Top 5 Laptops To Gift This Christmas
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Dec 22,2006
"Tis the season to be jolly tra-la-la" is the theme of the moment right now. Christmas is upon us and that means it’s the gifting season (again!). While games and mobiles provide just fleeting moments of happiness, a laptop as a gift is more worthwhile with the amount of uses it can be put through. From doubling up as multimedia-centers to gaming juggernauts, its performance and use is undoubtedly much more. Yes we know, that laptops are expensive but hey just remember "The greatest gift is a portion of thyself." So break out those wallets and check out our list of 5 Laptops that make the ideal Christmas gifts.


Compaq Presario V3197TU
This is a budget laptop with a difference. Unlike other value –based laptops it offers an unbeatable combination of good looks, great connectivity and excellent sound playback. The fact that it is Windows Vista ready and ships with a Dual-layer DVD drive only adds it’s to its appeal. Priced at Rs. 38,000 it’s a steal!

Dell Inspiron 9400.

It’s been nearly a year since Dell introduced this powerhouse of a laptop. Since then it has become the standard for others to emulate. Dell has not been sitting idle though. It has retained the 17-inch screen which has a native HD capable resolution of 1,920 X1200 (WUXGA) and has upgraded its CPU to a Core2Duo processor—the T7200 (clock speed of 2 GHZ) which is one of the fastest mobile CPUs around. Graphics is still handled by the GeForce 7900 GS Go system. The sound is taken care of by an internal 2.1 with an integrated subwoofer. In terms of expansion options, Dell has made no changes. The Inspiron 9400 offers FireWire, S-Video out and 4 USB 2.0 ports. Storage has been upgraded and now is handled ably by a fast 7200 120 GB HDD. With prices starting at Rs. 78,000 this is indeed a tough act to follow.

Dear Editor,

I stay in UK and need to buy a laptop for myself. I have a config in mind and it has to be specifically Core 2 Duo, 1GB of ram and 256 or above of display card. I have also shortlisted a few laptops from Toshiba and Sony VAIO. I am really not intrested in Dell as the service of Dell sucks in UK where as it is not the case in Toshiba and Vaio. I would be greatfull if you can help me on this. I regularly visit ur sight to get information on products which are going to be launched or are in the market.

As there is not much information on the range that i am looking for it would be great if u can help me.

Regards
Kunal

With Dell having such superb LCD Monitor for it's Laptop's, it's sad to see that it does not offer VGA Connectivity ( Or does it ? ). Apart from that, the list is perfect.

Dell 9400 is an exccellent machine .However Dell's build quality is suspect .The others have alower VFM quotient . When will we have Laptop prices lower than the US ? Also why don't these machines have Vista preloaded ?
