Hi firebolt
Welcome to pecobians and this forum First of all the confusions in ur mind have to be put to rest and that is possible only if u lay in front of you a list of all u want to do on ur computer. 1. U being a mechie, u have to be involved in cad and other designing stuff. Also u sed u wanna game heavily on it. (Typical MEchie stuff!) Go in for RAM higher than u expect u'll be using. 2. For heavy graphics and fer them, using future programs, that will be 64 bit in not a lotta time, XP64 is gonna be better. 3.Go in fer an ASUS mboard it's got 32 mb of unshared video memory onboard. None other has fully dedicated memory. 4.Since u r not, as i think, be on the move while u require ur comp,, laptop will only add to ur troubles, u know, 24x read speed, battery life etc....Unless of course u don't wanna waste space!!!! 5. i don't think a TFT is a necessity, a crt with a flat screen can give almost as good a display. 6. Wireless kit? Go fer it only if u need it. Think bout it. The Kboard wire length is usually enough! 7. And fer all u save from gettin' down 4m a TFT to a CRT, and Wireless to wired, Go in fer a gooood VideoCard. Long live PECobians indeed! BTW this could have been in continuation with a previous topic already on this forum. Be careful, the next time! |

I would suggest that if you plan to spend a lot of time on the comp (say abt more than 2 hrs daily) at a stretch, buy a desktop... I am spking purely from the health point of view.. i.e. a desktop wud b good for ur wrists... ya fir get a laptop but buy a bade vaala keyboard to use when you are working for long... |

Exactly what I have done  (bought a Logitech MX DUO Wireless kbd/mouse combo)
But smitz, if u r planning to get the laptop from india only, its gonna cost u much much more than the desktop, so do take the price factor in consideration... |

Absolutely!! I know a few people who ended up buying laptops just for the "style maaro" factor, but they're rather unhappy now... |
