Re: [AI] Your views on the following configuration
Bottom line: not very good. A Celeron processor just doesn't have the power to drive vista. 1 gb ram is not sufficient for vista either (or for a lot of new software) - go for 2 gb. 80 gb hard disk is something most vendors replace with 120 or 160 gb for free these days. Look at lenovo R series laptops if you have someone who can get you one from the US. I saw some very good deals on good config lenovos while shopping around for someone.

Re: [AI] Your views on the following configuration
Hi everyone, Thanks for your views. This is costing US $449+$31 tax. As for as the quality of the processer is concern, Celeron processers are generally considered as slow, but they have improved a lot. Although 1GB can be slow with Vista, it is okay for the Vista home basic edition and one can always expand the memory in future. I bought the system yesterday and so for it is working great! Although I am yet to make configurational changes to JAWS and let's how it works. Also the usage of flash disk as the memory booster is something that I am going to try out and I already have a 4GB flash disk and if it works well, then I'll allot it solely for that purpose. Let's see how it works and I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again. Vetri.

Re: [AI] Your views on the following configuration
Hi Vetrivel This is a good configuration, but what is its price? How long is the battery life? I think Intel Pentium processor will do much better, but it's not that important, you can get a good performance from Celeron also.
