Can you tell me how is the sound quality for it.....and moreover how much extra have you paid for it(mean hidden cost and delievery charges)..have you purchased it from outlet or ordered it from website


I found sound very good. Its loud n clear.

They charge 900 for delivery bt i got discount so all this cost got covered up.

I ordered online. As its the only way to get genuine product with DISCOUNT.

Its gonna cost u

31900+900(delvry chrgs)=32800

But ya if you can convince them for discount thn u may fetch discount of 3-4%.

So after discount it will cost u aroun 31500-31820 (approx)

Plus u may get a small gift u pay thru credit card.

(Like they give me a dell mouse worth rp 300 as a gift.)

You can also take name n number of dell agent from me who process my order. He can directly offer u some discount if u r a student.

i used 64bit windows 7 earlier on desktop.
I found problem in gettin drivers for 64 bit.
Plus java prblm too.

But in dell u have preloaded windows in ua laptop. saved in hard drive.

it comes with 64 bit preinstall. but u can install 32 bit windows 7 tooo.

U have got that option in dell. u can choose 32 or 64 bit .

I do not have any camera but buyin cyber shot soon. so il put photos by weekend.

One more info for all the puys,

If u order alone u may fetch 3% discount.

But If 10 or 10+ students order laptop together thru a same dell agent thn all can get 5-10% discount.

Advantages :

Ul get direct laptop from company coz all laptops will be delivrd at your doorstep.
Genuine product.
Big discount.

And remember more the quantity you order more the discount you will get.


If any puy interstd in knwng the complete procedure for it can send me pm.

hey guys I am confused between dell inspiron 14r and Acer 4740
both having the same configuration but acer is 4k less than the Dell.
What about the acer review(dint get much in this forum about acer)
anybody if have an idea please chip in.


bro i will always suggest Dell inspiron 15 priced at 36,900 wid 3GB ram and 320Gb HDD and Dell Studio 15 priced at 40,900

Dell reliability stands out , i myself going for the same

I would also suggest booking online , it will save u taxes and cut it down around 2-3k

all d best

Pros:
- they're aesthetically pleasing
- fast and, if you get the right machine, have amazing graphics (MacBooks DO display great graphics, but the graphics on the Mac Pro, MacBook Pro and iMacs are better)
- Comes with a lot of standard software that PC's don't (email client, photo album, calendar, etc)
- Very knowledgeable and helpful support should you need it
- Many viruses/trojans/spyware are written to work on Windows based operating systems, not Apple's OS.
- They just work
- You don't often hear of someone buying an Apple computer and regretting it
- Apple offers student discounts (10%, I believe)

Cons:
- More expensive
- Not easily upgradable
- Any upgrades you may want after purchases can be pricey (i.e. - more memory)
- If you try to upgrade your system yourself, you'll more than likely void your warranty just by opening up the computer
- They don't have AS MUCH software options that are compatible with their OS as with Windows (though there are a lot of software options and more are coming each day)
