Laptops 60k

[Keane 16]

Which one to get. Shouldn't be too heavy. Core 2 duo. Preferably a gig of ram.

Dell XPS M1210... 12", 1.98kg .

 

[Keane 16]

Is it within 60k ?

 

[Switch]

About 63K... Its a shame if you dont ask for discounts from DELL...

 

[Keane 16]

^^huh ? :S:S

Ask them for discounts on their hotline ?

 

[Unrealistic]

They usually assign a sales rep to you once you send in your configuration. When you talk to them on the phone, they tend to negotiate quite a bit.

 

[Keane 16]

Call up their hotline right ? How much is the quite a bit ?

 

[Switch]

You tell them you have a budget of 55K and go forward from there...

 

[Keane 16]

Do i tell them that I want the XPS 1210 with .... configuration or act as if I'm still considering several options ? :S

You tell them you have a budget of 55K and go forward from there...

when they call you...tell them u cant spend a paisa more than you budget (say 55K)...and then ask for waiver of taxes n octroi n stuff...
Also they will offer you some warranty n stuff at a discounted price...then u say...u'd rather have something else(wat u really want) at a discounted price..and they usually oblige...

I have done it

Before all this..Are you sure you'd be fine with a 12"er?

Weighs a bit more with the 9 cell battery. And for some reason it feels heavy too.

Hey akshit, before you buy the laptop can you tell me the price you are being offered? I have a friend who works in dell and most probably can get a better price for you.

Raghu.

 

[Keane 16]

Will do. Thanks.

 

[true_power]

hey Unrealistic, could you tell us how much you paid for your notebook and where you got it from ?.

12"er is what you call a laptop.. 15/17 is nothing more than a desktop replacement...

@ akshit - Go for the XPS, its a stunning beauty

 

[Keane 16]

K. thanks fellas.

LOL..I guess it about personal preferences..I feel a 12"er is really very small..Though it offers ultra-portability, but then again isn't really as good for multimedia, say watching a flick..
I prefer a 14"er over that..Best of both worlds u see..

 

[Anish]

^ Well I havent really seen 14"ers around, guess very few companies offer them.

Actually a 15"er is decent enough, unless it crosses 3kgs, but as you said, its a very personal issue

As far as laptops go - Smaller=Better .
