Vithagan, IBM and Lenovo(a chinese company) got splitted 1 or 2 yrs b4. So i doubt you would find IBM Lenovo, fresh ones. May be used ones. I guess now both are selling corporate/professional grade laptops seperately.
That apart, i don't have idea in corporate/professional grade laptops. Even Fujitsu is also having corporate laptops. I remember they had a laptop of 10+ hrs backup costing close to 1 lac.
I would say Macbook Pro, that too the recent one quad-core, if once brought, happily we can use for 7 years. Note - happily! Normal laptops are facing issues in 4 years time span

Sorry for the nitpicking! IBM sold it's PC division to lenovo few years back and they just produce servers now. Thinkpad series is now sold by lenovo.
Vithagan,
For your kind of usage, I would recommend a desktop. Get something which doesn't occupy much space and you can abuse it as much as you like. Laptops are not meant to be used 24x7. If you really want a laptop, then buy a high end lenovo or Dell as they are quite reliable.

@Vithagan I do run my notebook 24/7 would suggest that you give Asus a try...not well known but I would vouch for their build quality..I have used Asus U series which gives around 7-8hr battery and it comes with all the bells/whistles..If you are into gaming I suggest that you go through this site.

I thought you bought one when you asked earlier.
Now, only 3004 is in the market and unfortunately it is not Jailbreakable. Only legit games
And yes, 320 GB PS3 + Move Bundle is 19k. The 160 GB standalone console comes for 16k.

Sakala annan, I rooted my Defy and is running CM7 nightlies currently.
How do I view tamil fonts by default now? I am a noob with command prompt gimmicks. I tried an application which didn't work. Is there any other app which patches fonts into the root?

Venki, since u rooted the phone and u r comfortable with cmd prompt, As I said, you can replace existing fonts in the /system/fonts folder, I mean, copy some useless fonts to SD Card and then replace a Tamil font, renamed with same name, to the fonts folder. This may help to view tamil fonts, say, tamil fonts posted this forum hub will be viewable in any browser, which normally happens only within Opera Mini browser.
And also, looking at your image, this is a generic problem which even exists in net! In my ubuntu systems, there are some websites which looks like the image u posted, in that case, i change browsers, same page will appear correct in some browsers, and wrongly in some browsers. I switch between 4 different browsers.
Also, the way it looks in ur image, when it looks in my browser, i copy the text and put it in text editor (gedit) it will look OK. Another solution is, in firefox, there is an addon called Athiyan. Mostly dailythanthi font wont appear properly and this addon helps to view different addons correctly. See if you can put that same addon, using Firefox for android( Iam no sure if firefox for Android supports plugins)
So i recommend use Opera, becos, it renders the font bitmaps on its server and prints the image bitmap on your browser screen so that there is absolutely no chance for error. Until google itself takes effort, even font-replacing won't help and we need to rely on Opera Mini
Also, the app link you gave, it is not working for many.
Check the comments in the developer site -> http://xkrishx.wordpress.com/2011/07...t-for-android/
There is some issue in rendering.

Hehee. I was actually explaining that I am not comfortable with CMD.
And, I tried that method as well. 'DroidSansFallback.ttf' was replaced and still renders fonts like that.

Exactly. This is a real issue for all Non-Samsung Droids which I confirmed through a very long thead in xda/ google forums. Looks like ROMs other than stock ROMs have an issue. All v2.3.4 running a stock ROM render Unicode fonts properly and the others screw it up.

4.0 is the only possible solution I think. Let me wait for a stable ROM, until then I have Opera Mini!

Those in US, Google has started to sell its new Galaxy Nexus Phone on its Play store. https://play.google.com/store/devices
While the 2 year contract is $200, the unlocked version has been priced at USD 399.99. Thats a good deal. Comparing this with HTC Sensation, Galaxy Nexus outsmarts Sensation in many specs -> http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone2=3875
In India, Sensation is sold for 24K. I am comparing a phone sold in India vs sold in US I mean, buying the unlocked contract free version. Except for 5 MP camera, which is lower than Sensation's 8MP, Galaxy Nexus is much better than Sensation in all aspects including unlocked version price. Even for those travelling to US, planning to buy a smartphone, this Galaxy Nexus is an excellent buy! Samsung Galaxy Note retails here for ~30K and this one is just 20K but screen size is only slightly lesser, so it is easily pocketable, compared to Galaxy Note. Either for US or India, this is superb deal!

Guys, any one using data cards in Chennai....I am fed up with BSNL BB. Pls do let me know which offers true unlimited and good speed Reliance or Tata Indi or Airtel. Not interested in 3G unless true unlimited plan is offered. So, 2G should be fine......
