*bump* *bump*
A clarion call to the self-confessed LAPtop experts (yes I do mean the computer related lap tops..) around here....after an enervating 6 hrs of lappie shopping the finalselection was clinched by that eternal smile of the ravishing sales executive in the HP showrrom..which lasted all fo 20 seconds btw..:whathat:
Anyway any idea about the performance of the following model...? COMPAQ PRESARIO V4122TU The price tag is at 57k odd.... Err...worth the price...? What say...? Girish...! | | | | | | | |

howz IBM Thinkpad.. plz suggest me some good model.. | Ravi, I've bought a laptop 7 months earlier and I'd suggest the same to you. This is COMPAQ V2448aAP, a very good lappy I guess. When I was buying it, I searched for every laptop(range till 90K) in the market and finally, I decided to buy this. In the market, only 2 laptops were better than Compaq V2 series.......that was SONY Vaio and Apple. I guess, my decision was gud coz my laptop has been listed in 100 products of the year and the best laptop of the year.
The price is around 65K and the config is:- Intel Centrino Pentium M processor 1.7 GHz, 512MB RAM, 80 GB HDD, DVD/CD Writer & Labeller, Bluetooth/wireless LAN, 5-in-1 card reader, 14.1" Widescreen with best 16:9 aspect ratio, touchpad, 3 USB ports, Win XP Home.
Consider it too, I hope u'll like it..

Ravi,
How badly do you need to buy the laptop? Can it wait awhile? Intel has already launched its dual core mobile processor and AMD is following suit.
With a little patience, you should have 1 heck of a laptop. | | | | | | | |

All of today's laptops run on Single core processors. I am sure that you know that Dual Core processors are also available.However these were only for desktops. Recently ( as in last week) Intel introduced its "Core Dual" processor for laptops. It was well receieved. The performance benefits of a dual core are far better that your HT technology which is now bombing quite badly.
AMD has announced that it will launch its version of the Dual COre later this year.
However what you do have to realise is that these will not be cheap. Currently the AMD dual core retails at 30k+ for a desktop. It makes more sense to run a dual core on your dekstop than your laptop. Again,battery life will be a major factor. Do you want nearly twice the computing power at 1/2 the battery life??
Most B-school students can manage extremely well with a single core processor and a dual core would be overkill for them. It all comes down to what you want that laptop for.
