i need some suggestions from the comp experts over here in sajha.

I am not against Mac but I will never buy one because of its cost (unless it reduces its price comparative to other laptops such as Dell, HP, Toshiba). Being in a software industry, I feel buying a Macbook is paying extra Apple Tax (thats what I call for its high price). If you want to show off to your friend and don't care about the price, go for it. But if you are looking for the specs (comparative) buy either Dell, HP or Toshiba. You can get a good laptop in descent price. The choice is up to you........ Enjoy!!

mac is good choice if u want a durable and trustworthy laptop......its cool sleek and sexy

masanga  recently samma dell ko  laptop  thiyo..  3  barsa  bhanda  badhi  tikyo,   bigreko  bhaneko  eik choti  k  bhako  thaha chaina  tara    restore disc  use  garna pareko  thiyo,  ani   pachi  chahin  battery dead  bhayo,  ahile  chain  power  chord  le  saath  choryo.......  ani  naya  power  cable + battery  kinnu bhanda   naya  laptop  kinne  sur chadera   sony ko vaio  kine  900  jati  ma.  

sony  pani  ramro  cha,  tara  malai  purano  dell  ko  media    buttons  haru  ko  baani  thiyo,  suru  ma  chain  garo   bhathyo sony ma adapt  huna... sony  ko sasto model  ma  khasai   dherai   feature hunna  but  still  better deal  than mac,  

mero  experience bata  chain  dell recommend   garchu,  tara   sabai  company  mass produce hune  na hun, kasai kasai  ko dell  le  chain  dukha  diyeko  ni sunchu.  hp   ni testai  ho,  tara   hp  ko  ni  laptop  ramro  huncha.   aarko malai  man parne  laptop  chain  lenovo   ho.... 

aba  aafulai  ke ke  feature haru chahincha,  tyo  hisaab le  yeso  online  store  haru  ma  price haru  hera,

physical  store  haru  chain  best buy   athwa  frys  electronics   le  ramro  deal   dincha,

online  ma   pcconnection,  compusa,  etc  ma ramro   deal  paauna  sakcha.

ani  kahile  kahin  chahin manufacturer  le  heavy   mail in rebate  di  raako bela  parna  sakcha,  tesaile
company  ko  web  ni check  gara.

ani,  laptop haru ma  1 barsa man. defect warranty  huncha,   ani  credit  cards  like amex  extend the warranty  for  an  extra  year  (  double the warranty  up to a  year).  amex  ko  chahin pakka  huncha, 
but  i heard even  mastercard  does  it. credit card  chaina  bhane  bank  ko  atm with mastercard  logo   lai as a  credit  use  garyo bhane  ni huncha  re.  u just have to  register ur  product with the  credit  card after  u  buy it. for  me,  that is more than enough,  kuz i will most probably want a new laptop in 2 years. so i wud not bother about spending almost  half the cost of laptop in a warranty  that is  full  fo fine  writings.

these are suggestion,   u  should confirm these  still exist  before  making up ur mind.

mac  is overpriced.  it  is sleek and sexy.  dont  know  about  durable and  trustworthy, but  what use is  durable and  trustworthy  when it gets  outdated  every  6 months- a year?  

Malai chanhi dell maan paryo. Dell inspiron 1520 chalako 2 yrs bhayo ahilae samma kae problem ayeko chaina. Durability ko hisab lae dell long lasting hola jasto lagyo. Ani battery power pani dell ko strong lagyo.

yo mathi ko dui wota kasto holaa ..... kun ramro holaa..... how is Asus

if you are trying to spend $800, then get the newest one with intel's I's multicore processor.

Recently bought Mac for $800 with mail in rebate
its worth in i strongly recommend you to go with it

I dont know why you guys are making such a big discussion..

You must be buying crappy laptops with life of 2 years. My IBM thinkpad is crossing 3 year and I abused it lot for many trips to Nepal and all over the place. Still it runs like a butter. On the other hand my nephew's Dell is dead in 16 months. It is just "what you pay what you get" rule.
.
But I agree with your other  comments as the buyer has to know what he needs the laptop for and depending on the need laptop type can vary ranging from $300 to $5000.

@ gothalo brow

macbook is NOT over hyped. i dont know if it was the hw or the os itself but from my usage i noticed that macbook is a lot better in terms of performance than most other laptops with similar configs. 

u can  buy lenovo thinkpad sl500  and its pretty cheap if u by a refurbished one. i just bought one for 500 bucks but its now 400 . you can go to www.outlet.lenovo.com and use the filter for lenovo sl 500. refurbished doesnt make any difference,  its just that they were opened once.

hi

I bought Macbook Pro prior to last Christmas and have been very much enjoying it.  No crashes, no virus, no Windows problems.  Very smooth in every respect.  I got the $1400 version.  But Macbook can be had for less than $1000.  I recommend Macbook.

thanks for the suggestion guys. your suggestions r really appreciated.

Mac core 2 duo are available for 800-900, go for it.
Want cheaper, I will be choosing IBM.

Found interesting data: September is the month the school starts, every one is trying to get their share of profit lowering computer price. Other right time is to buy on Black Friday, not explained about the month April, but the price on April were lowest of all.

I like the Mac hardware and Ubuntu software so if you get the combination then I think
u won't have any problems

If you aren't doing anything that requires a lot of processing power (including having a ridiculous amount of programs running at the same time), Acer aspire 5532 is awesome. It's biggest selling point is its price. It has great specs but only a single core processor. At just over $300 you can't go wrong. It's gotten good reviews and even if something were to happen to it, it's cheap so it won't be the end of the world.
