I want to buy a laptop or notebook for my own work. What factors should I consider? I don't know what technical features I need. Everybody asks me what configuration I am looking for. I don't know what configuration will be best for me. I just know that I need a laptop that supports Windows XP Home/Professional Edition with Office XP features with language support. I need it for typing in Indian regional languages such as Hindi. I use most Office features such as Word, Excel, Front page, Power Point. I want to be able to connect to a broadband internet connection. I need a floppy drive and CD drive. What is the configuration I should be looking for? Please do help.

Considering your requirement, u have whole lot of options available.At maximum for your requirements Rs 60,000 is more than enough.
Just go for core 2 duo
and 1GB DDR2 667 Mhz RAM
and Intel integrated graphics 950 GMA
this will make it around 60,000.

If your just going to use it for work then a basic config should be enough.
as for the regional languages. I beleive you can download character sets for various languages from microsoft.
as for the drives......if you buy a new one it will have at least a cd-rom drive but the floppy you will probably need a USB external floppy. this is a drive that is self contained and connects to your laptop with a USB cable.
and the programs should have an option to install in your local launguage

1. Speed is essential- Look for minimum 512 MB RAM
2. Three year warranty is required as after sales service and spares are very costly.
3.Battery back up should be longer,otherwise it wont help in a long journey.
4. Weight should also be considered..Around 2 KG is O.K.
5. Should be embedded with original softwares, otherwise you may face problems in Airports.

memory is very important 30gb or so will be fine (512 plus ram)
intel 4
rest is optional kinda as it will depend on what you are looking for (some pc's come with different programs installed)
windows xp is good, vista is out soon but i would wait for it to get the kinks out before trying it
