Just the other day, a friend’s visit (rather his subsequent comment!) made me realize that my current computer has matured to the ripe old age of two years and is deemed obsolete. Now it’s time to purchase a new computer and the question is, “Should I buy a laptop or a desktop?”

Well, a laptop offers portability. This benefit alone could be enough to tilt scales in its favour, allowing you to take your computer to and from work, on planes, on camping trips, and practically anywhere else. With so many brands available in India such as Acer, Apple, Asustek, Benq, Bigapple, Compaq, Dell, HCL, HP, Iball, Intex, lenovo, LG, Sahara, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Wipro, Zenith (phew!) to choose from, I feel like hitting my browser and ordering one.

Just a minute, buddy. The question is would I be able to play Quake 4 and NFS carbon on the laptop I’m ordering with my budget? For the price of an average laptop, I could purchase a much more powerful Desktop. The choice would be from Acer, Apple, Bigapple, Dell, HCL, HP, Intex, Lenovo, LG, Sahara, Wipro, Zenith. Again an impressive list, I dare say. Also I could easily upgrade it when Quake 5 is released, which I probably can’t as easily in the case of a laptop.

However with the sort of dependence we have on our computers these days doesn’t it makes sense to carry it with you at all times?

I invite your comments on this interesting debate.

Connectivity, Imaging, Music, Personalization and Internet/PC Integration. If these features (or maybe more!) are what you expect in a mobile phone then I hope you have been following the news. Mobile phone manufacturers have released many models just tailored for such need.
Now, the question maybe would be, where do you find them all, check out their specs/features and compare their prices?
Simple, just check out Tolmol. You’ll find the models just released in India such as Nokia N95, N76, Samsung F300, Motorola SLVR L9 and Sony-Ericsson W610i.

However, if you belong to the tribe that’s looking for a phone that is simple to use, small, lightweight, can store all your contacts, will last several days on standby and has good audio quality then maybe you would still like to go in for the older models.

Whatever your choice, you would surely find a mobile to your liking from the brands available on Tolmol. Here’s the manufacturer list, just for your reference:

• Nokia
• Sony Ericsson
• Motorola
• Samsung
• LG
• Sagem
• Benq
• Bird
• Philips
• Blackberry
• Dopod
• Haier
• HP iPAQ
• i-Mate
• O2
• Palm Treo
• Panasonic

Didn’t find your favourite brand, please let us know. We’d do our best to have it here!

cheers!
