hey, u may not have to pay any duty provided the person carrying it shows it as if he is using it and that it belongs to him. generally majority of the companies r offering an international warranty on their models so once u get ur piece u can transfer ur warranty from US to Asia database to avail free service in India for the stipulated period.

It will be really helpful if sum1 who has already purchased a laptop from US can guide me.... I was luking on the Dell website and they offer Limited warranty on most models. International warranty is not mentioned anywhere....

I think that it makes sense to ask the college authorities .Lemme Give u an example .If afer one year the college decides to install Wi-Fi, then u need to make sure that ur Laptop is Compatible with the Wi- Fi insallations in ur college , so that u can use it .So u see ,knowing the model which the college will prefer is importamt.

Dude, Im waiting! Do tell me abt the deal when ur cousin replies...
-- Get settled in the college and then decide whether or not to buy one according to the situation in the college and also u will be in a better postion to decide about its utility. --If u do decide to buy one, u will get a much better configuration at the same price then compared to today

well i have got the deal for around $1200 but unfortunately without an international warranty because it would have raised the cost by almost $400 (compulsory for 3 yrs) so i had to forego it. All in all i think its a good deal, regardless of international warranty.

Whats the configuration u went for?Did u by any chance use the coupons that are available for dell? Plus can someone who might have used the 128mb Ati Radeon X300 graphics card tell me how it actually performs when used for gaming.

Dell lappies can only b purchased online. discount coupon is available at deals2buy.com on the first page itself...dunno worry the steps r given there as to how one should go abt to avail the discount. well there r many service engineers of Dell throughout India therefore servicing it wouldnt b a problem, its just that i will have to pay instead of getting it done free of cost. and anyways i will be saving around 10k-15k so that more than offsets the warranty thing. the cost was $1143 which had gone upto $ 1210 because of taxes.

i'm not sure if 64 MB graphic card wud be able to play graphic heavy games....
i've narrowed down my choice to IBM thinkpad R series(the one iwth the ad in newspaper n upgraded hard disk 60 GB,dell inspiron 6000,and sony vaio B102 something series...
the prices of all the laptops are all around 60k....
dell users who have got their laptops,plz tell me abt the heating and if they find it heavy...
i'm clueless abt the IBM graphic card and cn i play heavy games on the think pad???

hey dude i m a lil confused abt this whole dell offer:huh: ...i managed to configure an inspiron 6000 with the below mentioned config for $ 1206 on dell website. this config is almost similar to wat dealstobuy.com has on offer rit now. So as per wat u say using a discount coupon i can or rather i will get a $ 300 waiver on this price which makes it somewhere close to $ 900 ?? somebody lemme know if this is TRUE coz i m lickin my lips thinking of the amnt of moolaah i mit end up saving with this deal coupled with this grt config !! 😃 😃 Secondly is this price is inclusive of all charges and taxes for a person in the US ? (I understand from the website tht shipping charges mayb levied for shipping to some particular states in the US) Lastly i m not sure why these websites give out free discount coupons in the first place, thgh i OBVIOUSLY dont mind availing them !

my cousin just made the deal for me today, i have all the things that u mentioned plus i have 80GB HDD and bluetooth as well. and i guess there is DVD writer 2. all this for $ 1137 including taxes and she did it by availing a coupon for $ 500. so dont worry the discount is true and there is no hidden cost involved. u can go ahead with the deal.

this isnt true coz dell keeps coming with its own offers like $250 off on the price and the discount coupons cannot be clubbed with dell's offer...so if u apply the coupon after finalizing the order,the dell discount gets cancelled....so u'd get the above lappie at around the mentioned price of $120....abt the taxes and everything....it is clearly mentioned in the dell website....it even allows u to estimate the taxes and shipping costs...i'm not sure if u have included the taxes yet...so check the site again...
