hi ppl,
I've relocated to chennai for a while now and i don't have any plans of getting my desktop here. So i thought i would go for a laptop.
My Budget is >35K.After going through the forum, i've narrowed my search to Dell Inspiron series and as usual i have some doubts.
1)I do NOT want vista, On the Dell site there was no option for choosing linux which i'll be using.So do i have any option of opting out of Vista?
2)I've seen the Acer configurations and they seem to be a good VFM, but i've heard bad reviews on their battery life.So can i have more info on Acer laptops within my range.
3)Toshiba laptops were recommended long time back, but i do anot hear anything abt them.Are they good now?
4)Also i've read abt Centrino 2 technology, but i've noticed its available only on DELL studio/XPS laptops.Is is really needed?I've read abt it and its basically intel products integrated, does it live upto the hype?
Any other suggestions?
My Budget <35K
Usage: Programming,Movies,Music...
Brand: A Good brand with good After Sales Support
I would prefer VFM laptops with a good battery life
Regards
