I paid 16,500 as I had opted for one with a 30 GB hard-drive. The build quality is excellent for the price. And Ubuntu linux (which I used for the first time) is awesome, it reminds me a little bit of both windows xp and Mac OSX. <BR/>I admit it is a bit slow, but it's more than sufficient for basic internet, mail, multimedia and office work (it comes preinstalled with a lot of equivalent applications). The only thing I am worried about is support as I live in Auckland, but support in India shouldn't be a problem.

But I've not got the specs so far so its pure speculation on my part.VJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622503044343820788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-78068632301903083792008-01-19T23:35:00.000+05:302008-01-19T23:35:00.000+05:30I am very new to the word flash memory.

If it will,Any guess's as to what would be the hard disk space?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-28823719884899485542008-01-17T00:52:00.000+05:302008-01-17T00:52:00.000+05:30Vivek, as you rightly pointed out, the fully funct...Vivek, as you rightly pointed out, the fully functional HCL laptop is actually close to Rs 30, while the 'low-cost laptop' at Rs 14k is really basic with flash memory (not sure if its over 4GB). Moreover, the Indian market has had a history of sticking with MS Windows OS, so it will be interesting to see the response to this user friendly Linux - is it also Xandros like in Asus EEE PC? <BR/>But one thing is sure, there will be newer low cost laptops with better functionality than this one. Its just a matter of 6-12 months. <BR/>In all - that's great news for the Indian consumer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-72425482416906298932008-01-16T13:13:00.000+05:302008-01-16T13:13:00.000+05:30My next post was going to be about if Mac made the...My next post was going to be about if Mac made the MiLeap how would it be different. I know it would have the mac tax but other than that how would it look.VJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622503044343820788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-52351709069808102892008-01-16T13:10:00.000+05:302008-01-16T13:10:00.000+05:30Did u see the new Macbook Air it is WOW!!!Did u see the new Macbook Air it is WOW!!!Dervishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660702085346259492noreply@blogger.com
