I would suggest you to get an acer laptop. I too have it, it is quite good and few models come under 40k range too. Secondly, I would suggest ipod video.

Well, its not possible to buy a laptop 2day and use it for 10 years.
Sure it may workbut it'll be useless
Technology is changing fast and ur laptop will be obsolate within 5-6 years at maximum.
So forget abt tht.

And acer laptop is a good choice.

please stick to the subject.....

no one can use a laptop for more than 5 years as after 5 years nothing new will run on it.

i recommend a dell laptop with atleast 256 mb ram

Technology is going so fast I think 5 years is also a large value. BTW ur laptop ll run fine but it ll not be updated with the concurrent technology features

well i'd vote in favour of acer and hp/compaq laptops. for 40k you'll get a very basic lappy from dell and lenovo. these are costly. do post in ur requirements (config)

where is this discussion heading??!!! posts like "oh there are other gals like xxxx, yyyy..etc" and "oh i love ur smilies" don't make any sense!

btw, thinkpad at 40k are low end ones. so if budget is modest i'd suggest u go in for acer or compaq models.

Apple iBook 12 inch for 58,300...try it out, you will extend your budget for sure. Though you might want to wait for the Intel based ones....around the corner.

Boss! go for IBM/Lenovo, I bought R51 in 2001, it was costlier than, but it delivered the services very well now it is very heavy. One week back I bought T43/Lenovo. This one s cool, very light yet very heavyduty. Also it is loaded with things like bluetooth and fingerprint recognition. But think before buying only if you need both this feature than only go for it. This blue tooth supports all sorts of gizmos head sets etc etc. The finger print recognition is the best for me as I do not have to bothered to change passwords to lock my system. Go ahead now I think you have enough info.....enjoy...

IBM prices are too high. Just check the specifications not the brand name.
