    if u specify ur need properly then I maybe able to suggest both from Dell & Compaq.......... both are good co. & have good range of products........

    I can just say always have an open option for g-card....... u never know when u wanna play games or wanna photoshop....... check for battery upgrade........ till how many battery it may support for further expansion........ keep an option open for bluetooth......... it is a good option for connecting phones without installing software package & for transfering files........ rest doesn't matter......... in-built camera is of no such use........ if u want u can get a web-cam anytime(depends on personal use & useful while on move)........
    Thanx for the pointers Pads..
    As I said earlier.. my usage is minimal with pc.. just for entertainment.. mostly for transfering my pics from cam.. surfing(mostly xbhp).. chatting.. ohh yes.planning to go for photoshop.. and sometimes using word and excell for father's business..nothing else as such..

    My budget is not more than 37000/- that's the max I can think of...

    Is it a good idea to buy laptop from Croma outlet? Or should I order it online?

      for ur requirement, then Dell Inspiron is very good........ n even u can have a look at Compaq........ an no need to invest for g-card......... any computer with decent configuration will be very good for the requirement u mentioned..........
      as for buying I'll always prefer a place like Nehru Place(Delhi) or Chandni Chowk(Kolkata)........ these type of places are cheaper than Croma and you can get some extra acessories just by talking n chatting ......... but the problem is u have to visit atleast 3-5 shops to have a fair idea about the price......... the market there is very competitive and they don't want to lose customer......... during weekend go to a place like this in ur city.......... u may have a better deal......... otherwise Croma is fine......... n m not so sure abt online ...........

        ordering online is not a problem at all
        i have purchased quite a few laptops through online including my very own dell xps
        but sometimes purchasing from the local dealers can get you some toppings over your ice cream as in the case of campaq
        no idea about croma outlet
        shipping charges are 900 for all over india
        and if you can extend your budget by 3000 you can get a graphic card option in dell in the same inspiron configuration

              Gameplay is smooth and though graphic details are a bit disappointing, the mayhem that Mr Mercer unleashes more than makes up for that. The freeworld environment is entertaining in every sense and you get a feeling of the bonding shared between Spiderman and New York city in the spidey games.

              This is the best dose after a hard working day or if you need to vent out your anger after the counter-productive chat with your boss. Get 'em/slice'em/a-n-n-h-i-l-a-t-e/kill/kill!

              You will be on a roller coaster ride as you progress through the game!The storyline and the cutscenes are really amazing!Alex mercer is a great character to play with!The gameplay is very challenging but never frustrating in the normal difficulty!Just when you are getting a little frustrated in a level,you would have found a way to finish it off in style!

                      that's one of the best games to play on a PS2. specially for moto-nutters like us. I absolutely enjoyed testing my skills.

                          Wish there would be GTA:SA india where the 3 cities r Delhi ,mumbai ,bangalore . everything in game would be indianish . Imagine instead of the hot dog cart there would be Vada-pav and gol- gappe ones and the bikes would be Pulsars ,R15s ,Bullets . i would pay for this game
