12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.

i prefer HP and Dell .
Alienware m17x is my hot favourite because i love its looks and configuration, though i agree its costly and heavy too .
i want all the games to run and i dont want the games to fuss about my low video memory.i would also love to have a fast processing laptop.
I havent heard about other companies like sager etc,
pls share your views and suggest better brands if you please.

by the way, besides India , i can buy the laptop from dubai ( U.A.E ) or Sweden too as my uncles stay there.
also i dont mind waiting for 2 or 3 months too .
i am sure you would help me out on this.


13_What country do you live in? India
