop for my MBA degree. price is not an issue. I do a little more inclination towards the sony vaios as i find them very attractive. Now, my nuts are on the vaio x (aka SIZE zero laptop). Now, according to this (http://gadgetmix.com/index/sony-vaio-x-review-does-this-size-zero-notebooknetbook-has-the-x-factor/) big review it does not has that nice battery life as advertized on their website.

I won't be doing too much of programming on it as my studies do not involve all that. what I want is good battery life from my laptop. I, initially heard that vaio x would have extremely good battery life, but that is not the case here. I then contacted sony and they told me that I need to buy that one separately. what a rip off! What do u experts suggest?
