14 pages of discussion and not a single mention of Fujitsu..
Everyone seems to be taklin abt the configs but not much about weight.... I personally feel tat anythin above 3kgs gets too heavy espicially in the long run...
A P4 system is great but it will weigh upwards of 4kgs... takes the portability out of the laptop... that's what makes samsung or sony vaio laptops great...
but at the same time.. compromising on screen size is not advisable coz a 10' screen makes it real difficult to read off... and the keys get crowded together too...
I'm geting myself a Fujitsu system S series... here are the specifications...
Pentium M processor 1.8Ghz with bluetooth
512 mb Ram
Integrated graphics(upto 64mb shared).
60Gb hdd(5200 rpm)
DVD / CDRW Combo
14.1" Xvga Screen
Atheros a/b/g wireless Lan integrated
Win XP Home
touchpad and quickpoint
A fingerprint Reader too
The best part of the system is its weight... 1.9kgs with battery and drive and 1.7kgs without the dvd drive... its a removable slot.. and u can add an extra battery too...
the price is a little steep... it cost me Rs79000 buying it in the states includind tax and everyhtin and they threw in a 512mb usb memory stick with it. It came with a 1 year international warranty and they do have service centres in most places in india... they have one at b'lore.. tat's where i'm headed...
the same specs on a VAIO would cost atleast Rs15000 to 20000 more and a samsung costs even higher... the thing abt samsumg is that they have no presence in the states and the prices in other places like UK is the same as in India.
So i feel this was a real good deal coz i can use it for a good 2 years after i finish skool...
Comments welcome...

dunno much abt Dell latitude but i have read a few reviews on inspiron 600m the problem with it is that it heats up quickly on the left hand side causing discomfort.
from US u can get Dell at reasonable prices (depending on ur config). just check out the site www.deals2buy.com they offer discount coupons on Dell Lappies.

How did u say the price is It isnt mentioned anywhere in the site. Is that price before/after bargaining (bulk deals) ?

Hi
The price was quoted by someone at Trifin Tech. its the company which runs an Acer point and mall at NP. to be precise it was, 47,500 (whether it includes tax or not, i am not sure) anyway, add a 4% vat.....and, no I didn't enquired abt a bulk deal. Let me know if u do.
If you haven't notice this particular model has 915 chipset (code name Sonoma) which is way cool, the only other model offering the same config. is perhaps an IBM for arnd 70k....
BTW the latest link you posted is not working...

Hi all,
I am gonna join IIITB this year...They are insisting every one to buy a Laptop from the institute...they also charge 60 K for this....All i know is, thats gonna be a Compaq notebook..I have no idea about the configuration...If any one is having any other facts about this...plz do reply..Should i go in for a market Laptop..Or shall i get it from the institute ?
Lets assume a config...which would b cheaper...IIITB or Out side market (like Richie street...)
Thanks in advance,
