A few weeks back, a friend of mine called me up, "hey shuv I need to buy a lappy. Which one to take? My budget is upto 40k". I replied back, "what purpose do you need a lappy for?". "I want to read books, listen to music, watch movies and ya do some computer programming stuff too.", she retorted. I said "ok. let me see. i write back to you."
Later that evening I wrote back.
Dear Buddy
The following are the specs you might require for your basic purpose.
A processor Core i3 3rd gen; 1 TB hdd; 2-4 GB ram; you may include a graphics card too but thats optional; web cam; and other ports do come anyways.
I suggested HP, Dell and Lenovo. Also a couple of Samsung products.
The next day she wrote back. "Hey Shuv, thanks for the mail. That was pretty informative but can you specify some models with price. That would be great help."
So I sat down to do some search and suggested her 7 models. Most from HP and Dell as they have good customer service and give good models with fair price.
Then she enquired, "Hey shuv will I be able to connect 3G dongle with all of them?"
I said, "yes why not?"
"Ok. Thanks a lot buddy".
There were no more exchanges after wards for nearly a week. A week later I went to her home and enquired about the lappy she was thinking of buying. She said that she has bought one.
She then showed me the model. A SONY VAIO, PINK COLOURED one.
I was shocked. I asked why she went for it. She just replied. "It was pink and cute".
That day I vowed never to counsell another lady about laptops because at the end of the day it is the colour and cuteness that matters.
