Buying A Laptop

Hi ppl,
I didnt find any thread on buying a laptop abroad on pagalguy, so I am asking the question here, If it already exists plz redirect me.

I am getting a laptop from abroad, I havent decided the exact specifications or the company : . However, I hv a few questions;
  1. With all the duty cuts in the last budget, would i really get a good deal abroad
  2. Are international warranties honoured in India
  3. Would there b a problem if a company is not offering a product in india that i may get from abroad
  4. And some info abt the custom duties and other levies
:confused: :confused: :confused:
Plz advise ASAP. I will b getting it in 2 weeks time. All those laptop gurus plz help me out. My budget is around 60k including everything but I can b flexible on non-essentials like software and accessories


International warranties are usually NOT honoured in India.

Check deals2buy.com for good deals ..
60K is quite high ..
You can get a high end config for around 45K-50K(max)

Got ur mail.
Thanks a lot, Mukesh.
I hav decided on Sony Vaio SZ28GP/C.
Having a bit of apprehension bout the 13.3" screen.
Will hav a look at it 2morrow and then finalise.
Wat ya think bout this one.

wow u choose the best model of sony, this is bold and beautifull model, very light wieght and 13. 3 screen is very attractive neither big as bulky nor small to see.
i have one suggestion also though u choose the best but if budget is not a problem then u can see also fujitsu laptops.
fujitsu laptops are pure beauty, i m sure u will like thathttp://www.fujitsu.com/in/services/computing/notebook/
