Buying a LapTop........
Finally after years of hard work and day dreaming, possessing a laptop dream finally got over, when I went on to buy one for me . It took me around 7 years from the day I started dreaming about it. Lap top is one such gadget I always have been love with.
It involved lot of research work before I finally went on to buy …intensive thinking and lots of discussions…internet these days plays such a gr8 help to guide you…GOOGLE is the word which has solved all these problems. Though my problem was solved by an exhaustively written presentation by one of puys(all members at Pagalguy are addressed by this name) This presentation had it all and I went on to read it some 5 times …before accessing hp’s official site to check the models which ever suited my pocket and my personality as well.
Pocket this is the biggest criteria I feel coz lap tops are available from 23k to 90k+ as far as I checked ,I know that lappies go much beyond 90k as well …since I have been a Compaq fan right from late nineties when Compaq was not owned by hp, Since they are single entity so does not really matter…decided to shell out some 60 k bucks and checked many brands though my concern was always to pick the best model in this range ,brand was not a much of big criteria. Lenovo was the voice that came from my family ,one of my doctor cousin bought it some 3 months back and I fell in love with it…the only reason was that I never checked other brands….model was lenovo 4 A Q. research needed to be extended…money was the constrain, as no body gonna pay me this huge sum of money. The dream was procrastinated for a while at least till my engineering is over. Finally day arrived when engineering was over and I started researching again at my personal level,though this time I went on to few shops ,just to look at the lappy I am going to buy.
The presentation needed to be studied again as for some body like me who has been a novice for this lap top thing has to buy the best deal .finally short listed few facts I wanted in my laptop
* 1 gb Ram was one thing I was striving for.
* Core 2 duo was the processor I wanted for this lovely gadget.
* After researches I came to know u need to buy T5000 series in lap tops
* Graphic card that too discrete one was one of the other few Utilities I wanted
TV tuner card was also lovely utility to have .
How ever to get these utilities in lenovo demanded to shell out some 65k+ ..out of budget was the cry I had and love for lenovo was gone ,Saif’s ad cant do the magic I thought it created.
Then I came to know about the fact that HP lap tops have all this and much more better features than what lenovo has to offer,in the mean time I had my hands on Compaq which costs him some 33k,the piece was good enough..to buy but do I have the trust for Athlon as I had fo Intel after using Celeron for some 3.5 yrs ? No was the answer….plus to buy a laptop without the graphic card was foolishness when u have been using some thing of same sort for last 3.5 yrs..Compaq at 33k came with win xp..is nt it the same operating system I have been using for years..yes it is….this Compaq was out of list in a hour when I checked all these…..
In the mean time I was getting adamant to buy HP pavillion 6200 series after comparing it with other models in the same range…yet not decided …..thanks to one of my friend who got his admissions in one of the best school of the country ,he came introducing Dell model to me ..deal was fair enough but is Dell going to provide me service I expect…? No was the answer….finally decided to check some Toshiba as well ,because my company had bulk deal with it ….but thanks to my ego kind of thin king…I was not interested in spending 60k for Toshiba at least till I am in India ,so what if in US Toshiba means u need to pay 100$ extra but in India I am least bothered about his vision…
Decision was made to buy HP now the fight was restricted in between the two models one with dual core and other with C 2 D ,former one was available at some 51k this is wit Hough taxes and later one was available at 57k with taxes…,former one lacked a discrete graphic card and was 14 inches wide screen but later one(Hp pavillion 6226TX ) was having all those utility items one can possibly dream of…
Finally the vague image og going for great lap top was seemingly looking as if I was about to achieve it…finally the day came on 30th may when I came home with my first lap top. Funds have been arranged…and lap top has been bought and I am loving it….
So this is my first post through my lovely dream…:)
