Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
ohkkk....sorry for posting such a question here...so if u need a review that is then go over to this link... ...
http://www.techtree.com/India/Review...97098-616.html
but in the review they've mentioned that its got 1 gb ram and 160gb HDD which is wrong and its actually got 4gb RAM! and 320 GB HDD!!
and now if someone could tell me anything more on this laptop and the exact price(inc. taxes) ?? Is there an option of not getting original windows...coz then it could be cheaper by 3k...
The techtree site says the price is 40k and this one http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...3200952AAihOPD
says that its for 36k!!

@abhisheksohal
Prices maybe cheaper on the street. Also, these laptops dont have a tap on the specifications. So the model reviewed may have had only 1GB RAM.

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
@azaad_shri75
What world do u live in!?? Intel T5800 is an old dual core?!?!??! Its one of the latest from Intel...i think its under the Centrino 2 range of processors...
And i enquired Zenith showroom in Chandigarh and the price of this laptop is 38k(incl. tax)...if one doesn opt for genuine vista business...its definitely a steal at that price...compared to the features its got...

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
simple example
650VA Mercury UPS costs 1000 bucks less than APC UPS and is thinner and looks better too. But it's crap.
In Indian brands, I prefer HCL over Zenith. Their laptop lineup is much more matured and their support team are much more technical.

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
yeah XPS 1530 would be best if budget is not an issue...coz if u configure it with the same config. as this zenith laptop ,the xps would come out to be priced at more than 60k...and this one is for around 40k...

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
Yeah, money is not an issue. Actually i was considering hp dv5-1015tx but i was unable to find it even at 1 shop.
The only thing holding me back of xps is that it has a buggy gpu.
Wel, now i dont hav a choice. Shud i buy from dell online or do u people think a local store can have it at a cheaper price?
Also i read sumwhere if one call dell & bargain they might take off some taxes.(unbelievable) Is it true?

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
hmm. don't buy it at local store. you may face warranty issues. I don't think there are any direct dealers for Dell laptops in India.
Order online!!!
Did you call HP and ask them if they can ship dv5-1015tx to you if you purchase online?

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
^^ It's not about Indian or foreign. It's about the quality and after sales support. companies like Dell, HP, apple etc are famous for their solid support structure. That is the reason that they are on top.

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
@desiibond
I agree its not about Indian or foreign...but the thing is that the laptops sold by biggies like HP,Dell ,apple,lenovo,acer etc. also have a lot of problems...for eg. the battery of HP laptops wears out very soon,my friends got an HP laptop which he bought like a year n a half back...and his laptop's battery has totally worn out..so that he always has to use it while plugged in. I would also like to mention that Acer is the no. 2 company in laptops and u know i had sent them a mail sometime back when i wanted to enquire about their 4530 laptop..but they didnt reply for weeks!! and i jus mailed these zenith guys y'day and 2day i got a prompt reply along with the whole list of their laptops and prices...and this zenith director plus ultra as listed as having a price of 36K!(w/o tax)!! even lesser than i thought..If some company provides some high end config. at a cheaper price does that always have to mean that the product will be defective or something?!? I bet these MNCs like Dell,HP etc. always overprice their products.

Re: Zenith Director Plus Ultra Laptop
^^ You do have a point. Okay. yes. even big companies sometimes make crap products and that why forums like this are present. To help people choose the right model. One bad apple won't mean that entire basket of apples is bad.
I had mentioned earlier that if you want to go for Indian brands, pick HCL.
and yes, if someone gives a great config for dirt cheap price, I do doubt the quality of the product.
