HCL B30 C2D

Sporting an identical look to both the earlier HCLs in this category, the B20 C2D offers nothing different to the earlier two expect in terms of configuration. This notebook comes with free DOS, so do remember that genuine copies of Windows will add to your price. Also no software is bundled, except for an HCL backup-restore suite.

The 2 GB of RAM and Core 2 Duo T5550 do make the B30 C2D a little faster, and this notebook will handle some multimedia content, (remember we said some). The 80 GB HDD is a backward step and considering the minimal difference in price of 80 and 160 GB notebook HDDs this is a travesty. For Rs 32,990, the B30 C2D is a decent solution for prices conscious buyers, though to be honest, if all you need is access to the Internet and basic office use, both the G28 and the P28 from HCL’s own stables would do the trick. You save pretty penny too!
