I would like to know if HP has any model in 13 inch. Also i would like to know the best 13inch model in India. Apart from Dell XPS 13 inch version which is too expensive. maximum budget can stretch to 45000. i know there is a dv2 with external dvd writer but some friends are saying it wont be able to handle office applications and multi tasking smoothly. is this true? what games can be played on it? it has a 512MB graphics card also. should i go for it?

The HP dV2 carries a newer low power chip from AMD. NOTE that this is NOT a normal dual core processor and hence is a 'comparatively' slower processor.

The Vostro 13 will come in the same or even lower price range (considering the HP is 45k). Performance (excluding games) will be much better. You can also get the Vostro with a graphics card included as well. I am not sure on the cost. Anywhere between 40-50k range I guess.

Check with dell :)

Heres a review of the DV2: HP Pavilion dv2 Laptop reviews - CNET Reviews

Get it ONLY if form factor is very very important since its performance is nothing to write home about. Even battery life is strictly average.

EDIT: Even the Inspiron 13 in the 45k range is a good option :) Not available directly from Dell, only through retailers.

I may have jumped the gun. The dell India site no longer explicitly mentions it there, but it may still be available to retailers directly. Check in the market.

It comes in 2-3 standard configs though.

Also, look at the Studio 14 as well. Thats a good laptop too :)

then get acer 4736 not the "z"

its c2d T6400 @ 2.0ghz

3gb ddr3ram

320gb hdd

14inch screen

with carry case

35k all inclusive!!

otherwise i seriously think that acer 4736z is complete vfm at 30 k

2gb ram is more than enough moreover its ddr3 and not ddr2!!

acer service is vastly improved now!!

here in punjab good service centres all over, no issues at all!!
