With a budget of 25-30k you'll have limited options. A couple that come to my mind are celeron based notebooks from
Acer and
HP/Compaq. Compare their specs and go for the one which offers more bang for the buck. My friend owns
a low-end Compaq
laptop and from what i've seen, it can handle routine tasks like surfing, listening to
music, running light/medium apps etc quite comfortably and looks quite decent too. [/b]
I went to the market today and had a look.
Boy, it was confusing.
But, I zeroed in on on two contendors.
Acer travelmate 2424 nwxci - Rs. 31,500
Lenovo C100 0761D7A - Rs. 35,000
Lenovo was offering extra gooding like free
adsl router and reliance data card worth 6000 bucks. Lenovo also had 4.5 hours battery life (8 cells), 915 GM chipset.
Acer in comparsion offered 2.5 hours battery (6 cells), it had 910GML
intel chipset.
I don't know whta this 910, 915 means.
also, lenovo was 15' monitor. Acer was 14.1 inches but it was wider.
I am still rooting for acer, but I also like Lenovo's battery.
What is this 910 and 915 chipset thingy?
Can you recommend a laptop for me?
