Check out LG C1 and Sony VAIO TZ Series.

LG C1 is available for 93k, for TZ I'd say go with the prices quoted on their website.

Hi Guys,

I am facing some problem while trying to connect my laptop to net using bluetooth.

I had activated my Airtel GPRS for 24hrs using Airtel's instant GPRS service.
After setting up my mobile(Motorola L6) as an external modem via bluetooth, with the setup details as given by Airtel Custome Care, when i try to dial up its giving me a error stating "Error 692: There is a hardware failure in modem or some other device...".
I am able to browse using the mobile's inbuilt browser though.

Before this error comes up, while dialup, the laptop access the Moble and requests for permission to network Gateway twice. The error comes up after i give "Grant" access to both the request.

Please let me know if anyone of you have faced this issue and how to get it resolved.

Thanks,
TechHunter.

Guys, thanks a lot for your posts and opinions. I have been checking your posts on laptops since the past few days. I am after the HP dv6516tx.


http://fastrackcomputing.net/shop/pr...oducts_id=1392

On the above link it says it has a 1.3 MP Camera, But someone had mentioned earlier that it only has a VGA? Well does it?

More Info on DV6516TX as on the Original Website

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/in/en...-80376335.html

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ actually i dont see megapixel class cam utility on the laptop. that will mainly be used for webcam conferences etc. for which in my opinion a vga cam is jus fine. the dv6516tx has 1.3mp cam. confirm wid imav.

[TechHunter]

^^^ Nope DV6516tx doesn't have 1.3 Mpx camera. It has a VGA camera.

Also the OS in DV6516 is "Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium" and not "Genuine Windows Vista™ Ultimate" as given in the "Fastrack" site.

[abhinav_bipnesh]

Guys one Question what abt the cemra in Insprion 1520 (dell) which has 2MP camera whether its vga or something else ....................

I bought a 150W inverter from axiom. Why buy a 75W when your laptop charger alone required 90W.

I usually use the phone charger or the laptop charger or the bluetooth headset charger only with the inverter as of now.. Didn't try connecting more than one device at a time..

I Agree. Fastrackcomputing site has minor errors, But I will buy it when I visit there showroom here in Chandigarh. Or If I get it cheaper somewhere.

Q. I know the HP dv6516tx only gives a battery backup of 2 - 2.5 Hrs. What will it cost to upgrade to a 12 cell battery instead of the 6 cell provided. Also Is it better to get a Travel Battery which I suppose is External?

Hello
I have a lenovo Y 500 series laptop (37Q) i want to know that how do i recover my laptop.....?

pls help

[srinivasr]

Hi all,

Got my laptop Dell I 1520, on 11th, Inspiron rocks, very little or almost no fan sound, very comfortable keyboard, and the place we usually tend to keep our hand on laptop does not get hot.

All in all very good for me so far, let me try the dell tech support, hope I dont need to talk to them, But I did not have a very good impression about their sales support.

Yaa I liked the delivery guy

Hey one problem, vista does not support McAfee 8.0, any idea which one to use.

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ kaspersky, avast, nod32.

[abhinav_bipnesh]

I have also receive my Dell Insipron 1520 on 11th much ahead of the expected date shown on their site. up till my experience is very much fine with it. Also the build, the quality & overall is very much fine.
The sound quality, the graphics & the display is much fine than the HP one which one of my friend have. I have not tested the gaming part on my NVidia 8600 GT but looking to do the bench mark in one or two days........

[Cool G5]

A friend of mine wants to buy a laptop.
He will be using it for watching movies,listening songs & moderate gaming.
Suggest a good one at Rs.35K(can't be extended).
He will be buying it tommorow in the evening,so plz let me know before that.

Thank you.
