RAM / Memory Module for hp TC4400

RAM. I was planning to buy that for a long time here in India. But 200 Pin 667 MHz - 2 x 1GB RAM costed something like 10K bucks and that too without warranty/bill. So atlast I ordered in Crucial US, which was only $107 and it came through UPS but the Indian government levied import duty of around Rs. 1057.

I ordered 2 X 1GB RAM for my hp TC4400 laptop in Crucial on 30-Jul-2007. And made the payment on 31-Jul. On August 3rd, it was here in India, just in 4 days!! My Laptop carried 3 years Onsite - International Warranty and so I checked hp whether the warranty will go void, if I upgrade the RAM by myself. One guy in hp support said it will go void, and the other said NO. When asked about the fee, they said as its my request and my personal upgradation the service would attract some charge ( which was around Rs 1200 + Tax  ) So I registered a service request the

Wi-Fi Hotspots in Chennai Airport

Last week I went to Madras(Chennai) Airport to pick my brother. As I haven't accessed any Wi-Fi connection in Madras Airport, I took my new Laptop, to check out the Wi-Fi Hotspots.  BSNL, KingFisher & TATA-Indicom are the three networks available inside the Airport. Though I expected Sifys' Sify Wi-zone, but it was not there.

Ordered a HP tc4400 Tablet PC

I have ordered a hp Tablet PC tc4400 yesterday. After Vasanth showcased his Tablet PC in his blog, my interest towards the Tablet PC has gone out of my control !And I started reading more about it. He was having Tecra M4, and later Duo Core version of the same was introduced with the name M7.  So I chose Tecra M7 & hp TC4400 to decide upon.

Other than the 12.1" display & lacking of internal optical drive hp TC4400 is similar to Toshiba Tecra M7. Im least bothered about the missing internal Drive, the reason is am not using it frequently, and its nearly a month I used my current optical Drive! Also I prefer 12.1" display for its compact size & Benq 17" will serve my need for a bigger display. Many a times I had a second thought about Tecra M7. Even in October when was in London, I thought of buying it there, but it was too costly (nearly 50% over priced than US) Likewise, something or the other went wrong in ordering that!

So I concluded my messy mind for a HP tc4400.

And yesterday, I have ordered it at last!

The specification for the same is here  :

Today Im buying a IDE to USB cable, which is my idea for Optical Drive replacement!

Though I have used many Notebooks, but not owned anything yet (yesterday) ! So my first Notebook is a real eNotebook where I can write!!
