Spacescreamer

Spacescreamer

Innovator
Budget: 30k

Brand: Any

Basic Req: Java Programming.

Other Features: Dvd RW, Wi fi, Blutooth etc

Other Queries:

1) I am not aware as to how much will be good enough, but the RAM should be able to handle s/w like Eclipse Enterprise edition etc, and be able to run other apps in background. Torrent client etc.

So how much should i go for?

Will it be better to get the req RAM in original purchase or be upgrading later on ?

2) I generally dont like the 15.x screen size. Prefer more like 14incher.. is it possible?

Pls do suggest the 15.x" sized ones as well for options..

3) Matte Vs Glossy screen

Which ll be more easy on the eyes for the odd movie watching and not be messing the details at the same time?

Go for min 4GB, upgrade later if it doesnt void warranty (depends on company)

Matte: better for text

Glossy:Better for movies IF you have a decent environment in which to use the laptop

Look at a professional range (probook,vostro,etc) instead of consumer range(ideapad,inspiron,etc)

Processor is not a priority for you, an i3-2100 should be enough. But get enough RAM

Try the Thinkpad Edge. The core i3 version is within your range and will come with a matte screen.
