It is still priced above 1k and has a very good feel while typing.

hi ,

have a Asus Laptop A6Va bought like two years back from germany
Tech Spec
15.4 WXGA
intel pentium 1.73 Centrino mobile
2 GB Ram,
Ati Radeon Graphics Card 128 MB
80 Gb HDD
Dvd Writer
Card Reader.
Inbuilt camera.

all for 1000 euro's

it still kicks the **** out of new laptops available now in the market.

This bad boy came in very recently. I ordered the desktop via Dell.com, but then got a good discount via a phone call to their Bangalore office.

Specs:

- Optiplex 755 series
- Core2Duo 2.33 GHz 1333 MHz FSB
- Two 250GB Hard-disks running on Raid 1 (exact mirror)
- 4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
- 20 inch LCD at 1680 x 1050 res.
- 3 year onsite warranty
- Usual list of DVD-rw, multimedia keyboard, premium mouse etc.

Obviously I chose XP Pro over Vista. Man, working is fun now!

narayan · 20th March 2008, 10:57

oh great! bought something similar from DELL.COM recently..
only difference was went for the VOSTRO 200 series.. with the money saved - went for a bluetooth mouse/keyboard and 22" monitor ( now reading and posting in TBHP is really comfortable !!)

prabuddhadg · 20th March 2008, 10:58

You use that for work! Man! With a 4 GB ram, even Vista would run as fast as DOS. Nice sleek set up.

moralfibre · 20th March 2008, 10:59

I have the same computer from where I am posting now. Its the Optiplex 745 though. Its quite fast.

normally_crazy · 20th March 2008, 11:10

Sweet !!! with 4 GB and XP - it has to be blindingly fast !!

OT - GTO, I notice the Marlboro pack above and the Fire Extinguisher below the table

rev_hard · 20th March 2008, 11:23

A wireless keyboard and a mouse would have been an apt tick on the options list perhaps

kjdesigns_2000 · 20th March 2008, 11:25

Is that F2001 1:24 or 1:18. looks nice.

ajmat · 20th March 2008, 11:28

Is that an i-drive on the keyboard or a COMMAND module!

Jaggu · 20th March 2008, 11:30

he he another dell fan eh. mine is a lil bro of the same optiplex gx620 pretty decent and stable machine. Usually sysadmin end up changing my machine in 10 months, this one has gone for 14 months + and counting

bottle · 20th March 2008, 11:37

really nice office

whats it for ?

did you get xp 64 though ? since the 32 bit versions dont detect 4gb ram completely

black12rr · 20th March 2008, 11:38

I would have gone in for 22 inch LCD or even 24 inch . 22 inch is like 13 k .
4GB on windows xp pro is overkill . Also xp cannot address 4 gb . Your wasting ram there .Will be useful when you upgrade to vista.
Nonetheless great system .I like the dell for there service and build quality .

Can you tell how much was the final bill ?

Sam Kapasi · 20th March 2008, 12:00

Now that is a nice PC. Bravo.

It is just a volume control knob. Quite a useful thing.
