Buying a Laptop

I’m planning to buy a laptop and started hunting the web for a gud one.

 

At First I thought of buying Apple Mac Book and then stepped back as I hv to spend too much (60K) for a basic model itself.

 

So I hopped to Sony vaio VGN-CS12ghb which cost around 45000 inr.

But it has only1 gig ram which is not sufficient. So I enquired about upgrading it to 3gig and got a price quote of RS 47000.

 

I also have an eye on HP DV4-1240TX that cost around 50,800 inr.

It has a better configuration.

Sony looks pretty good, but config is low. HP design luks ok and hv a good config (512 mb nvidia graphic card).

Now I’m in dilemma of choosing one among the above models.

 

If any one likes to comment, it would surely help me…

Plz give ur valuable suggestions before i buy.

Microsoft Expression Blend

Today I just got thru a website and read about Microsoft Expression Blend. It seems interesting.

Of course this tool came in to use long b4 but only 2day it just caught my sight J

 

expression_blend_packshot_ce06eaf47d1

 

This tool helps developer to design UI with ease.

After seeing this I guess there will not be any more rectangular/square command button J that we usually see in classic visual basic.

Visual studio developers won’t struggle for creating UI here after and need not go for a third party tool. It has similarities to other programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash. So working in Expression Blend won’t be that hard for those who are familiar with adobe products.

 

I’ll try using this tool soon J

– Happy programing –
