Dear lazyweb,
Looking for a laptop.
Configuration :-
Chip and Graphics chip :- AMD-ATI (5/6/7) 00 card
Memory :- 2 GB DDR2 (upgradable upto 4 GB)
Gigabit ethernet port
Wireless :- Atheros 6k-9k chipset
Budget :- Between 30-50,000 INR (inclusive of all)
I looked up the Dell Vostro lappies but all of them are Intel-based 
Looking forward to comments and suggestions for the same.
Update 06/10/08 18:50 :- Forgot to add the caveat. No Windows anything, Free DOS or Ubuntu pre-loaded or nothing at all is also good.
Another Update 06/10/08 18:55 :- I just had a telephonic conversation with somebody called Ravi Shankar, a Dell representative. Apparently, Dell is fully an Intel shop. The other shocking news was that the Dell Vitros which I had looked up, they don’t sell the same in India
Update 3 09/10/09 :- I tried getting a lappy couple of months back. This is what happened with me
The end result, the decision has been postphoned to next 6~12 months when USB 3.0 is out and can get more than 4 GB RAM without an issue.

You are The Fool
The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.
