compaq would be the best choice.. the basic price would be 29,999 even if u include VAT and installation and handling charges would be under 35k

[esumitkumar]

Model no ?

[supernova]

Go for Compaq TU3156
It comes with:
14" Widescreen
256MB ram
80 GB
DVD Burner
Wifi / LAN / MODEM
1 year warranty
Carry Bag

No OS

all this for around 29.6k (nehru place)

[Ganeshkumar]

For Exactly 35K Rs.... U can get the following configuration in Dell:
AMD Turion X2 TL50
15.4"
512MB RAM
80GB
DVD Combo
Wifi/LAN/Modem
9Cell battery!
1Yr Onsite Warranty..
DOS

ook in their Website for more Details...
I think this AMD Turion X2 is better than Intel Celeron or Pentium!!!

As ur Battery back up is most important...
Go for 9 cell battery pack watever brand u go...!

[Kiran.dks]

For good battery back up time choose Intel Core based laptops from HP Pavilion. AMD Turion based laptops don't offer good battery backup time.

Hey Ganesh man .
whats the model no of Dell ur referring and which city ?

[Ganeshkumar]

I am telling abt Dell 1501...(cheapest model in India frm Dell)
http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/prod...sd1&l=en&s=bsd

u can customize it in this link....

[Sourabh]

Go with the Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook. It is based on AMD's Radeon Xpress 1150 mobile chipset and offers exceptional battery life. Infact, this very platform of Turion X2 and 1150 chipset is the most power efficient platform for budget notebooks. 9-cell battery gives more than 6 hours of battery life in power save mode and 4.5 hours in moderate load. The best thing about this notebook is, it doesn't cost much. It is very affordable at 35k. You can even skip the option for Windows Vista Home Basicand select the n-series config with DOS. If your criteria is max battery life for 35k, this is the only notebook you should consider.

Sign a check of the said amount. Give them the Chq, no, fax them over the chq and signed quotation. That should place the order. A Citibank representative will collect the cheque within 2 days. This should be the other way out.

[esumitkumar]

ya but the offer of DVD writer stands upto tomorrow only...and even chq realisation takes two days ...anyways i was asking all this for a frnd..now he has cancelled the deal....

thanks for all the help

digitians rock !

i talked to their sales manager and he said we take all CC details and they become *********** in our system..how foolish....

dell shud develop an online purchase system like etickets of airlines do ......
when i said this to him..he said dell is coming slowly in India..its been only 1 yr...so they are taking time ..WTH one yr and u cant develop an online purachse system

thats y due to all these hassles ..my frnd cancelled the deal........he said better buy compaq at a store ...then do all these hassles ...

[Ganeshkumar]

Like these ... many inconvenience too r there wen we go for DELL!!!

And I think those offers wont be closed tmrw... There r possibilities of extra offers only... I think!

[esumitkumar]

Finally my frnd bought Compaq AU 55 from Nehru place at around 29 K..he is happy with it
