    51-70k graphics use laptop under 70k

    Some great recommendations above. I just have one question - has your daughter expressed a desire to get a laptop? Most of the gaming laptops, while being very powerful are a pain to carry owing to their weight.

    English TV series discussion

    Spartacus is amazing! One of the best series I've watched. The amount of nudity is immense but don't let that overshadow the amazing storyline. :D

    Electric scooter for 16 years old without license(less than 25km speed)

    I think there is a Okinawa showroom not too far away from HSR. You should do a TD.

    0-20k Cheapest upgrade of current PC - core 2 duo

    Linux would run happily on those specs even now. Its a great way of extending lifespan of ageing hardware.

    "All your data belongs to us" - Whatsapp is now completely Facebooked

    Its really hard for making everyone move away from Whatsapp. Government intervention is the only thing that can help us now. Hate Facebook and its subsidiaries. :(

    How have your work/career experience been in this covid lockdown?

    I work as a data analyst in a pharma analytics firm based in Bangalore. It caters to US and Europe based clients. Work-life balance was always stellar in my company. With everything switching to WFH, I have really thrived despite being an extrovert. Few pointers that helped me: 1. Make a...

    All OS What would your ideal smartphone be?

    A phone with 20,000 mAh battery would easily weigh more than half a kg. Gaming on such a phone would be so impractical that you would want to throw it away. Try gaming on a tablet and you'll know what I mean. In fact you will throw it away yourself even after a few days of non-gaming use. Any...

    Moving to Pune.. suggestions

    Just wanted to chime in and let you know that you should stay clear of Nestaway. So many people have had bad experiences with them. If you go on any flat and flatmates group on facebook, it will be full of complaints about Nestaway. Nobroker is much better.

    Should i buy ps4 or play in cafe for exclusives?

    You'll need a lot more than exactly 227 hours for all these games. Gaming cafes charge exorbitant prices (150Rs per hour). It is ideal only when you are accompanying your friends and want to play multiplayer while making a lot of noise :P My advice would be to buy a PS4 and play the games in...

    Completed Titanfall 2 campaign on PS4. What a fun game! The combat mechanics and the ability to play with both human and the robot is such a breath of fresh air in FPS genre.

    The games we play.

    What! There is a remaster for Age of Mythology? That was one of the best things I played in my childhood. I have finished it 3-4 times. I wouldn't mind playing it again in 2021 :O

    All OS How are you repurposing your old tablet / phone?

    I am using an older android phone as a timer. I work in 2 hour sprints and I place a timer on the phone. The screen always stays on. Just in case I have to get away between the two hours, I pause the timer. Even if I feel the urge to browse something else except work (Like TE) I make it a point...

    Budget tablet to read pdf and ebooks

    I would really urge you to consider spending a bit more and get a Galaxy Tab A7. Anything below this has 2GB RAM and very weak processor and it just won't cut it performance wise. A7 has a really good screen, 10+ hours SOT and reasonable performance. Otherwise you can try finding used older iPads.

    Airtel takes on JioFiber with new Xstream bundle broadband plans starting at Rs 499

    The Airtel 499 plan is amazing. It gives download speeds upto 5MBPS. Its simultaneously handling streaming on fire stick + office calls + laptop streaming by 2 users. We switched from ACT Storm (1400 per month) after they were falsely charging us extra money and now saving 60% on our bills...

    8 Core 16 Threads for future proofing?

    There is nothing like future proofing. Nvidia just made their last gen obsolete. Even a 3060Ti goes toe to toe with the last gen flagship 2080Ti. Same goes for CPUs. There could be a new architecture introduced in the future. Buy the best you can get in your budget and which will serve you well...

    CyberPunk 2077

    Spot on! Its just fanboys bashing the review without even having touched it. The people who have actually played it are bashing it on metacritic! The Gamespot reviewer actually raised some really great points like the quality of side quests. On one end we have Witcher 3 where each and every...

    CyberPunk 2077

    Even the PC version is getting a lot of flak on metacritic due to performance issues and glitches. Why did they release this mess! It was already delayed so much. What is one more year!

    Pure hypothetical and fabricated comparisons and assumptions. Totally baseless.

    Apple introduces over-ear AirPods Max for Rs 59,900

    Believe it or not but a majority of people are not tech savvy. They cannot be bothered to check specs or draw detailed comparison between products and ranking them based on performance or value. They just don't wanna do it. They will go any lengths to avoid it. Its their choice and it has to be...
