PC Peripherals Laptop Confusion

[Knight Rider]

A friend of mine is selling his acer inspire 3002 (3002lci) For 15k, From whatever I heard, acer has stopped production of this model. I asked the acer mall guys and were quoting 25k for it. What would you guys recomend? If I am going for a new laptop, My budjet is max 35k.. Want to install visio, Surf the net and play some games... I am really confused:S so any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Team, Would really appreciate if I get a reply for the same, Because I am picking it up tommorrow......

I wouldnt advise you on that model as it is outdated and it is a bit slow. It also heats up a lot. Either go for Compaqs other series with Intel Celeron M processors or for Acer laptops.

You seriously want to consider Celeron M ? Sheesh! Please go with Pentium M at least

^^The performance isnt that bad, and its very good value. A celeron D processor of today is just the pentium M processor of yesterday.

celeron M is actually very close to the performance of a Pentium M cpu. Barely 5-10% difference in the performance in all benchmarks.

The only thing it lacks is the speed step technology.

fo 15k, its's a nice bargain (assuming the laptop is in a decent condition)

Thanks a lot for all the replies team, I bought the compaq(specs mentioned above) with 1 g.b ram, Can run nfs underground with the highest resolution and all the features enabled to the maximum.. No overheating issues as of now, What can I say i am happy, Waiting to get the free reliance data card.. Any opinions about it???

And pardon my ignorance, What is speed step technology??

 

[superczar]

What is speed step technology

Speed step enables your proccy to throttle itself down when under low utilization thereby reducing power consumption and thus improving battery life
