Laptop from the U.S

[Akshay]

I m planning to buy a new laptop but except budget nothing has been decided. The budget is Rs.40000. I m planning to get it from the U.S

The laptop should have atleast 512 ram, wi-fi, gud no. of usb and other ports, dvd writer, graphics card, etc.

I would like to know what is the best poss. config. i can get. I'l mainly be using the laptop for office work and then for gaming ( unreal 2005, igi-2, max payne 2, etc.) I have already got doom 3 and i want a laptop which can do atleast some justice to doom3 by letting me play it a 30+fps at whtever resolution...

2nd thing i wud like to know is about global warranty... will i be able to avail of free warranty in india if i have purchased the sys. frm the U.S coz i have seen nokia buyers from abroad suffer... Plz help

As far as warranty goes, it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. And regarding your Doom 3 requirement, I doubt that any laptop under 40k will do justice to the game. At best, you will get the Intel GMA900 or a low end Radeon - I don't think any laptop under that price will give a decent graphics card. You can take a look at Dell's laptops - they don't come with international warranty I guess. The Dell Inspiron 6000 is a good option but check if it comes with an international warranty. Acer also has some laptops in your price range but only with the GMA900.
