    Dude, my company buys only high-end laptops (latest batch is T430), so our picks are always Lenovo i7 with above 12 GB RAM. Since we get with the full warrantee and highest specs, the price per piece is usually about 200,000.00. Lenovo is usually regarded as one of the best business machines with good durability and performance. You won't be able to get them cheap. So if your budget is very tight, think of other brands and models.

    As I remember, that i3 was with SSD. So, the price is high. But at the moment, SSD is not very important for me comparing to the cost.

    Thanks :yes:

    I'm planning to buy a laptop. Searching for a good place & price*. Although, it will also be used for personal purposes, mainly will be used for office work. Will have to work with virtualization. So, need some good performance. The followings are the important requirements which I'm looking for. & I prefer if I can go for these specs around 75 - 90. & like to know whether I can go for a better one within that budget.

    Intel i3 (2nd/3rd generation)
    8GB DDR3
    15.6" Screen
    Hard Drive 500GB or more (7200 RPM)

    Thank You :yes:


    *Recently called Trident for an i3 with 8GB ram. The price was about 121000. I felt like it was a bit high. Of course that might be due their 3yrs warranty & things. But, I'm a bit confused. I read a lot of good comments about Metropolitan. But as I can see they mainly do Acer. I want to know whether they do Lenovo too. Anyone know anything about this place?. Someone had posted a link to their web site here. Are they good?. http://www.sit.lk/solutions/personal_computers.php
    What about Singer?. I saw some Lenovo laptops in their site.

    ado they are good people bro...good place to do buisness..superb after serive..doesnt matter whether in warranty period or not...I'm HIGLY recommending Sumathi Information Technologies SIT

    Good bye machan
    Lenovo පස්සෙම පන්නන්නෙ ඇයි?
    8GB Ram තියන ලැප් හොයන්න එපා යාලුවා ඔයාට හම්බවෙන්නෙ High End Gaming Laptops such as Toshiba Qosmio, Alianware......etc.
    4GB or 6GB වගේ Ram තියන ලැපක් අරන් 8GB වලට Upgrade කරන්න.

    It's for work bro. I'll be working by next month, where one of my friends is already working. They use Lenovo ThinkPad. Because, they are durable & meet their requirements. ThinkPad models aimed at high performance to aid business purposes. Hence, they usually come with good ram (yeah 8GB or more) & other configurations.
    Check here. https://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/thinkpad/

    Authorized agents like Trident have them. I might buy from them because, as what I've realized after searching about laps since a month is that it's better to buy from an authorized agent.


    Thanks :yes:

    There are laptop types for different purposes. Such as lightweight, everyday computing, entertainment/gaming & business, etc. They come designed & configured aimed at making the user's experience a better one. Ex: For gaming, it should have a good video memory & related stuff. But for a bussiness type laptop, it's not much important. But instead, it should be designed for performance, durability, safety & security.

    Check the following links for different types of laptops by HP, Toshiba & Lenovo.

    Hope I'm not too late

    If you are prepared to spend around 75-80. you can buy a laptop with a I5 3rd Gen processor + other things.Have a look at Unity plaza. Of course the service isn't exceptional but its not like metropolitan is giving a better service.

    I personally don't recommend I3. I5 is a much better processor and there is a huge Performance difference when I3 is compared with I5. Price difference is negligible when considering the performance you get with a I5 Processor.

    Sticking to Brand names is useless now a days as almost all the Computer related products come from china/Taiwan/Korea or Malaysia.unfortunately none of the countries are known for its product quality

    Yeah true. :D But bro, Lenovo ThinkPad is famous for it's quality. Check Internet, Wikipedia, reviews. My friend asked me to buy a ThinkPad, since they're using them @ work.

    Thanks

    I,m currently Using ThinkPad T420.
    I sold one last month for 45000/=, That was more than half a price.

    http://shop.lenovo.com/us/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t420

    If you interested on buying a slightly used one contact me :)
    also I got Lenova Portable DVD Writers if you interested :)
    Can give it to you for 4000/= (Brand new Unopened sealed package)

    I think that T420 comes with 14" screen. But I want 15.6". Anyway, I'm looking for a brand new one. Thanks bro :)
