Hi people and technical gurus in the house: Based on your expertise, what will be a sensible price for a Brand new Sony laptop with the following specs? 100K? 150K? 170K?

- Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor
- 2GB of SDRAM
- 200GB Hard drive
- DVD +/- RW
- 4 X USB Ports
- Built-in wireless
- Built in Sony speakers

Thank ye!

I can get you something with the following specs:

Sony Vaio 15.4" Laptop
Intel Pentium Dual Core T2390
200GB Hard Optical Drive 8X SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW
1.86GHz Processor Speed
2GB RAM
Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN 802.11a/b/g/n

It doesnt have an integrated webcam tho, however, N110k for a sony laptop with the specs above. Please email me at sales@jonitivecomputers.com if interested.

femzy:
For 120K; you must be joking _{with FM tuner}

I was going to ask him to supply me too.  Even with our direct partnership with Toshiba, we cant get it at that price.

@Sirius,
The model you are probably inquiring about is the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6864 or something quite similar. Can probably offer you around the N165k-N180k (depending on supplies, quantity and delivery time frame). If you do not mind, please shoot me an email sales@jonitivecomputers.com and we can arrange something concrete.

walter147:
I have 90k for a new laptop. It should be pentium M, and brand new. Make me an offer.

See some of our clearance sales here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-134252.0.html

BTW, let me just point out that Pentium Ms are out of vogue. With 90k, you should be able to get at least a Dual Core with decent specs. I doubt you'd even see a brand new PM but anything is possible in Nigeria.

Feel free to shoot me an email sales@jonitivecomputers and I'd hook you up with the best value for your money.

See what he posted. . .

Hi everyone, igbo, a pretty lady and myself were at the Canadian embassy yesterday and we got different info.

naijakonet:
Hi Shine or whatever you call yourselves, i just got a mail tried to draw peoples attention to it. I just tried warning folks using this forum, did you even read the post i posted. Please go back and read my post properly, i am not the SCAMMER MAN. I got a mail tried to ALERT FOLKS TO IT. And all you do is rather call me the SCAM. May the good LORD have mercy on your SOUL. I don't blame you, you don't know how to READ POSTS before POSTING your NONSENSE.

I think you should read sunshineky's post again and apologise to him. He already agreed with your initial post

@Igbo, so you are a pretty lady, oya send me your CV sharp sharp

@AY, all the best.

Update.

- Had a slight delay with the shipment that arrived last week; thanks to Customs & NDLEA.

Hello all,
Just like the US lottery program, the Canadian Immigration schemes are beginning to produce live testimonies.
A friend of mine got his work visa through a Canada based Recruiter and Immigration Lawyer. He travelled with his wife and kids recently.
I have personally applied and have got my Labour Market Opinion, a document issued by Human Resources Service Development Canada.
However, one must be careful in his search for Canadian representives as some may be scam.

Here are a few tips on getting a well established and reputable immigration consultants, recognised by Canadian Consulate.

He/she must be a member of CSIC, the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants or Provincial Law Society.
Firm must be registered in Canada.
Must have been in practice for over three years.

For more information about renowned consultants, especially those that are presently recruiting in Africa, please email me at tosin@ymail.com

Regards

Yeah, whatever; why dont you post any info you got here? Huh?

Elando:
thank you kaycee. al check out the CIC website. do you have the address for the closest cic office to naija? also, do u know how much the application fee is? at least this forum has saved people like me from loosing $409.
thanx nairaland!

Elando, the application is straightforward and you can do it yourself. You can download the forms at www.cic.gc.ca. Another good forum to visit on Canadian immigration is www.immigration.ca (click on the Canadian forum link). Unfortunately, you'd have to apply to the Canadian Consulate in Accra as they are the ones that handle the Permanent Residency applications in West Africa. Their info can be obtained from http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/accra/
Lastly, one thing you have to keep in mind is the timeline. I hear that it could take up to 3-4yrs or even more in some cases to get throught he application process in Ghana when going through the skilled workers category. Regardless, goodluck!

Why would you purchase a laptop with Vista OS trial version? Doesnt make sense to me, unless you or the so-called Engineer got your info wrong. Goodluck with your new laptop.

omonoda:
I bought a bluetooth device and installed the driver from the cd that came with it on my vista. But immediately I tried to explore the functions my system restarted and gave me several error messages. When it eventually booted to the desktop, it restarted and gave me thesame series of error messages. I have tried to uninstall it from my sytem but it just wont go. Please is there any nairalander with a clue on how to resolve this problem and who knows the bluetooth device and driver that is compactible with windows Vista with 32-bit os?

Not all bluetooth devices are compatible with Vista. I dont know if urs it, but that's something you have to look out for.

Bedos:
For UK the requirements for uniting spouses are well known. But for Canada it's kind of not clear.
This lady has a permanent residence to Canada and intends to send in the application for her African based boyfriend to join her there for marriage and reside together in Canada.
Here in UK one must get a "visit for marriage" or "visit for civil partnership" visa for the purpose of marriage which normally last for one year and can be extended towards indefinite leave to remain.

How is it done in Canada?

Since they are not married or common-law-partners, the dude can either travel to Canada on a visitor's visa and get married in Canada and then file the PR application or the lady can go over to the dude's location and get married there and file the application. I dont know any other way. Visit www.cic.gc.ca for any more info.

viperman:
Just Mileage is 8000KM. And that was because it was drven by road to the state where it was shipped from.

Not trying to spoil ur market, but this statement is probably not true. California to New Jersey by Road is about 5000 km while Vancouver to Halifax (West Cost to East Coast) by road is 6500 km. You still have about 2000km to account for altho one has to ask, why you would drive 8000km to ship a brand new vehicle; not that it matters much tho!

Most are 32ps. However, check the driver's doorside; some vehicles have such info including recommended tire size there.

It depends. If we have the model in Nigeria, it's just a matter of getting it to your location. We have contacts in Lagos, Abuja, PH, Owerri and Warri. If we do not have it in stock, we'd try to get it shipped almost immediately. Unless there are custom delays, we normally get orders in within 2wks or thereabouts.

aydewale:
Well on my part, there is a new development. Someone from my undergraduate University called and told me that the cnadian embassy sent a form/ letter etc to confirm my result.

Incidentally, this person who called me was a student offcer in the faculty of law before being transferred to exams and records and that person gave me the info.

Any views on this state of affairs?

You see? After all the moans and misyans, e be like say na your own very countryman dey delay your application. I can probably bet my last dollar that LASU or whatever Nigerian institution you attended did not respond to the Canadian embassy immediately, confirming your results. I'd like to point out tho that I dont think they do these checks on every application; probably the few they have suspiscions about. Goodluck!

@AY,
Most universities award Tuition scholarships, whether it's $10k or $100k (some give you "extra" . It goes towards your tuition. However, you still have to prove that you have enough money to sustain your upkeep and living expenses. You aint gonna be sleeping under the bridge and eating sand. You have to pay rent, buy food, books, utilities, etc. Just cos you got a scholarship doesnt guarantee you a visa. I have a good friend who had full tuition scholarship and planned to live with his brother's family (Naija style) when he moved to Canada. Guess what? He was denied. True, the denials are sometimes very irrational and I cant explain it all, but the onus is on you to prove your case and make your application idiot-proof; it doesnt matter whether you are a lawyer, doctor or Yardy's aide. Dont expect the IO to add 2 and 2 for for you. As for the strong ties, well, I havent been able to fully grasp that aspect. A family, house, and perhaps job at home could be strong ties my books but I'm not an IO.

@Igbo and the rest,
You may call the embassy or Canadians racist, but it doesnt change the fact that our next door neighbours obtain visas to Canada relatively easier than Nigerians. Someone even mentioned Botswana; yeah, it's true, you'd get a Canadian Visa easily with a Botswanan passport. Arent they Africans and Blacks too? So where does racism come into play? Why is it different for Nigerians? We tend to blame everyone but ourselves. In the whole of Nigeria, there's only one hospital that the Canadian govt trusts to carry out medical examinations (and it's run by a foreigner). In small Ghana, there are a few more hospitals and they are owned and run by Ghanaian doctors. Why? On this same forum, there's an existing thread with Nigerians using fake bank statements to obtain British visas; while genuine applicants are denied cos of "inconsistencies". Who do you blame? Racism? Even in this day and age, some f00ls use fake bank drafts to apply for Visas; does that make sense to you? A friend of mine applied for a visitors visa in Lagos and was denied. Travelled to Austria and applied there and got it. He didnt make any significant changes; same Nigerian passport, same everything, same reasons he gave in Lagos. Racism?

Lastly, on the issue of racism, let me just point out that as an African and Nigerian, I've been quite fortunate to be around the world; I can confidently say that Racism (open and subtle) exists but one that that cannot or will hardly be discriminated against, is talent. Those of you that end up in Canada or wherever, keep that at the back of your skull and strive to succeed in your endeavours, otherwise you'd be back here blaming your woes on racism.

@Ned,
Congrats. Hopefully ur medicals go well. This means they are probably satisfied with your application and na only you fit screw up anything. The interviews are centered around the questions Ezin posted. Basically, they want to get a feel of you and be convinced that you are coming to Canada to study and you'd return to Nigeria. So make sure your "story" makes sense to you. You should be able to prove that you have VERY strong ties to Nigeria. . .perhaps, you have a job waiting for you, etc. Make sure you have an answer why you chose Canada.

@AY,
A scholarship doesnt guarantee you a Visa (I thought I already made that point to you). I dont know the reasons why they denied your pals (perhaps you should ask them and post it here to help your comrades with their future applications); however, two basic points people tend to overlook apart from the usual requirements (admission, etc) for a study visa is that you have to prove that you have enough funds to support yourself during your studies and you have strong ties to your home country (meaning you'd be returning immediately you complete your studies). The onus is on the applicant. Since Ned got his letter last week and you submitted your applications around same time, then yours is probably on the way.

asimit:
ha!this don tire me too.I was just contemplating make payment without waiting for the approval again as my school is harassing me as in i have gotten three letters from them saying they want my commitment as they need to take position on number of students coming and i kept pleading for time and even send their reminder to embassy but no reply.

Thank God,i have a good job and going to canada is not the end of the world,just that quality education gives you a lot of opportunities and in many organisation,you are place ahead of your contemporaries.Well,lets wait and see but Adeywale,its well.

I doubt any school will require full tuition payment at this time. They may require a non-refundable deposit to confirm your sit. . .depending on the program and your fees, that could range between $200 upwards. I dont think $200 is much of an issue with you since you have a "good" job. So, I'd advise pay it or try to buy time by calling the school directly. BTW, what program and school?

adewaleafolabi:
@Delta007 like how much would it cost to ship via ups or fedex ?

Aint you in the US? This info is readily available. Visit your nearest DHL, fedex outlet and they'd quote u in 2mins. I'm going to guess ~$100; USPS is probably cheaper but not as secure since it will go thu NIPOST (that's why I said make sure you buy insurance).

bijorium:
Thumbs up to DELTA007. I picked up 2 pieces each of KINGSTON flash drives and bluetooth dongles. Here's a personal recommendation for DELTA007.
@DELTA007
Thanks for staying through to your word. I'm looking forward to seeing your outlet in WARRI. I'll shoot you a mail soon.

Thanks for your business and recommendation, Bijorium.

Replied your email.

6lbs? If 6lbs, ship via a courier (Fedex, DHL, etc) or USPS. However, if you choose the latter, make sure you insure it.

Regardless, feel free to email sales@jonitivecomputers.com and we'd hook you up with some good deals.

@igbo,
I think u are taking that my "devil's advocate" scenerio too serious. I was only trying to read some sense into the delay. Like I mentioned early, 45 days is quite a stretch and just as Debosky mentioned, visiting the embassy and demanding to speak with an insider is a good approach.
