Laptop Brand

[prateek203]

Thank God somebody replied. Well, I wanted to say that these laptop, specially that Lenovo one, is cheap in those U.S. site, and probably in your place. But that is much costly here. So I'm again thinking of Acer Aspire 5740. But now, I've decided that I won't be impatient, and I'll start from a scratch again.

I'm gonna start another thread, as the purpose of this thread is over (in moderators' language). I now know the reputation of various brands :)

Here's the link of new thread:

Please continue the discussion and suggestions/advices there. Thanks! :)

Low/Mid end Dells are horrible, High-end Dells are fine. Compaq is horrible and only a budget brand anyway. They rarely put out anything other than Celerons. Acer is just... bleugh. They potentially have the worst build of anything I've seen. For the love of god, don't get an Acer. HP and Dell are far better options, neither of which is great. Toshiba is the best for low end and Toshiba/Asus/Lenovo are the best for high end. I personally find the lower-end Lenovos to have flimsy cases and the lower Asuses have weak hinges/trackpads.

Uhh... they're a budget line. Unless you're a hardcore soliataire player, or don't mind Counterstrike 1.6 (albeit with low frames), they're horrible for serious use.

Dude, I can play Sims 3, Modern Warfare 2, almost any game I please. I haven't even replaced the video card. (Durr, you can't unless you replace the MB)

Well the laptop I was going to buy earlier, is 26,500 INR with linux, and 32,500 INR with Windows 7. And, if I buy Windows 7 separately, it's 5,800 INR (which is approximately the different both OS versions)
32,500 - 26,500 = 6,000
~ 5,800

[INR is the currency here.]

Alright, I've decided. I'm not sticking to Core 2 Duo just for the 32-bit process. If I'll encounter any problem like this, I'll use my desktop computer for that application. So now I'm entering the Core i-series. i3 or i5 would be great. i7 would be much costly, I assume. The Lenovo laptop you suggested seems really damn great. I want to buy it at once, but now I'm gonna explore other Lenovo laptops too, and Dell & Acer with i-series processors. Anyways, what's the speciality in ThinkPads you were talking about? I see them on the Lenovo website too...Are they some specific group or what?

If you can open this website, can you tell me is your model here? I don't find it anywhere...Rs. is the currency (Another way of writing INR :P )

Notice the systems having "Free-DOS" OS. It means that they do charge for Windows OS. I'll buy a DOS one.

[OMG somebody reply so that I can make another post. This single post is getting too long.]

It may vary where you live and by manufacturer, but in the US, Microsoft pays manufacturers to exclusively bundle their OS with their systems, so the price is the same if they don't offer other options. With manufacturers that offer Linux or FreeDOS or no OS at all, there will be a price difference because they're not receiving the bonus from Microsoft.

I guess I'll close the thread if you made another one, though.
