No two people, it seems, want the same thing from the good old laptop. Someone wants good battery, some want ultra-portability, some want a multimedia powerhouse. Perhaps, the students are the least demanding of this lot! What they are looking for is a mixture of performance and portability, blended in an affordable price point.
Here is what they can buy, be it for school or college.
Samsung R- series NP-RV509-A06IN
Rs 27000 approx
Pretty well loaded for an entry-level laptop. Intel Core i5 @ 2.66GHz, 3GB RAM, 15.6-inch display and a 500GB hard drive, but doesn’t come preloaded with an OS. Maybe Linux is the way to go? Or just get a Windows 7 installation.
HP Pavilion G4-1008TU
Rs 32000 approx
Not the best-looking laptop around, by far, and doesn’t carry the sleekness of some of the rivals. But does the job it has been made to do, with a pretty powerful package. An Intel Core i5 processor @2.66GHz, 3GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, and for the extra bit of money (as compared to the Samsung R- series), this one has the 64-bit Windows 7 Home Basic pre-loaded. Has a 15.6-inch display.
Dell Inspiron 13z
Rs 39000
The New Inspiron 13z does make for a good machine. This one is powered by the second generation Intel Core i3 processor clocking at 2.20GHz, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB but a 7200rpm hard drive and a more portable 13.3-inch display. He build quality is also slightly better then the other two we have mentioned before this one. But then again, as you move up the price chain, this is bound to happen.
HP Pavilion dv6- 3050TX
Rs 51000
This is where we are getting into the higher end of the pack. The HP Pavilion dv6 looks and feels the part. The aluminum finish and the glossy colours do lend it quite a bit of sparkle. The power package is pretty solid as well- Intel Core i7 @ 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 640GB hard drive, ATi Mobility Radeon HD5650 (1GB) graphics and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium pre-loaded.
Apple MacBook AirStarting at Rs 56,900
This is the slimmest laptop around. The updated versions have received the Intel Core i5 processors and upgraded the flash storage as well. Available in 11-inch and 13-inch versions, but both are extremely lightweight and portable. You will probably end up buying these if you are an Apple fanboy, or just need a laptop that is as slim and light as that notepad on your desk.
