Getting my new laptop today

Wow! Congratulations! I am sure by now you are the lucky owner of a lovely laptop computer. Congratulations again Nora. I think, broadband connection is good. Slow, steady and cost effective. Go for unlimited plans. You will be care free and can be 24x7 online.

Hi Mayka! It is nice to hear that finally you are going to buy a laptop of your own. Hope you have already decided and ear marked, which particular laptop you are going to buy? (which brand are you going to buy?) I think you could go with MTNL Broad Band unlimited pack to operate your laptop, if you need to operate it through your home only. You could check the details from MTNL. In Delhi, it is Rs.700/- per month for unlimited browsing/surfing. If you decide for MTNL Broad Band, ask them to install wireless Modem for you, so that you could access the internet on your laptop in any area of your house. All the best.

I can't but if you have not bought your computer yet, I always suggest a Mac by Apple. They have none of the issues that Windows-based computers have.

hello fellow Mumbaikar Mayka,congrats on deciding to buy a laptop. For the internet you could go for MTNL,which i have got and been using since the last couple of years.I went for the Unlimited one which costs Rs 395/mth and you can go for the wireless modem which costs Rs 600,supplied by them.I have had no problems with them so far.You can ask around your locality and see if anyone has the same.You can also contact them on 1503 to get all details.I have a desktop so i went for the wired modem which is cheaper.

For comfort , and you can adjust with a Small Screen (10") Then Hp Mini will the best available one . This one is good when you think of traveling . It will sit quite comfortably in your travel bag. 2 GB of memory and 500 GB of space in hard disk. I think it will come for 18K. This one is my choice when I want a laptop which i need to carry everywhere.

Hi I am not from Mumbai you know that, my neice is there, she is a computer engineer with Wipro, if you want i can pm you her number, since you want to carry with you during vacations, a laptop is best; when i am away from home i carry my Toshbia laptop, i have chosen one with big screen though, but you choose smaller if you feel so.. while moving i access net through a dongle via airtel , but at home i access via my landphone, it is cheap, as retired govt servant i enjoy discount and pay 668 rupees for unlimited down load.. Thanks for sharing Best of luck. Professor

I have been in Mumbai for the past few years and in my experience Hathway is the cheapest; however, I had no MTNL landline at home; if you have a landline phone of MTNL, the connection may easily be procured and this may also prove competitive.Please check with your neighbours about the cable they are using. In my compound it was MTNL but I could not get it due to some other issues of providing some documents. I had to opt for Hathway but later found it satisfactory.Now I have shifted to Chembur and here I am using HATHWAY BHAWANI which is also to my satisfaction; but you must use what is used by your neighbours because any problem can be crosschecked and rectified fast.

hi congratulations for your new laptop.think twice before selecting your lap and configurations.if you will prefer carrying your lap along with you then prefer any net connect(modem).compared to the broadband the cost and the plan will be costly.the usage is also limited from day and night.if you are using only at home, best to buy any broadband connection.BSNL is providing unlimited download plan with 256kb speed for just 750.rs/month.if you are govt employee you will get 20% discount also.you can use multiple PC'S with a single net connection.based on your requirement select your preferred one.
