Can u pls gimme dell support number (customer care)

Confusions galore !!

Guys give whatever input you can:


1080p full HD screen ??: I was thinking of going for studio 15 mainly for the option of upgrading to hd screen. Also the artist editions are cool (but expensive too so if you guys have got it give some feedback).
But now from what I heard, full hd doesnt add much as far as a 15 inch screen goes. The effect is hardly noticeable and browsing and readability suffers. But desktop utilization improves for sure.
Is it true , is full hd worth it.. suggestions plz !!

If not opting for full HD, then I will mostly go with sony eb 14. The numeric keyboard and quick web access thingy are real handy. Any other models which I can consider (both for full HD and normal)

Seems ppl here prefer dell over sony.. can anyone give some info about sony after sale services..??


config ?? I was looking at dell studio with foll upgrades:

full HD
2 yrs complete accidental cover (btw 1 yr cover is arnd 800 and for 2 years they are charging 4k..??)
Artist design (expensive and can be done away with)
Soundblaster

With all this it comes to 54k. any suggestions for additions subtractions..?? how much discount should I expect?
What kinda battery backup can be expected at full HD..?? 9 cell needed..??

Do pour ur ideas

thanks

Hey Stricken,

The thing about HD screen should be true. Lets say that you plan to watch a movie on your laptop...now, unless it is HD in nature, you may not see it any different from another laptop which does not has HD screen.
You can realize the full potential for HD screen only if you have HD content to play.

About artist editions, well its your personal choice...if it suits your budget, go for it. Also, I may suggest that you actually forego artist edition and buy cheaper non artistic laptop with same configuration and use the balance to buy some other stuff like external hard disk, pendrive, etc.

When it comes to Dell and Sony...I would prefer Dell. I DO NOT have any prior experience of Sony or Dell, but I know it for sure that Dell's core competency is laptops and computers while Sony's is consumer electronics like TV, music player, gaming consoles, etc. So, Dell ought to better that Sony in terms of pricing and after sales service. Also I have herd that Dell's support is much better. Moreover Sony tends to overcharge certain items because of its brand. Please do keep in mind that Sony might actually produce very good items, but somehow I feel that they are not justified for the price charged by Sony.

Also, if you live in Delhi or if your college is in Delhi, I suggest that instead of buying the laptop online, you purchase it from Nehru Place. I know certain shops which can give discount on the MRP of the laptop you see on the website. I would also suggest you to consider HP laptops since I have used them and they are very durable. Also pretty neat to look at.

If you need or anyone needs any info, feel free to PM me.

Hey demon
Thanks a lot.

Request other guys to add some inputs too on the above queries particularly full HD and sony after sale service

The sony vs dell comparison sounds right and logical..

I will be joining mdi, so Nehru place is an option I can explore. U mentioned the rates there being better than online, but are they better than the online ones after the vat and other discount offered by dell (read here that one can avail of 8% discount, guys plz confirm). Ppl seem to prefer online buying. Also can I get a customized laptop at Nehru palace, or the vanilla ones are the only options?

Will mostly go for dell studio with full HD, 2 yrs warranty, sound blaster, back lit key board and 9 cell battery.. Suggestions welcome

You mentioned HP.. Can you suggest some good models which can be looked into?

Regarding Sony's service

Sony has only carry-in service warranty till now, heard that they have started onsite service warranty recently. But Sony does not have full accidental cover. So in this aspect Dell is better since its giving Full accidental cover option. Also Sony's warranty costs much more that Dell's.

IMO, if you are living in Metro or big cities and do not want accidental cover, then you will not be suffered for Sony's service. The extra cost for Sony can be compromised by its looks & fell .

If anyone is confused about the terms, then its for them

Carry-in Service : If any problem occurs in your lappi, you have to carry that to the respective service centre.(anyway toll-free helpline is available for the warranty period).

Onsite Service : If any problem occurs in your lappi,call customer care, their technician will come to your door

Full accidental cover : If you spill water over your keyboard, your lappi is insured in that scenario also . Dell has this service option. Sony has only Manufacture's warranty.

hello puys.
i have sony ea14 can any body tell how to play dota on it on full screen ,as of now it is not coming on the full screen.


Thanks.

Hey ...
I did check the prices for Dell laptop on Dell showroom and another shop...and rates on Dell's website appear to be CHEAPER!!! I stand corrected now....

While Dell's showroom said that Studio 15 costs 50K, website was giving it for about 47K.

I am not aware of getting a laptop customized at Nehru Place...
If you need to look at HP laptop....I suggest that you look at DV6 series...
