Hello chino101,

There is a very likely error in the HP config in your last post - it is listed with both AMD and intel processors :-

HP PAVILION
COMPUTER BRAND NAME  AMD TURION MOBILE TECH TL 56
CPU INTEL CENTRINO DUO MOBILE  WITH INTERELATED
  INTEL CORE 2 DUO PROCESSOR T5250

Yah, thats what happens with cutting and pasting while speaking on your cell phone, watching TV and listening to music all at the same time. Smiley
Hey sometimes I mix things up myself. Happens to the best of us.

Anyhow you need to fix that if it is an error (which I think it is).

Re: High Spec Laptops At Incredibly Cheap Prices!
« #15 on: September 10, 2007, 08:54 PM »

Ok Kempest,

I can see from your other posts that you probably have a budget outlay of $600 for your proposed laptop with the stated config.

For starters I don't think $600 can fetch you that laptop from a local retailer who is directly/indirectly commercially importing through a Nigerian entry port in Nigeria. Here are some added costs you have to account for :-

1. There is a $49 shipping fee from HP to a US purchaser (HP Will not ship to destinations outside the US).
2. There is a US sales tax of approx $40 for that item (varies depending on the state). For TX and NY its probably close to appox $40.

This brings the costs so far to about $540.

Add to this shipping to Nigeria & clearing and margins(for the local supplier) and the price will easily lie somewhere in-between $750 - $900 depending on the supplier.

If I were to do this specific laptop, I will ship for US$768 with a reasonable down payment received. Thats approx =N=100k @ =N=129:$1

Now, I wont suggest that you spend =N=100k for a celeron with 512MB/80GB when you can add 10-15k more to get a 1.73Ghz pentium dual core/1GB/120GB. Being a student, you are probably budget constrained or may not wish to fork out more for a laptop. But IMHO if you buy a celeron now 1-2 years down the road you will wish you had bought a higher spec system for only a marginal increase in cost.

@Brume Is me disliking the sound of celeron rational ? Cause a friend of mine said i was biased, is a celeron processor any use ?
Sorry to the poster but i just want to know if am biased or not towards celeron.
brume2020
Re: High Spec Laptops At Incredibly Cheap Prices!
« #17 on: September 10, 2007, 10:03 PM »

adewaleafolabi,

Why would anyone want to buy a celeron (or an AMD sempron) today - when you can go much higher up in spec for a slight increase in price. 

Contemporary applications (such as Windows Vista, etc) are designed to require more and more system resources, so in the passage of time the minimum required standard/basic configuration changes to a higher spec than was required before. So I think it is always safer to go with a spec that is somewhere in between bleeding-edge(quad-Core) and entry level(celeron) so you don't get caught with an outdated system so soon after your purchase.

To answer your question - you and I are in fact rightfully biased against buying celerons because they are at this point soooo entry-level. But hey, if anyone is not willing to accept your honest opinion/advice its their own cup of tea.

JMHO,

Hi brume,
Thanks for replying promptly. You should noticed by now that I'm really interested in getting myself a laptop ASAP. Do you by any chance have any idea I can get a another full optioned brand like the one you mentioned but cheaper.  Coz my budget is pretty tight. I can only spare between 80 and 100grand. The 20grand allowance I left in between is quite considerable don't you think? I really can't afford adding a dime to that.
Also, from the way you sound it seems you are not in the country right now. Somebody told me that there are HP computer retail outlets in Lagos. I would look into that also. But I'm just looking for the best deal at a good bargain which is, of course, within my budget. OK?
Looking to hear from you soon.
Kemp.

No State taxes when purchasing from the internet.  Most of the computers listed have their prices tweaked.

Now lets try one little experiment :-

Go to www.hp.com
Add stuff to your shopping cart
Click on the link "Tax and shipping (all methods)"
Select State and Zip code

At the end of this exercise I am convinced that you will have to take back your statement saying "No State taxes when purchasing from the internet."

Matter of fact anyone can do this and figure that out.  Grin
