    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    UPDATE: I got a quote from a vendor, Kondaas Automation PVT Ltd. They are the second highest on the vendor list for my area. They said that if I wanted a proper quotation, a site visit was required, but they did give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost. They quoted a net total of...

    Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac – Need Your Advice!

    Yeah, well, again, it depends on your usage. If you're working on large-size files and have huge apps like Autodesk apps, adobe, Final Cut, logic, etc., you'll run out of storage pretty fast. Using an external ssd 24x7 isn't practical either. However, you can always manage with free cloud...

    Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac – Need Your Advice!

    @drtgns @nitin_g3 Where is this M4 MacBook Air for 76k listing? I am not able to find it anywhere online. The lowest I can find is 90k for the base variant with card cashback or student discounts. Back to your question, switching to a Mac is absolutely worth it. If you're getting one, you...

    Should I buy iPhone online or offline?

    Most of the time stores would match online price. I bought my iPhone 15 at a Croma store. Their store price was 5k more, but if you ask to match their website price and card offers, they will do it.

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    @?dOuBtFiRe? Hmm, it could be cheaper in Pondy. I just downsized this based on what my uncle told me. Will get a proper quote from a vendor and update the price soon.

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    @?dOuBtFiRe? I haven't set a grid up yet. My uncle, who lives in Pondy, set it up for his house. I'm planning to do it soon, once I have the funds. You can lay the panels at surface level on the terrace or build steel structures and raise them high enough to free up the terrace. My uncle's...

    51-70k Advice needed for gaming build

    If you can, wait till the end of April or the beginning of May. There would be a sale on Amazon and Flipkart at that time. Usually, I pull prices on Amazon and Flipkart with EMI discounts and then bargain with shopkeepers. Hopefully, new GPU prices will settle by then, and you can build...

    Graphic Cards Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB vs RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

    It depends a lot on what you consider VFM. You can get a new 3060 12 GB card for 25k. And it actually performs pretty well if you're just building/running casual models as a hobby. 4060 TI is priced at 45k and for the extra 80% price increase, you get better performance yes, but not as major...

    Laptops Broke Macbook Air display - Apple asking 40k

    The lowest quote I got was 22k for a used display, 28k for new. He said it was OEM. And he said there won’t be Truetone because there won’t be GST invoice, no paper trail. If we do it thru apple you get full functionality but would cost north of 40k. This is pretty much why I went for a Mac as...
