Hi! I have been looking around for a laptop which is somewhat Linux friendly, and is cheap and offers good value for money. Till now have been finding Dell Inspiron 5150 quite attractive. Have any of you had any experience with it?
From my brief reading on various google links, Dell's support is quite pathetic. Other than hardware problems, have any of you had any problems which require their tech support? I spotted a person at Baazee (http://www.baazee.com/jsp/BidForm.jsp?Trade_TradeId=26559397) offering one for about Rs. 60k. However, for several reasons I would find it more secure to buy it from a proper dealer, than trust one of these kinds(with no sales history, hardly any details of shop, etc.). Do any of you know some good Dell dealers in Delhi who can give a good price? Lastly, is cheap finance for laptops available on any brand like IBM, Dell etc. available in Delhi? I mean some thing like an instalment plan for payment? In that case I can consider upping my budget currently about Rs. 60-70k. Any other suggestions of laptops are welcome. I would like one which offers wifi, atleast 40GB HDD, 15"+ monitor, and till I am sure about linux compatibility - preferably no Centrino. (The Dell one is probably Centrino though :-P ). I heard even Dell 600m is nice.
