Okay this is the final say on the HP dv5118tx laptop.

Final pricing.. Rs 61,000 (Incl of all taxes)

The Link will be put up tomm morning for users to access it. Username/Pwd will be known tomm, and it will be a common one for everyone. More detailes will be up tomm.

Also MP3 players are out of stock. So all the laptops will be shipped with Backpacks. (Sorry to disappoint a few of you :() Internet card will be provided, by the Operator though.

The deal will be valid till the 25th of May, which I guess is a pretty decent time.
