@beemer: Why dont you email the sales rep? In fact, they would have sent you a quote through email before you ordered..if you look into that, you will find the email ID of the sales rep's manager...CC that person and see if you get any response. Normally they claim 21 days for delivery, so you are within that limit I guess (though I got my XPS m1330 within 9 days)

If I were you, I would demand extra freebies and upgrades. XPS is their premium line and such service is certainly not acceptable. Tell them you will cancel your order.

I have a three year old Dell Laptop - Inspiron 9300. I am planning to upgrade its RAM from 1GB to 2GB (the manual says that 2gb is the max it supports). Where can I get this done in Delhi? And how much it is going to cost?

I could have asked Dell Support, but based on my previous experiences, I know they will charge 50-60% more than the market rates.

Thanks!

2. max battery life.
3. wifi enabled.
4. at least 15 inch monitor.

Woof (And no I ain't barking!!) - PM me for details of a good place to get it done. But IMO it's a simple DIY job once you get the correct RAM.

Just came across the Asus EEE PC.

Weighs just .98 kg
7" Screen
3 USB Ports
VGA port capable of 1600 x 1200
3.5 hours of battery
8GB SSD HDD
512mb-1gb RAM
900mhz celeron processor
Webcam
Wi-fi
SD/MMC card reader
Available in quite a few colours.


All this for just $350/$269(without the webcam) I think I remember reading in one of the other threads that Croma sells it for 17,000 in India.

Buy a nice 22" widescreen lcd and an external HDD to use at home and IMO it does pretty much everything you need it to.

gopz, it is 55K. Had I opted for 3 GB single channel RAM, it would've been 4.7K less.

it's black, green, and blue, in that order.

now, what do you mean I have forgotten the feel of a functional computer? FYI, today mainframe works on a emulator on one of very functional PCs, the days of dedicated mainframe terminals are gone.

how does it relate to Mac not being favorite of most of the hardcore programmers? and why is it not funny?

What colour did you buy LBM?

And a newer version is out now with a 9" screen instead of the 7". The rest of the features are pretty much the same. I believe the new Intel Atom processor will be included by July or something.
