Thanks funkypratik,
i would be going for mba studies.. so have to relly look into the s/w compatibility and stuffs !! Please suggest if u know how it is going to fit the purpose.
Hoz Cubit / eSys ???
Both are god damn cheap
But are they worth it ??
Afterall its a question of my dad's hard earned money
Hi puys,
I'm also in the hunt for a good notebook..
Btw , just had a look at the config for dell. Whats the diff in having a single 1024MB RAM card and 2*512MB card , both are DDR2 models, Clock speeds also similar... There's a huge proce diff on this . Any gyaan on this?
in that case i wud say u better stick with windows. some of the software u will be heavily using is EXECL and WORD.. i am not sure if these are available for the MAC system. if its not u might be in trouble sharing ur work with ur frnds..especially when workin in a group..
try google to get more info abt this..
cheers
most of the b-schools now have made a laptop compulsary.. and besides its always better to have a laptop coz of the portablity factor. and the campuses are all wi-fi enabled so u can be connected to the world on the move
besides most brands have now laptops startin from as low as 30k which is pretty much the cost of a PC.. so makes more sense to get a lappy
cheers

scenario1- u buy 2x512MB, it works well for now, but sometime later u decide to upgrade ur RAM, u'll definitely have to chuck one or both of ur RAMs and get one of a bigger memory...scenario2- u buy 1024MB RAM, it works well for now, and after a while u feel like upgrading it, so u still have a vacant slot, so just buy another RAM (whichever's available then) and plug it in and enjoy... this way u dont lose any memory that u had...well..all that talk about upgrading..i have many friends.who use laptops and i have been using too..trust me .
its not a feasible option..for many resons..
cost..and technology gets outdated so quickly..so u would be better off going for a new notebook than for a upgrade..
and u also have limited options.
...
wats the weight of the dell model ?
@maxter: I agree with 'The Gr8 One' that most laptops have 2 slots for the RAM. That's why, even on sites where you can customise your laptop, you'll normally find Memory option in 1 or 2 Dimm only. Anyways, I think a 1 GB RAM would suffice for the next 4-5 years atleast. Then, we can get a new one. 😃 So, no use of paying all the extra moolah for a 1-Dimm RAM yaar. "Utilize available resources to the maximum" -> that's what we ought to do as "managers", right??...:D 😁 :D
usually most lappies have only 2 RAM slots... so...
whereas,
that's my take on it...
if someone else has anythin else to add to it, please do...
HTH,

4-5yrs??:wow::shock::shock: You'll be lucky if your 1GbRam lasts you for 1 year LOL!! Most resources today recommend 512Mb RAM in 4-5years it'll be the equivalent of having 64Mb of RAM today 😁 :D
2x512 Dual Channel Memory will outperform a 1x1024 Single Channel Memory anyday.
Think of the2x512 as working with 2 hands sorting out 2 different things. You'll be working faster than working with 1 hand sorting out the 2 things
And you'll also get a decent price for your Dual Channel memory when you eventually decide to dispose of it.
well..all that talk about upgrading..
..so u would be better off going for a new notebook than for a upgrade..
and u also have limited options.

hey neo,
single channel and dual channel... i'm really confused now...
i thought his query was bout 2 sticks of 512MB each Vs. one stick of 1024MB...
well i agree with u there..u would obviously add some ram..
but the point i wanted to make is no way should u expect that
are going to change everthing else..like a desktop..
and apart from ram or maybe a hdd ur options are limited.

This should make things a little clearer for you

And trust me -- the 2sticks are better than the 1 stick

When Neo says something about Comps, you better agree.
That HP model is one hell of a machine. I am looking for laptops something in the range of 60-70k. The other model I am looking is the Dell Dual Core Laptop.
Someone tell me how long this 6 cells and 9 cells batteries last ? And also, wrt Graphics cards, ATI et al come out with diff cards for desktops and Lappies ?
lol, sorry neo, but just one more question...
scenario...
one lappie-2 slots->
2x512MBs or1x1GB , both at the same freq et all... both DDR2...
what would u say?
PS> thanks for the link...
