[QUOTE="MHG, post: 980859, member: 33122"] 275 ? You sure ? I think All eMachine laptops in India are EM7xx in model number. Can you compare it with another laptop for build quality ? Like Dell Inspirion 14/15, Acer 5738 Series, and normal Compaq Laptops ? As for RAM, I can manage because Windows XP (for my dad) and ArchLinux 64bit KDE (for me) never cross 1GB usage... Besides I will mostly add an extra GB if I get a good bargain on the price. Issues I find with this: 1. Less than half the processing power - single core 1.4 compared to dual core 2.2. 2. Microscopic screen compared to the 15.6" on eMachines. 3. 25% higher cost which is above my budget of 20k plus taxes. Ofcourse I am justified in comparing it with a netbook because shopkeepers keep thrusting EEEPCs towards me whenever I ask for a 20k laptop and I am sick of telling them that an atom delivers quarter the performance of a PDC T4300/T4400. I want the best bang for my 20 grands and battery life is not an issue as long as I get atleast 2 hours (its the max duration of a regular power cut in my area). The Indian version seems quite different from the versions I find online and so are the configurations. Here there are many different weird configs. So I asked if someone already bought this thing. Hell yeah. Expect a detailed review of every nook and corner of this laptop :hap2: update: turns out it IS e275 and not EM775... [/QUOTE]
