Hi friends ! Waiting for your responses to my question on buying a laptop, forwarded below. Will appreciate feedback from members who have purchased recently so that my friend can learn from their experiences and avoid costly mistakes, if any. The budget can be upto Rs 40 - 45 k and let us help this brilliant student buy the best brand and configuration to aid her studies in the next 4 years.

A student doing her second year degree course in Kerala is planning to purchase a laptop immediately. The laptop should be able to serve her requirements at least till she completes her PG which implies, if I guess correctly, it would need to be compatible to Vista and Vista-based applications, even though she may be running it on Win XP for the time being. Kindly advise the features one needs to incorporate from this forward compatibility angle. Specifically, will it need a 64 bit processor ? Since most of the Vista's much-touted graphics will be lost on us, is there any need for 1 GB RAM or Direct X.10 compatible Graphics card right now ? And, can we settle for a smaller screen size (12.1 inch) as it makes little difference for us ? Would appreciate if you could share your experiences with various brands and configurations, specifically with performance, ease of operation and after sales support points in mind.
