Budget 51-70k Planning to Buy Laptop from US and Get it Shipped to India, Advice Needed

[unni]

I am currently in US. I am planning to order a Dell laptop (along with a widi/miracast adapter) and sent it to India. Please recommend a good and reliable option. I don't mind even if it is slightly costly.

Then look at the Dell Inspiron 17r. The price in india is 90k+ but in US you can get it at 65k+. 30k difference man thats is huge..... :-D

17 is too big and bulky mate.

watching this thread : let us know the landing cost and customs you have to pay .

If you go conventional way of shipping via aramex or other couriers,5000-6000 for shipping and 5000-6000 for customs duty.

Total 10-12000.

It's 21$ for initial 500 grams. 3.95$ for the next 500grams with DHL/FedEx..


How does that convert to 5000-6000?

Because those are fedex dhl.rates and bound to be costly. Read my post again and you will.understand

Thats what I paid for my latitude6320.

Look at Lenovo and Dell outlet stores as well. I bought a Thinkpad T430 with a 180GB Intel 520 SSD and 3 year warranty for $730 inclusive of shipping and tax.

Mate its lesser than 5000-6000 is what I meant.

Okk.
Honestly,i think we should not let go good deal due to fear of shipping.
No problem prateek.
