App, you r right wrt price. See this laptop http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-np300v5a-s0cin-laptop-2nd-gen-ci7-6gb-1tb-win7-hp-1gb-graph/p/itmd65dckvb7k9gv?pid=COMD65DCTZN89XH9&ref=403f2e6d-45ab-4a76-a3ee-10e833c16f3e

This windows laptop comes with superb CPU, RAM, HDD, Display size, Original OS, for much less price - 50K

But as you said, if one wants to do some good Music creation related stuff, mac wud be a good option.

Also if one want to create iPad/iPhone Apps then the only way to create native apps is to use this device.

Also, even though the hardware is pricy, the design of mac devices are really great and not just comparable with regular Windows Laptops even with those of same hardware.

for ex, the heat dissipation, usage experience wrt keys/trackpad, batt life and some things are rated too good by many reviewers. And now with a top class hardware, think running, Ubuntu Linux, Windows, and also MAc OS so that one can create apps for both the best platforms, Android and iOS devices, thats really great.

This is only device one can run all 3 OS! Win/Linux/Mac! And not only that, if maintained well, the resale value of macbooks are well higher than Windows laptop ones.

With the price too being low, equal to US pricing, same time, no hassles wrt warranty, this price 66K instead of ~78K, makes this laptop better deal.

Again, i am open for all of ur thoughts, more questions means more understanding!

I do hear SUN DIRECT Service is worshtttu....but how does mArar not manipulate his way to the top?

The downfal itself is becos of internal manipulation only! I mean, in sun DTH, you will constantly see other popular channels, esp during important programs, there will be grains on pic. Also, Vijay TV and Kalaigner TV signals will be constantly disturbed, no technical reasons, just competiion, but unfair game play. Puthiya thalaimurai was completely banned there. Makkals eppadi varuaanga??

Also, another irritant DTH is Big TV. I experienced its torture for past 2 years, both hardware problem and high cost etc and switched to Tata Sky. When i got it it had 12 Tamil channels and now its 19. Nice!

Best internet service provider for OMR/Thoraipakkam.



Both Airtel/Reliance have no infrastructure to install wired broadband services. What are the other options? Or should we go wireless? Tata Photon or Reliance?



Or last resort.. BSNL fixed line/broadband? ;-)

K-G, If your folks work @ state/central govt. BSNL isn't a bad option as they offer 20% discount on their Wimax connections.
stay far away from Reliance even if you have that option, idiots don't have a backup power for their local distribution point so 4 hrs down time+had to login every 24 hours :banghead: now back to failtel

Besant nagar/Adyar pseud crowd use these ISPs.. guessing it covers OMR.call/check.

Reliance wireless is on CDMA though, same issues remain?

this was on their Metro Ethernet, cdma should be fine but you never know with Reliance, ask for a demo @ ur place before you take it.
