   I am planning to buy a laptop this year. Cost under 50K including everything in Mumbai.

   My general requirements are as follows -

   1)Screen size should be good for watching movies on cd/dvd. Also burn cd/dvds
   2)Graphics drivers or whatever they are called should show movies properly
   3)Great sound from the speaker system
   4)Casual surfing and download
   5)Price should include all Windows OS (Vista or whichever is best) and MS Office softwares (word,excel,ppt atleast)

   Require everyone's general as well as specific advice.

   PS - Amit, would be very helpful if you give your input. Would very much appreciate if you do a series on laptops in India along with their basic pricing atleast.

   OK - step by step:

   1. At least a 15" screen, nothing less especially for movie watching.
   2. Processors now-a-days are powerful enough to decode movies without the need for any hardware help like in the old days, so you're all set on that front. Look for a core 2 duo based system with plenty of RAM - 2 GB minimum for a Vista machine, 3 GB or higher recommended.
   3. Great sound from a laptop speaker system? Difficult. You're better off hooking up the laptop to an amplifier or home theater for "great" sound.
   4. Casual surfing and download - aim higher; laptops can't be upgraded like desktop PCs so pack in as much power as you can afford right when you buy the laptop.
   5. Windows Vista Home (Basic at least, Premium better) will do for Home users. Office 2007 Home & Student edition is what you're looking for.

   Look at the Dell Inspiron 1525 with the following specs. After customising it and speaking to a Dell Sales Exec, the price was quoted as 45,482 INR (all inclusive).

   Sparx thanks for the advice. I can't access the cl1p link from my network. Can you just post up the full link or atleast a bit.ly url since it works here. I am checking the dell link just now. Many thanks again. Never expected just a pinpoint response on this forum. I love it. Thanks to nihangshah too...

   @Nawzer: You're welcome. Please try the cl1p.net URL again. Else, I've pasted the specs here too.

   If you're unable to access the cl1p.net domain from your network, it's unlikely that bit.ly will help, because all it does is provide a short URL and redirect you to the main (longer) URL from its site.

   Happy to help. If possible, please keep us informed about your decision and of course the config that you plan on ordering for your new laptop.

   Cheers!
