I will suggest you Dell....They are offering some cool offer.

[Choto Cheeta]

By the way, when it comes to brand name... do tell me for entry lavel Lappy there are 2 choice infront of me, LG FD-225QA2 and Compaq C506TU both are all most same (Config i mean to say), both will cost around 31,500 (after upgrading to 512MB DDR2 from the base 256MB DDR2)

just want to know as a brand which one u would preffer !! this Lapy will be used by one of our sales representetives therefore more than Walk we need the Talks , here when he would visit a client side the Looks and brand name matters the most , to me i tought the Compaq would be the best

@ravi - Yea was thinking abt Dell 6400 but its looks are guady. Have to choose between these two.

[ambandla]

I remember someone saying lenovo Y-Series is very very poor on gaming and multimedia apps.

HP laptops are better choice than these two.

Just my thought: HP > Dell > Toshiba > Sony > Lenovo

[Pathik]

lenovo lappys arent at all VFM...
Go for a dell inspiron 6400..

[laptops4u]

GO for Acer with wide lcd cost 28k to 30k.

[Chirag]

Forget all other companies. Jst need to select frm these two. Also it shld be able to run latest games atleast at lower resolution. So hp na??

[aryayush]

HP, boss.

[uchiha.sasuke]

go for HP........

[cpyder]

I am having a bad time with Acer. Picked up aspire5101ANWLMI model. Has Turion 64bit running at 2 GHz and 256 MB DDR II RAM. Thought it to be quiet a good machine. But it takes about 10 mins for XP just load up. I have not been able to install any version of linux on it - it just hangs up.. wrote a mail to Acer 3 days ago. Not even an automated reply recieved!!

Thought I would let others know about it..

[Goten]

I use Hp DV5200.

No1 mentioned here Apple machines.

Peace~~~!

Because very few people are interested in making intelligent decisions in India. So who are we to force it upon them.

yeah rite! all our decisions till today haf been foolish coz most of us hafn't bought the imac or the macbook or the mac pro or the ipod or are not planning to buy the iphone... and the list goes on and on and on.....for not using apple products! thats ridiculous man! u haf no right to term someone's purchase as intelligent or not. what mite be a good buy for me mite be a foolish buy for u and vice versa. its not correct to say it in public. if u think so then keep it to urself! if u haf something to say abt apple's product in comparison then point out its virtues in this context comparing wid the laptops Chirag has mentioned. dun pass comments like these. these will only irk people! u sound like a "mac sales agent" why u say "So who are we to force it upon them."

@Chirag:
buy the hp pavilion lappy. areas where hp scores:
120gb hdd (100gb in lenovo)
geforce go 7400 (lenovo doesn't mention anything)
vista home premium (xp in lenovo)

things where lenovo scores
subwoofer
supports dvd ram (plz confirm this regarding hp's dvd-rw drive)
face recognition (i dun see any practical use as of now. a biometric wud've been better)
tv tuner (strongest point!)

but the difference is almost 8k. which can be made up easily in the hp laptop. given the fact that hp's customer care is the best and most widely available (personal experience). i'd suggest the hp laptop.

[sysfilez]

I prefer Hp anytime.

No, the reason all your "decisions till today haf been foolish" is because when you compare Macs to computers from other companies, you compare just the hardware and the relative price. In this sort of a comparison, Apple's computers will almost always lose in the lower price segment, albeit by a small margin.
However, no one takes into account the most important factor which is, and always has been, Mac OS X. As long as Macs are the only computers that run Mac OS X, they will always have the edge over normal computers. Always.

For example, my teacher just bought a laptop. He bought a laptop with lower specifications that had Vista Home Premium installed and was more expensive than a laptop that had higher specifications but had Windows XP Media Center installed. Why? Because he believes (and rightly so) that Windows Vista is a better operating system. He was ready to make the sacrifice of a little more money and a little performance to have the latest in technology.
However, this same person would not even consider Macs, even though the MacBook was well within his budget. If he would not have been my teacher, I would say he was stupid.

Most people do not realise that at the end of the day it is not the hardware that matters, it is the software that is going to be much more useful.



If you start a thread here and Mac users would just point out one advantage of Mac OS X in every post, it would easily cross a total of two hundred posts. Even today, after having used Mac OS X for more than eight months, I constantly discover astonishingly simple new features that have been there in the operating system by default all along.

Mac OS X is better, loads better, and it will always be.

Now, if we could steer back to the topic please and let the thread starter get on with his HP vs. Lenovo query.

Compaq V3228AU is nice @ 32000. It has Nvidia chipset 6150 onboard graphics which is way better than intel GMA. It is AMD lappy, 512 MB RAM, 80GB, 14.1 XWGA and AMD 2.0 GHZ. It comes with free DOS. It has same famous HP Imprint technology and has all other features of laptop.

Its equivalent in Intel would be costing 45000 and that too with intel GMA which is far inferior to Nvidia 6150 or ATI X300. At 32000, you can not get anything better than this.
