Count me in too for the deal... ie. for Inspiron 6400
What would be better is that after finalising/negotiating on the basic configuration we should be able to customise (add/delete) components at added cost.

Well my configuration looks like this ... ATI X1400 is bettet than Nvidia Go7300.

Hi!

Count me in for the above config. only i wud prefer 9 cell battery. as for ram, lets go for single 1gb instead of 2*512 MB as tht wud help in upgrading later (in case of 2*512 u have to throw away both and buy 2 new 1 gb rams)

[motu_jacob]

Wot about Dell XPS and Latitude D-620 all the above models r pretty heavy as in 2.7 to 3 kgs

[ankit_ag123]

hi ppl i know we all would like certain additions or removal of certain things frm the laptop which is decided...so that is why let us decide on a basic model and its configuration and ill try to gt a good discount frm the dell ppl on it...after that ppl can add or remove components frm the laptop based on their on choices bt that will be at the market price...fr eg we decide on a laptop wth 6cell battery...and sme1 wants a 9 cell battery...he or she can gt it removed and gt the 9 cell battery added at incremental costs...

[ankit_ag123]

hi jacob u r rt the above models are heavy bt then sme ppl might have budgetary constraints..wat we can try to do is that if we can gt atleast 5 to 6 ppl fr dell xps or the dell latitude then we can negotiate on aanother bulk deal wth the dell ppl....

[ankit_ag123]

ppl pls start doing ur research on the kind off laptop and configuration that u would require so that we can deliberate on it and decide the model once the iims result come out then well c the thread actually heating up...also ppl pls pass on the message to ur frends who wd be intrested to buy laptops bcoz the more the merrier....

[sethhimanshu]

people count me in too

[ankit_ag123]

also jacob pls post the configuartion of xps and dell latitude which u have in mind along wth the price ranges...
also ppl if u have anyother model in mind pls post the name and number so that i can start a poll fr the same...as it will make it easier fr us to decide...
