sgiitk 32 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 We were in Dubai in April. My son bought a HD Digicam from Panasonic. The dealer was quite clear that the warranty will only be valid in India for 3 months. After that to get the rest of the year you may have to fight Panasonic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
postashish 3 Report post Posted December 30, 2011 Hi Guys, I need a laptop urgently, require it with the following purpose : Lots of work with images, storage + editing. Rough and tough, till now I have used HP and IBM commercial series laptops and have got used to using laptops very roughly, the laptops that i see in any retail store today are all very plasticky plus looks are more important to them than the material. core i3 or i5 won't matter. Not expecting great battery life, decent will do. I am looking for a slim model, and preferably 13 or 14 inches. Please provide your valuable suggestions with or without deals. I am badly confused! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) May I suggest a couple: Toshiba 4013 (14", i5, 4GB, 500GB, no OS). About 32k Asus K53SV (15", i7, 8GB, 2GB video, 750GB, no OS). About 48k Toshiba are rightly considered as the Mercedes of Laptops! Edited January 3, 2012 by sgiitk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

postashish 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Hi Silent_God! Urgency is still there but the laptop that you suggested, I could not find in retail here. I found a Laptop by Dell insted which was very slim and with aluminium boday but the dealer here had just one last piece which was sold. It is Dell Vostro V131, 13 inches, inbuilt battery, I3 2nd Gen. V.V slim and light weight model indeed. On Dell website If i order I will not get the product before 7-10 days, Can any one please suggest any other online retailer who may send me the same in a quicker time! THANKS!

I already mentioned it it was from ebay.in & anyways, supplier has run out of stock, so don't think now it will be available ( I mean same product, similar may be available). Ebay.in has lots of offers on laptop since last few weeks. http://deals.ebay.in/deals/laptops.html or else, Rajan's few post on the subject can help you to decide..

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted January 4, 2012 No hdmi in the toshiba Yes there is none. When we bought it in early November a set of 5.1 speakers from Philips was included as a freebie. I personally think Toshiba is far more reliable than others. I have had enough problems with HP/Compaq (three units), Lenovo and Acer (two units) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akshmail 6 Report post Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys, One of my friend bought Dell Vostro 1540 in 30K directly from Dell showroom (Nehru place, New Delhi) On Dell site specs are: Intel® Core™ i3-370M processor, Genuine Windows® 7 Professional SP1 32bit, 15.6", 2GB, 320 GB with price 33290 But he got 500 GB instead of 320 GB. He paid less compared to online price, and got bigger HDD. How this is possible? AFAIK online price are less than showroom prices. I am also planning one for me. I am also preferring Dell. and I am planning to buy from US/UK. I dont know how much I will save from US buying, Worlwide warranty I think will remain as I read somewhere I have to call Dell CC and register the PC for India then they will transfer the warranty service to India region. So Gurus pls advice me what should I do? Thanks in advance for ur valuable suggessions. Spec I m looking : i3 4gb 500 gb atleast Regards, Amit Kumar Edited January 14, 2012 by akshmail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akshmail 6 Report post Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Thx Rajan ji for help. But my question is: is there any issue if I buy it from US? I think it will cost lesser than which is showing in Dell/Us website.(25K around but this inculdes 320GB HD). I have not got actual price from US as my friend is planning to go in next month.

csmart 472 Report post Posted January 14, 2012 There is no problem in buying from us. just confirm if international warranty is available or not. Otherwise also it will not matter. Like all electronics, anything can go wrong if you are unlucky. Look for other brands also. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

csmart 472 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 @bhumka for laptop in Mumbai, you can try at Lamington Road. There you will get the best deal and also need to bargain really hard. For specs, i3 or i5 with 8GB RAM with graphic card. Graphic card required as you need to watch movie. 35k is decent budget and you will get many options.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 For specs, i3 or i5 with 8GB RAM with graphic card. Graphic card required as you need to watch movie. Seriously? You don't need that much RAM, i5 processor or dedicated graphic card just to watch movies. Even Pentium Dual Core / Atom with inbuilt graphic should do the job.

ashokb 11 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 I suggest all of us prospective buyers wait for ivy bridge roll out. It has far better inbuilt graphics (HD4000). It will e double benefits for us. Existing pricing will reduce to clear te stock. And ivy bridge better with launch at almost same price point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
