[AI] Buying a Laptop
Dear Sir, I think it is better to go for a laptop with 4 GB RAM and also an expandable slot of 8 GB RAM. Primarily 2 GB might be sufficient today but may become obsolete in 6 months time when Office 2010 or higher is launched. Also one / two years down the line, Microsoft may come out with a new OS which require 4 - 8 GB RAM. Unlike desktops, it is not possible to feedle with configuration of laptop due to space constraint. Hard disks can be supplemented from outside using external hard drives but external RAMs are not in vogue. Further I expect a laptop to remain functional for a minimum of 4 - 6 years before planning to buy a new one.

Re: [AI] Buying a Laptop
Amit, I think you should look at the netbooks forget about the notebooks. The netbooks are cheaper. They have enough power to run all the applications we want. They are easy to carry and dont trouble your back. A lot of accesindians are suffering from back trouble. If you can live with a small keyboard then please go for the netbooks-the company and model numbers dont really make much of a difference. I dont really think that you can wait for 6 years to change your hardware-I think every 3 years makes sense therefore a cheaper model is better. I currently use an assus prior to which I used to lug a heavy dell around. I dont travel anywhere without the assus but I used to hate carrying the dell notebook. Its not macho anymore so dont worry about being seen with a small cute toy.

[AI] Buying a laptop
Hi folks ! 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. Thanks in advance and regards RS M: 98 472 76 126 To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Buying a laptop at Hyderabad...
Dear Harish: For my benefit and for the wider benefit of the list, can you appraise us on the price points of laptops available. Because, I was intending to buy a laptop last year, believing HP's add of a laptop for Rs 29990, but it turned out the additional expenses, such as the OS costs were excluded from that and I had to drop the idea since the laptop would finally cost Rs 42,000.

Hi Sudhir I can help her get a better deal at Hyderabad. But let her settle for the model. For that budget one could get a good system. There are so many considerations, keyboard layout, weight, Battery backup time etc which are of individual preferences. I would suggest she has a look at it herself. I suppose performance should not be an issue, for, all the laptops in that range are good.

Dear friends, Reem, who is doing her first year PG at CIEFL, Hyderabad is planning to buy a laptop to better facilitate her studies. She wants to finalise a configuration, make and model based on her limited budget (around Rs 40 k), availability of service (preferably onsite, since she has mobility problem) at Hyderabad, and the fast-changing hardware and software scenario. Kindly share your experience with the various makes of laptops, especially if you have purchased one recently. You can also kindly provide contact info of good, reliable vendors at Hyderabad to help her get good quotes, proforma invoice (for a bank loan) etc. Please treat this as urgent since she wants to finalise before the end of Dec, 2006.
