Laptop And Mobile Network Query

The first query is by Neha

hi, nice section u have here.

i want to get a new laptop in the range of Rs. 50k to 60k. I would like something cute nd powerful which shd last me for atleast 4 years. tell me something i can get easily in india. also my kid bro will be using it, so suggest something which can play shooting games nicely.

Hey Neha,

INR 50,000 to 60,000 is a very nice budget which can easily get you what you want. I would have suggested pink Sony Vaio VGN if just for you, but as you also intend to game on it, the Dell Studio XPS 13 would be the best bet. Small and compact, it is very powerful, powered by the Intel C2D P8600, and has Nvidia 9400M discrete graphics. It also has 4 GB RAM and a 320 GB SATA HDD. You can check out the whole specs here – Dell India – Dell Studio XPS 13.

You should get it for around Rs. 63k but it’s completely worth it.

The other query is by Rohan,

Hi,

I have a Nokia E71 cellphone. the problem i am getting is that i am not able to make/recieve any calls/sms’s when i am sitting at 18th floor of my office. initially i thought its the problem of the network provider (Du – in my case)but all other people with Nokia/non-nokia cell phones are not having this problem. i can see full network signal on my cell phone but whenevr i try to make a call, i get error message saying “Connection Error”.

Please Help.

Regards

Hey Rohan,

Are you sure that this problem occurs only when you are on the 18th floor and that the phone works fine everywhere else? Are you able to access GPRS when on the 18th floor? There definitely is a problem with your phone then. Try doing a factory reset on your phone. If that doesn’t work, get your phone flashed at any Nokia Service Centre. It is hard to pinpoint the problem.
