Amit,
I think you should look at the netbooks forget about the notebooks.
The netbooks are cheaper. They have enough power to run all the applications
we want. They are easy to carry and dont trouble your back. A lot of
accesindians are suffering from back trouble. If you can live with a small
keyboard then please go for the netbooks-the company and model numbers dont
really make much of a difference.
I dont really think that you can wait for 6 years to change your hardware-I
think every 3 years makes sense therefore a cheaper model is better.
I currently use an assus prior to which I used to lug a heavy dell around. I
dont travel anywhere without the assus but I used to hate carrying the dell
notebook.
Its not macho anymore so dont worry about being seen with a small cute toy.

Subject: [AI] Buying a Laptop
Dear Sir,
I think it is better to go for a laptop with 4 GB RAM and also an
expandable slot of 8 GB RAM. Primarily 2 GB might be sufficient today
but may become obsolete in 6 months time when Office 2010 or higher is
launched. Also one / two years down the line, Microsoft may come out
with a new OS which require 4 - 8 GB RAM. Unlike desktops, it is not
possible to feedle with configuration of laptop due to space
constraint. Hard disks can be supplemented from outside using
external hard drives but external RAMs are not in vogue.
Further I expect a laptop to remain functional for a minimum of 4 - 6
years before planning to
buy a new one.
Regards,
VS
