Categories of Laptop
It is shocking to see now-a-days everybody is having a laptop(notebook) these days. Though the correct name is notebook, at least for common man in India it is still a Laptop.
We can clearly make out that the rate at which the rate of Laptops are going down is faster than that of Desktops. Plus the common man is more aware of facts and advantages of having a Laptop. Thanks to all different kind of Tech shows on the News channels.
But from the Manufacturers point of view, they have already categorized laptop according to users.
The categories are divided into 2 :-
1. Corporate Users
2. Personal (Individuals and Professionals).
The categorization would have been done on Price,Configuration,Usage, etc.. What ever may be the case, the manufacturers definitely want to brand both the categories separately and hence each category has a different name
So here is a chart of different manufacturers and their category Brands.
Manufacturer : Dell
Commercial : E-series, Vostro*
Personal : XPS, Studio, Inspiron
Manufacturer : HP-Compaq
Commercial : HP-Compaq Portfolio
Personal : Hp Pvilion, Compaq Presario
Manufacturer : Lenovo
Commercial : ThinkPad
Personal : Idea
Manufacturer : Acer
Commercial : Extensa, Travelmate
Personal : Aspire
* for small and medium size business

Information Diarrhea
I have this habit to to write some important pointers whenever I read it somewhere.
Unfortunate thing is that we cannot keep a common notepad/note book so that we can accumulate those points every time.
So I this time I had Post-It notes with me and I wrote on the following points:
01 - Entrepreneurship
02 - Scientific
03 - Technological
04 - Social Transformation
05 - Research
06 - Educational Contribution
07 - Leadership
Now the problem is I do not remember the context in which I wrote these above points.
Guys if you people can make some rationalization please let me know :)
I call it Information Diarrhea.

Which ISP to select?
Here ISP stands for Internet Service Provider.
ISP are companies that provide internet connection to common public plus corporates. Normally every ISP provides connection to both the audience. The prices may vary accordingly too.
The basic points for pricing is the the Usage,Connection Speed,Data Transfer. For techy people availability of LAN also matters. This is because software like DC++ and ODC helps to transfer movies/music in fraction of a second through lan. Thankfully it prevents the painful waiting of 2-3 days for a movie to be downloaded. All the ISPs that gives connection which are shared that means that do not have dedicated services allows usage of such software.
So I looked for various options as follows:
You Telecom
Globcast(our local provider)
Hathway
MTNL TriBand
My first choice was that I needed a Cable Net connection. If it is dedicated connection(static IP) than it was more preferred. So I decided to go for Hathway. My budget was anything below 600 per month and around 256 kbps. So hathway didn't fit my budget also it had very high data speed at a very high cost and with less validity of usage.
Visiting you telecom website I shortlisted the following plan :
You explore 250 @Mbps !gB free 250 per month rental and 0.90 Rs extra per MB of usage.
But then it again would require LAN connection and an extra Carton of LAN cable. The problem is more if they do not have a near by existing connection and would take more time for installation. I never inquired their installation charges.
I had already experienced bad service with our local cable net operator so decided to go for MTNL Triband. The plan of MTNL Triband is as follows
200P 256 Kbps 500MB download limit 199 per month rental and Re 1 per extra MB usage.
This is how we can take a triband connection. Actually the connection we get is on the existing MTNL land line connection. So we have to just call on 1504 from the land line on which we have to take the Triband connection. Then just book the plan that we have selected from their brochure. Next they will send their technician at your place within next 3 days.
They will install the modem, which requires a LAN card(not necessary). Actually there goes a UTP cable between their modem and our LAN card with a RJ45 connector. They will also provide us with a phone cable splitter with the RJ 11 connector. This is for the purpose that we can use the phone and internet simultaneously.
After this, the actiivation takes around 1-2 hours and you are ON. The modem also has a facility to connect to PC through USB rather thann through LAN card. The speed is pretty decent and also since we didnt need more data usage this plan is perfect.
So now comes the ONE TIME CHARGES.
Rs.300 - Installation charges
Rs.500 - For modem usage(since its rented; we can even buy the modem from them).
Plus apart from the rental (299 in my case) we have to pay Rs.50 per month as a modem rent.
ok guys, thats it :)
happy surfing
