For 40k, dont go for Acer. Not upto the mark when compared with Dell, Hp and the likes.

Best bet is Dell Inspiron 1525. You have my word.

STAY AWAY FROM ACER!! Thats my personal openion. Go for Inspiron 1525@37K and you'll be more than happy, its great. And go for the CompleteCover warranty, complete peace of mind.

^^ Personal experience with repairs or something of your old acer laptop; isnt it?

But from my experience, Travelmates arent bad. Of course, if you are talking about service, then Acer SUCKS!!!

^^Dont laugh buddy, My majority of work and play involves my laptop and at the time when i was stuck with Acer i was a student and i bought this laptop with my savings. So when it fall back to its knees on the third day of purchase you may understand what i felt.

And ya, its the service part that sucks. you may have read my previous posts so i wont repeat it here. Travelmate series was good. There were only certain glitches specially with my model. For example the IDE controller was ripped off of the secondry controller and both CDWriter and HDD were on a single IDE channel which made things slow. The paint on the outer side of the Lid was getting off just after three months of very careful usage and the Wifi stopped working for apparently no reason in just 5 months. What do you call it? Great piece of hardware? And FYI i have proper earthing and all in my home, and all my electrical points where i use laptop and computers have spike busters installed, so it was not my fault.

And to top it all the kind of service they provided, how come i recommend Acer to anyone and get cursed by the poor soul afterwards

^^ Are you nuts? Dell Inspiron 1525 has WiFi!!! In fact, all laptops manufactured since last 2-3 years have WiFi.

^ ya Inspiron 1525 as well as all other modern lappys have wifi. Inspiron 1525 has the Dell 1395 Minicard capable of 802.11b/g signalling. You also have the option to upgrade to the 802.11b/g/n card. Go ahead and get an Inspiron 1525, if your requirements dont include heavy duty graphics usage, you wont regret your purchase. Its an awesome lappy, runs quiet cool even after 2 day/night contineous usage with 2-4 hours of gaming (Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil currently for me ) per day.

Dont know about Compaq's lower end models, i don't find them very good,configuration wise. But ya compaq is a good brad. HP (Compaq's owner) have very good laptops but are priced on a bit higher side. They are great anyways.

Toshiba makes great laptops but their keyboard layout sucks! And they are expensive...yeah..

Dell is not hell. In fact its one of the most prestigious company in laptop market. Their products are of very high quality and their Customer Service rocks!

About Acer .... ya well i guess i shouldn't speak more, i guess everybody on this forum must be aware of my story but anyways, i agree
