So past few days i have been thinking to get a laptop for college but couldn’t fine one that suite me so i took a small trip to Lahore to checkout the Hafeez Center in Lahore and to checkout what stuff they got , but most of the shops were selling used Laptops , a few of them who did sell new ones didn’t have new models or even if they had new models they would be in Dell or IBM Lenovo Thinkpad , Lenovo Thinkpad is so far the most tough in terms of quality , you can really reply on the Lenovo Thinkpad but sadly Thinkpad doesn’t have some necessary features like it doesn’t come with any OS pre installed , and not many extras as i wanted a builtin cam and Bluetooth in then notebook. So i found that HP Laptops were the best in terms of features.

In HP Notebooks i had quite a few options , For basic use the HP DV6720s was best , the HP 6820 then there were some very Nigh End ones like HP Pavilion dv9825nr. But in Lahore i only found the HP 6720s and some DV 2000 series notebooks, and i found that the HP DV 2840 was the best one between those DV 200 series notebooks.DV 2840 is very portable too as  it only weighs 2.50kg , and about the cost it cost me about Rs 78,000 in Pakistani Rupees that is about $1,114 in USD that includes a HP Bag too which i bought separately, Here are the detailed Specifications :
