anuragz 4 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 Hi, i want to buy a powerful laptop. Max budget 35k. plz suggest me a laptop. i researched a bit & i found out that Acer Aspire 4520NWXMi could be a good option. It has AMD 64x2 Processor Athlon TK53 (1.73Ghz) 160 gb hard disk 1 gb ram dvd writer Getting it for 35k http://www.gadgetsguru.in/acer-aspire-4520...india-4221.aspx will it be a good buy ? I'v heard Acer products are not up to the mark & there is some after sale service issue also. Plz suggest about it & also about any other model which could be a good option. I'll be using certain graphics softwares like photoshop, flash, after effects & some music production softwaeres like Cubase, Propellerhead Reason, fruityloops etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copperco2 24 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) till some time back there was a scheme which said acer dual core, 512, 80gb for 29000. acer products are good that is why it is about to become the third largest.. and also service is good.. if you purchase it at the end of the month from any distributor..you will get it cheaper as they are under pressure to achieve their targets.. online stores will not be able to give you this service..
