Dinesh,
Acer has a host of authorised third party service centers, where you can get your laptop repaired in case of issues. Also, Dell has its own service center in Chennai.

Dinesh84,
I understand mechanical parts aren't reliable in some brands (I've changed keyboards in my Lenovo machines too, they mailed me the keyboard with "how-to" instructions and diagram and that's all was needed anyways, no service center / technician).
I feel there has to be data on the brands as to who has the least mech issues (like keys rated for 1mn operations etc, for e.g.) to settle for the right one :-)

On Lenovos - I have been using a Lenovo for the past 1 year and I am a compulsive obsessive movie downloader. Also I often go to sites like techsatish which bring unsolicited spam. Its running on Vista. And this one is one of those cheaper lenovos, ideapad. I never had a single problem and I would strongly recommend it.
The best laptop I ever had was an acer. Had it for about 2 years before it was stolen in a library. Acer's are dead cheap and are generally not preferred by Americans btw.
Computer ratings:
If you want ratings and comparsion of computers get a copy of the June issue of Consumer Reports magazine! You can pick up a copy from any used book store also! :)
we don't worry if acer is walmart of america, but this is another successful case of acer hardware/overall stability.

Epic Browser (Beta version) - First Indigenous Website of our Country with multi tasking features upto 20 tabs...
Can be downloaded @ www.epicbrowser.com/
~ the first-ever web browser for India
~ the world's only sidebar apps browser
~ antivirus scanner, word processor, 1500+ more apps
Now Indian Epic seeks to retell browser tales
Will the Indian browser craft a new Epic?
Quote:
India Inc. probably has one more achievement in the information technology sector. Epic, the country's first browser launched recently in Bangalore, is the brainchild of Alok Bhardwaj, CEO, and Tejas Vyas, Chief Tech Lead, Hidden Reflex. The two-year-old company is aware of the stiff competition in the browser world and banks on a wide range of India specifics that form the core features of Epic. Besides being Made in India,' Epic has a range of features that may attract the Indian web-users.
Quote:
The developers claim that it is the world's only free browser with anti-virus built in. The security apart, Epic boasts of a sidebar, which Mr. Bhardwaj refers to as the multi-tasking sidebar.' This provides tabs for 20 various tasks, from logging on to Gmail, playing games to simply changing the skin' of the browser. Epic comes with 1,500 different India-specific themes' and wallpapers that can be added.One even has the option of typing in 12 different Indian languages, besides Russian, Nepali, Greek and Arabic, and use it for emailing or uploading on any site. Indian languages, including Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Urdu and Punjabi, are available. This may help to spread awareness of the Internet, but at the moment it is merely a typing device. It would have been a leap, if they had given an option of converting web-pages into those languages (at least one or two, to start with).
This is now possible with various free applications available on the web. Hidden Reflex's partnership with Web 18 enables Epic to have news headlines and the top 10 in music charts, among other things, as part of the sidebar application.

The company also claims to have built in a word processor in the browser. Epic is going to give the competition a tough time, says Mr. Bhardwaj. It uses less memory than Google Chrome and is tested to be faster than Mozilla Firefox. According to the Acid 3 test, a test page from the Web Standards Project, Epic scores 91/100 compared with Mozilla and Chrome, which scored 93. In the months to come, Hidden Reflex plans to get more Indian content, facilitate the use of more languages and get more live TV on Epic.
