It was a my masters study 16th august 2008, first month in college, work was over loaded we friends were discussing about the technologies and their cost at tea time. All of sudden we diverted our discussion to laptops and need of laptop for us.
At the end of discussion I was very much sure that I really needed the laptop. At the same evening I went to Chandigarh sec 20 Nobel computers and asked for Dell inspiron 1525 but only display model was available. But I could not contain my self to buy a laptop that is Vostro despite of its ordinary look.
By far with vostro my experience is excellent. During my masters 2 yrs I came across diff brands of laptops of my friends. Let me summarize the exp:
Hp: cheap, exciting prizes (home theatre, codek digi cam etc..) brand name, service centres availability in India (most imp bcoz u would require frequently) most of the friends faced a problem of OS failure, slow response, Hanging..so dont get lured by offer if u dont want..
Compaq: small brother of HP, average performance
Lenovo: costly, Performace wise very good, Plastic body is major draw back my 3 friends had to change some parts in body withib firstyr of buying
Dell:
Vostro u can use very rough, sturdy performer
draw back battery life is 2 yrs by rule
Inspiron: same as vostro but with no of varities
i recommande to buy this laptop if ur budjet is 37000
thanks for reading my honest experience
Urs faithfully
