OS Installation

It all depends on what you want to use your computer for. The best advice I can give is to go for the best specifications that you can afford. I'm using windows vista premium and I'm pretty happy with this operating system. Windows seven will be out shortly but I won't be upgrading to that anytime soon. Ideally you want to buy a laptop that has a dual core processor, that's two processors within the same cpu housing unit. You want to make sure it has as much ram or memory as possible, ideally 2 to 4 GB. I personally don't favour laptops much as they are limited in terms of upgrading them. I do love desktops however as you can go inside them, take things out, put things in, upgrade them and there's just so much you can do with a desktop. I personally recommend that you go for a desktop. Good luck. Andrew

I suggest you consider buying from apple, their latest iMac which is desktop equivalent starts at around 1,200USD with 20"screen and 2.66 core2duo processor, while apple laptops start at 999 usd with a 2.13ghz procie, 2 Ghz and 160 hdd.

If you are in india... then I give cost in indian RS.. and else you convert in in usd I think with 17 inch LCD monitor you have cost of desktop around 15-20K according to your process capability and same as laptop its vary according processor and motherboard .. 28K-45K ... ITs for any HP laptop. You can check price in priceindia.in

Today in the market is available good configuration.. 320 GB hard disk, quada core Processor, 4 GB Ram, Sony DVD Writer, samsung 20 inch LCD Screen, Creative 5in1 speakers, Itel Motherboard, Graphics Card, Iball Multimedia keyboard and mouse, Iball cabinet ..this is the best configuration according to me..
