While reserching for laptops on the internet,I read somewhere that dual processor arent suited for laptops coz of the overheating factors.They are best suited for desktops.
A little bit of researching mite help.

I agree ... a dual core in a laptop would mean that you will have to turn the AC ka mooh on the laptop.... have not seen anyone with a dual core tho.

Inspiron 6400 is a good machine... highly portable and would servive your regular wear and tear.

Most of the Managers in Dell;use Inspiron series laptops so it has been real weather tested in the mean streets of Bangalore Hyderabad and Chandigarh.

Am not sure the Intel Duo generates that much heat also!!

While a slightly old article, it does make for good reading regarding Dual Core processors for Laptop

Have read quite a few reviews and the final analysis is that it has very good sound and battery back up while the looks could be better (this aint a Vaio of course!).

Any comments?

Any Comments About Apple ibook?
Hi ppl...
like to have some valuable comments from your side. If anyone has used apple pls revert back with its performance. Also need some value additions regarding the difference/disadvantages of working with mac os as compared to windows. I do not have any mac user nearby, so have to depend on your valuable inputs only. This is a bit urgent !! i am

Posting a little outside the boundary of this thread ..

is it possible to make a Cellphone+Ipod+Carspeakerphone kit +car audio system talk via bluetooth /radiowaves.

the plan is to have music in Ipod which can play in the car audio speakers and calls on the cellphone which can also be played aloud via the car audio speakers.

Comments solicited.

hey harsh

if u r looking at making the entire system wireless then i think its not yet possible as the music systems dont support bluetooth/wi-fi

but maybe it will soon be available..

cheers

hey,

have used the apple notebook of a frnd and i find the performance really amazing when compaed to a similar spec windows run system. the display is something u can just not beat. but the catch is software compatiblity. besides software for mac systems are not readily available in india..

if u r looking at using the system mainly for net surfing, office work and movies/music.. then u might as well go for it.. but if your use goes beyond that to gaming, trying out new softwares and other nick nacks, u better stick to windows..
