I assume u need it for light tasks. As that kinda laptop will only fit ur budget.

Go for Acer 4315. Gr8 vfm @ 22k. CeleronM 1.8 ghz, 1gb ram, 945 chipset, 80gb hdd, dvd-rw, wifi, etc.
Or
compaq c700 series.

AMD X2 2GHz processor
1gig or 2 gig ram
nvidia 7000Go chipset (good for basic gaming)
160gig HDD
14.1" glossy wide screen
bluetooth, IR, wifi, gigabitlan, integrated 1.3mp webcam
sturdy build
leather laptop carry case

It comes with 1Gig ram but you can get more as my friend did some bargaining and got an extra gig stick installed by the seller.

Theres nothing bad in celeron models. The money saved in proccy shows up in xtra features. And gives vfm for those who dont want heavy multitasking.

@gautham
4520g, its dual core but not 8400 gs.

AFAIK acer 4520 costs 29k+

Acer 4520 costs around 26k all inclusive, in Bangalore. I cannot see a better laptop which provides as much VFM as this one.

Yup. Heard of its new price. Where exactly can I buy it ? I remember an Acer laptop store near rajajinagar 1st block west of chord road. Can I get it for the same price there ?

But you said 4520G. G version comes with 8400GS. Ordinary version comes with 7000M IGP.

whats the cost of 4520G ? What do they charge for the GFX card ?

Acer laptop stores charge more. Try to get it from your neighborhood dealer or SP Road. You can even try computerwarehouse on MG Road but you will need to bargain with them a bit.

Will I get Warranty if I buy from SP Road ?

And whats the cost of 4520G ? G is the version with 8400GS optional. I confirmed it.
All these numbers of acer dealers are outdated.
None of them exist. I tried several numbers till now.

SP Road is not a black market. Go to stores like Golcha, Railton, Ankit, Anandit and you get genuine hardware and good support.

Nah. It cant be added later.
And I dont think you get the 4520G in here. Not Mumbai atleast.
BTW, if you are not heavily into gaming and just want portability and want to try different OSes get a MSI Wind.

If an MSI wind is available for 16k in india too, its worth buying.
but wikipedia says prices have been raised from 399$ to 560$

that will make it pointless to posess compared to 4520.

Yea. But the price inflation seems temporary. Due to shortage of stock.

If you have Just Dial service in your city call them and ask them to send contact detail of all the Acer laptop dealers in your area. That's how my friend got the lappy. We first got all the number. Dialed to most of them and went to the place that offered best price. It's Acer dealer in Raheja Arcade, near Forum Mall, Bangalore.

XP runs fine on this and yes, there are few issues with linux drivers.

The 26k is totally justified.

Rediff and Indiatimes are quoting heavy price for this. Get it from Acer dealer in your locality.

Let me make it clear.
It costs frm 26k-28k depending on the shop. There is no G model you get it with 1 gig of ram n can add upto 4gig.
All in all the best laptop at its price.
If you add 2gig of ram then you can run vista ultimate nfs carbon prince of persia and several other games as well

P.S:-i have played following games and ran vista ultimate with 1 gig ram on the same lappy and it worked nicely without any problem.
