    51-70k Any good gaming laptop around 50k?

    Consider high-performing, used, last-generation laptops - these are great options at lower prices. While you may lose out on the power efficiency gains, some newer features, and longer warranty of newer models, you can get speedy devices with good longevity. If this interests you, focus your...

    Building an Audiophile-Quality CD Playback System on a Budget

    Thanks for the suggestion. However, I already have a streaming setup with Roon for all my FLAC files, Qobuz and Tidal. I'm specifically looking to play my physical media collection of Audio CDs (without ripping them). Hope that makes sense. In that context, have you tried anything besides the...

    Building an Audiophile-Quality CD Playback System on a Budget

    Hey, which DVD Player are you using? Thanks for the inputs, guys, and apologies for a delayed response. Have been super caught-up. A few updates from my side. I identified the following (relatively reasonable) options: Option 1: A Sony BDP-S560 Blu-Ray player being sold locally for ~₹7500...

    15-20K Need a phone for emulation want to play dophin citra yuzu and aether emulators would want something that can handle all them without any lags

    In this scenario, finding the best possible option within your budget is key. Given that you're considering used devices, your choices will be limited. I recommend selecting the "best" phone you come across without getting too caught up in the exact specifications - focus instead on decent...

    Building an Audiophile-Quality CD Playback System on a Budget

    Thanks, @JMak, this is super helpful! I'm looking into the hardware you've recommended. I'm also trying to figure out which Blu-Ray/DVD players are usable headlessly as well, but information on this is a bit hard to find. I will get back with updates. I hate convenience. But all jokes aside, I...

    Building an Audiophile-Quality CD Playback System on a Budget

    The main factor is cost. Dedicated CD players or transports tend to be pricey, but you can find a used DVD/Blu-Ray player for as little as Rs. 500 - 5000, which serves well as a transport. As I noted earlier, while I don't have a strict budget, my aim is to maximize value. I'm only considering...

    10-15K Phone for pure multimedia usage and long battery life and fast charging. Minimal gaming. 5G not needed.

    If you're okay stretching your budget slightly, here's a Super AMOLED option with a Rs. 2000 off coupon or its cheaper cousin without the faster AMOLED screen. I've also heard good things about this Samsung phone. And if you want to prioritise a larger screen size over everything else...

    Need help to choose an Air Purifier for Delhi home?

    I recommend Coway based on my experience with Atlanta Healthcare, Philips, and a few others. They often offer discounts for direct purchases, so it's worth contacting them via WhatsApp (details on their website), especially if you're buying multiple units.

    15-20K Need a phone for emulation want to play dophin citra yuzu and aether emulators would want something that can handle all them without any lags

    If your primary use is for emulation and you don't require mobile phone features, I strongly suggest a dedicated emulation handheld. These devices typically offer superior controls and longer battery life. Additionally, if you're planning to emulate advanced systems like GameCube or PS2 only...

    21-30k Which budget GPU should I select?

    RX 6700 XT can be had for ~21k if you're open to used options. I would recommend that. Of course, finding a good deal would be a bit of a chore, but you get a higher-tier card with more VRAM, which will increase the longevity of the GPU. All the best with your search, OP!
