Bought an Acer 5738 :)



Comes with Linux, 3GB DDR3 RAM, Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHz, 320GB hard disk, Gigabit ethernet card, fingerprint reader, an HDMI port (pretty useless unless you have a decent graphics card), multi touch touchpad (allows to zoom using a 2-finger motion), laptop bag, and the usual stuff. More here.
Price: Rs. 34,000

#include "BABA.h"
extern char *baba_list;

int main()
{
int i=0;
char *person = "Prashant Kamle"

for(i=0;i<=NO_OF_BABAS;i++) {

if(!strcmp(person,*(baba_list + i )){

printf("You are obviously a BABA, and hence you were blessed with this laptop. B-A-B-A");

}
else {

printf("You are not a BABA, and hence the only conclusion is a BABA must have helped you buy this laptop")

}//end if
}//end for
return 0;

Hi, I have bought this same laptop, but I can get the 1066 ddr3 ram running at 1066 :( can you? mine runs at 800 mhz, I think is something about the intel x64 video drivers

Wow, mine appear to be "faster" running 800 mhz over 2 x 2gb hynix 1066 ddr3 memory xD too bad.

Thanks for your time!

Hi! me again, I have a little question about your laptop again,

It feels a bit loosen near the primary mouse button of the touchpad? I mean directly in the border between the palm rest plastic and the black back cover of the whole laptop?

Not really, seems alright to me.
