Wifi Phone on the Role!!!

I was trying to find answer to my biggest question .To Buy a COMPUTER or a LAPTOP?

This search took me away on hike to Clive Peeters(Thomastown) morning 8:30.

Mission find out the best laptop in town.

Answer : first look felt for Toshiba Laptop which has 17'inch screen with 1GB dedicated RAM and 128 MB GeForce 5200 card. Damn Cost is too good to even make my mind change to use computers - 5000 AUD.

Immediately in mind calculations started. How much salary is comming in how much need for personal expenses how much for rainy days etc. But still short by 1500 AUD. No good.

Then the search for the next option started.

A beautiful Compaq pressario 3003 Series resting alone with 3.2 GHz HT . 512 MB RAM and ATI Radeon 9000 Graphic card. In my budget 3000 AUD. With added accessories i m looking at a figure of 3500 AUD.

The only thing is if you do some research about compaq 3003 its more of a desktop replacement laptop's. This means

- Bulky like old laptop's of 1200 series
- Battery life is still 2-3 hrs
- Graphic card sharing memory this makes only 384 MB of dedicated memory available to all

Still no comparision to the Toshiba but a contendent runner up.

Doing comparision with Dell INSPIRON compaq scored at all the fronts i m concerned with.

- Loading time for IDE's like Visual Studio .NET 2003.
- Ability to run Windows Server 2003 edition and its family of software

Next question which was to be answered in your mind whenever you are making a purchase above 1000$ how long till till the technology get's outdated.

Being a techie i got a straight answer : Around 4 hrs before you start checking online comparision with other latest models online and comming soon. But the point is what all can you forsee your self doing for next 3 years. For me electronics have a deprcetion of 1000$ every year.

Answering them very straight forward helped me rule out Toshiba Laptop. But with compaq laptop i m still not able to decide should i look forward to have a better battery life so that as next i will be talking abt Wifi as technology will be dominant in the future and do i stand to miss out by not going with centrino.

Answer to this was INTEL IS BRINGING BACK NEW IMPROVED MOBILE PROCESSOR. THE "M" Power is going to be back.

I resspectively cutting short everything i will buy laptop by end of the month irespect of anything. I NEED IT.

With Laptop comming in i plan to buy a Wifi Router to go with it so that one time tension of long lan cable is also gone. With this i also open door for testing of other wifi devices.

I was reading abt Wifi phone's which has implementation similar to IP Telephony whereas you can route calls within people on same hotspot. There are some security concerns as people are still playing with wireless technology.

Evolution of Wifi at mass scale can be when this technology is started to be implemented by Telcom and Internet Service Providers at rural level so that other companies can come in an equipe people at the root level with the similar tools at urban level. Wifi answers this and if studied properly can be a real good option.
