this is certainly a nice article for those who r newbies when it comes to knowledge about buying laptops.i have a sony laptop myself since most of time of mine is gone in computers only . People know what a laptop is ,the problem is they don't what would constitute a good laptop .i think this is certainly a good beginning article
Dell laptops provide best bang for the bucks. IMHO buying Dell laptops online would be the cheapest option available (more so if you are using the online coupons) for customers worldwide. The prices mentioned in the article seems quite infleted.
As I have mentioned in the title, you have missed out on the Compaq B3817AP model. I would like to mention that it has a Dual Layer DVD Writer, 64MB Dedicated Graphics (ATI Mobility Radeon 9700) and of course a 512MB DDR and also 802.11b Intel Wireless...Check it out at your nearest Hp-Compaq Dealer
It is not entirely true that windows is better than linux for the following reasons. The author mentions user friendliness.. The problem is people tend to associate a computer so much with windows in terms of place where a particular icon is located to the look and feel. What people have to keep in mind is that it initially takes some searching to find you favorite applications in linux, Obviously you cannot expect to see Internet Explorer on a linux machine, so u need to get used to firefox..which is infact more user friendly than IE with tabbed browsing and other features. Also these days linux supports all the nice features that windows has, like you can plug in your USB device into the port and get to use it without the hazzles of mounting it. (As with previous versions of the kernel ). Stuff like connecting to internet and such things are way easier in linux than windows. An other major plus about linux is that you dont have to spend extra on antivirus softwares. The architecture of the OS prevents any unauthorized programs from crashing the system, so you can be sure your data is safe.Installing programs like keylogger is also more diffucult in linux.
Quite an informative article but it misses out on a very Important player in the market. Compaq Presario It has a model named V2148AP. This model comes packed with-- 1.73 Centrino 512MB RAM 80GB HDD WiFi enabled with integrated bluetooth 64MB shared Intel extreme Graphics2 14.1 inch widescreen JBL Pro speakers 4.4Ah battery with back-up of around 3 hrs DVD+RW with lightscribe for cd labeling 6in1 Memory card reader--memory stick etc. it weighs just 2.36 kgs and the cost??? No its not over a lac... Its priced at 70000INR and that includes a Targus leather carry bag...
Now how is this for a deal or is it steal???
hehe its for u to decide...I'm using it...its really a great notebook and that too at a very affordable price.
Both the articles say that "Windows XP is the best operating system, and you should not compromise on it". However, I beg to differ. The Linux Operating System in Open Source, and hence very stable, secure and could save you almost 5K on the cover price. It also has more features than the Windows Operating System.
