Hey Puys

Just had a chat with some seniors in BIM, and they have informed me that Dell does not offer any bulk deals on BIM campus...

Morever, he was not that in favour of Dell, as there is no service centres and the fact that Indian dell laptops are manufactured in Malaysia only..!!

Acer, HP and Compaq have their service centres in Trichy and the majority in BIM uses HP.

So, now we gotta take a call on whether we pursue with Dell or go with the majority for a HP bulk deal ??!!!

well varun i like the inspiron deal 1420 and 1520 though not having a service centre in trichy could be a major problem. As far as HP is concerned i doubt there should be any defects as mentioned by a couple of our seniors (maybe these were just a few cases) my brother is using an HP laptop (since 2 yrs now) and he hasnt facd ne such problems.The toshiba specs i guess are just average esp the processor.i would suggest a processor of at least T5... series T2.. is pretty old.

Compaq and acer im not too sure but the fact is that acer laptops are damn cheap. Even without bulk offers if u go have a look at ne croma store u could get a great deal in between 41-43k.The advantage again of these two would be the service centres.

If neone from trichy could find out wht kind of bulk deals are being offered it would make our decision that much more simple. At least a rough idea of the specs and prices. trust me acer would be cheapest (thogh im not sure of reliabilty) HP as far as i know is reliable and compaq no idea.

Dude, Dell has only one service centre in India ( in Bangalore I guess..!!)

As for Acer, yeah they are damn cheap...shall ask KK about HP deals coz that seems to be the favorite among BIMiites..!!!

HP looks good and performance is good too...esp the petra nemcova n serena williams ads..!!!

Hmmm..... HP is fine with me.. Only problem with the DELL deal is the service centre....

Anyways, does anyone have the specs of the HP notebook we're discussing abt??

yep i guess HP would be the best choice for us if we looking for reliabilty and service.Acer if we want good value for money. dont think any of us here have any information on compaq. Whts with the orkut community is there any consensus on there (im not on orkut so i dont know).

As of now even though the dell deal looks great i would still wanna wait on an HP or even an ACER deal.I think once we meet up in college we would have at least 20+ ppl opting for a particulr brand so discounts can be worked out. Im in no real hurry to get my hands on a laptop now. After sales service is aslo important especially when u talking electronics thats the only reason for having second thoughts about dell.
