I use HP Compaq nx 9010(P4 2.4, 450 MB RAM(something that really still doesn't make any sense to me), 40GB HDD, DVD-R/CD-RW, JBL speakers(No good to desktop speakers). This is owned by my company but purposefully bought for me in US for something around $1200(8 months back and I'm not really sure about the price). I am a developer and I really require lots of power and this machine is perfect fit for me (I don't mind having some more RAM). I run lots of tools, databases and services parallely.
When I checked the price in India six months back for this model, it was RS.95,000
My co-worker's similar laptop beat to death a desktop machine with 4 processors and 1 GB RAM when he ran the same application on both the machines. |
