I was looking to buy a laptop for my mom. The budget is upto 40k max but 38k would be ideal. So, I dragged Anuj (200mph) with me to NP and we shortlisted some models. We left out stuff like Acer 4736 since the brand and looks are important also. Two models that we finalised are:

Now,
The Compaq has a lower price and more ram, but, the Toshiba has a 16:9 led screen, an esata port and wifi-N. The Toshiba looked better, so, Anuj and I thought that the Toshiba was fine. I'm buying the laptop tomorrow. Any suggestions? I left Dell out because the Inspiron was too thick and didn't have an hdmi port.
