I planned to buy a laptop just for the reason I have to go Korea for deputation and there will be no medium of entertainment\communication inside residency. In start I plan to take 10.1” laptop which was coming for less then 20000 Rs, because personally I don’t like laptop as I have PC at home bt as I am going out so its necessarily. I saw many model in 10.1” I start with acer, then Samsung but the resolution was not good in that small size of screen. So I reschedule my budget and then again started my search for a cheap laptop with atleast config of 2 GB ram & 160 GB HDD.


I finalize many product, I review acer 4736z, Compaq 601 TU, Compaq 604 TU, Dell inspiron 14, and many more. Then I shortlist some model like acer 4736Z, Compaq 601 TU & Dell inspiron 14(as I didn’t review Dell vostro 1014 till date) and start my search for these on net, I spent my 10 days in finding the best deal, I check user’s online review and compare with others for better one. I found Acer is having big problem in service and display I don’t know why but I checked on net that the service is not good also the shortcut keys on keyboard doesn’t work. For Compaq the name sounds so old with the functions and design. Also it is heavy then Dell. Dell as everyone knows it’s a international brand with better quality, also it is providing one year onsite service in the same price.


Last week I went to Nehru Place Delhi to see the price and the product, there I found Dell Vostro 1014 a mehroon color 14” laptop with stunning look.I think it is the only laptop with Core 2 Duo which comes for less then 28000 Rs.There are two option comes in dell vostro 1014. One with 2 GB\250 GB, C2D & 2.1 GHz which comes around 28000 and another one comes with 4 GB\320 GB, C2D & 2.3 GHz comes around 33000 Rs.


After another one week I finally planned to buy one and I went to Nehru place again as most of the delhi\ NCR people prefer Nehru place market for any computer deal. I check many shop 4 suitable price and finally I got it a new mehroon color cool 14” with 2 GB ram, 250 gb HDD, C2D 2.1 GHz.


Main thing I read on website that it doesn’t support XP, its not completely true. I installed win XP with all the drivers on the next day I bot. And it is working smoothly, I will suggest every1 to buy if the budget is less then 30000 Rs. If you are from NCR delhi I suggest you to go Nehru place because I bought it in 27600 from Nehru place while I am getting the same model & same spec in 32500 from Gurgaon.


Few limitation are also there like it doesn’t have shortcuts on keyboard, and speaker is mounted at the bottom so that the voice hides under your laps.
