@Azlan

What is your budget for a graphics card ??

Sir, really unfortunate but I really do not have any contact in Pakistan hence I am unable to speak of the rates available there.

USD values has really little mean over countries which has import / excise duty !!!!

Hence sir you have to ask in local market to get a quotation !!!

Thank you,

Thats the best review I have ever read.

Hi! Choto, I want to buy a laptop in the range of 25K-28K for usage @ home. It should be able to handle some basic software like autocad, adobe, yahoo mmessenger etc. No heavy stuff reqd.

I have shortlisted few of them as detailed below.

1) Lenovo 3000 G410 204946Q

2) Compaq C772TU (KU764PA)

Which one would you advise?

Any other alternate is also welcome.

Thanks in advance and waiting for you reply.

Thanks Choto! you are doing a great work by doing this selfless service.
Any way I feel most people here are basically home users who want an excellent combination of motherboard and cpu irrespective of the brand.the rest of the things you can add up.But it should be future ready and should be very good for video applications(graphics),multiple application handling etc.I believe there is no point in wasting your hard earned money running after the ‘latest’ in this highly fluctuating technological scenario,where the price also fluctuates a lot.
Personally I am using an amd processor for the past 5 years and another pentium iv(HT-1.9 ghz,intel 845gc) for the past 3 years.both haven’t given me any trouble as such.Now I prefer to buy/upgrade/split the existing in to two computers (as the old computers has the value of peanuts these days) to a windows vista ready enviornment.
So i would love to see a few best combinations of cpu -mother boards which are economical or value buys.Hope you can help me and others who wants to build their dream mechines
Once again thanks for all your efforts!
