How about the Pavilion dv6502au/dv6602au? I just bought one last week from Pune. Cost: Rs.46250 inclusive of all taxes. I've posted a short review on my blog. I'll post a more detailed review on TE a little later.

The best way with the least hassles is to install a wireless card on the desktop (assuming it does not already have one). You can then copy files to and from the desktop to the laptop. The cheapest way is to buy a network cable and connect the two pcs. I believe it is called a 'crossover...

I've placed an order for a HP dv6502au. The 9502 was a wee bit too expensive after taxes and an upgrade to 2gb. The 6502has an identical config but with a 15.4" screen, which I can live with. Total price 46250 inclusive of all taxes and an upgrade to 2gb RAM. I'll be picking it up on...

I'm looking for a large capacity hard drive for my laptop. I need at least 200-250GB. Ideally I'd like something even bigger but 250GB was the biggest I could find on the net. How much would one of them cost & where can I get them either in Pune or Mumbai? Thanks

Thats actually the one I almost decided upon. But I feel that the additional performance is not worth the price. Most of the time I'd just be using Office, Firefox and SAP. The games I play are almost all strategy (tycoon) games or some really old DOS based abandonware games. The only time...

Any idea how much a 250gb 5400rpm hard disk will cost? Even a rough estimate will do. I need to close this deal fast! Thanks

How difficult is it to hack? Is it a software hack, or did you have to open up that gorgeous piece of art? Could you post a link?

Battery life is not *that* great a priority. As long as it gives me about 2 hours of use on a charge, I'd be happy. It's going to spend most of it's time plugged in. I upgraded the RAM on my dad's laptop from a HP authorized dealer. He charged me Rs. 1050 for a 512 MB stick. I thought it...

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a decent desktop replacement laptop by this weekend. It would be used for work as well as for leisure. My main uses would mainly be office apps and net browsing (I usually have 15-20 tabs open in Firefox at any given time). I would also like to use it for casual...

i had my dad's hp upgraded with a 512 mb stick at an authorized hp dealer in pune for rs.1050. hope it helps.

Where did you get that custom card from? and how much did it cost? Also if this is a custom built card, what about the availability of drivers? Would it be possible to get a newer video card for a laptop?

Thanks a lot for all your help ppl! I'll check out the options you've suggested.

A friend of mine is looking for a decent mobo for under Rs.5000. He's looking for an intel processor and intel chipset. The board should support c2d and ddr2 ram. Onboard graphics, lan & audio would be a big plus point. He's looking for stability and would prefer an intel-built board if it...
