    71-90K Looking for a new laptop for development, not gaming

    Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a new laptop. My primary concern is the weight of the laptop and the battery life. I have a gaming PC, so that isn't really a use case for me. I'm open to both MacOS as well as Windows. But for MacOS, I've been recommended to wait for M1X. The price...

    Review The best (budget) USB DAC AMP - Apple USB C to 3.5mm

    Fair but doesn't seem like "volume" is the best metric to quantify the performance of a DAC

    Windows Windows 10 and office key for cheap

    Just an FYI, all these keys for cheap are generated using what is essentially a loophole. MS can at any time decide that they are illegitimate and ban them. I'm sure they're aware of this loophole, but just a disclaimer that at any point they can stop working, at which point MS won't be able to...

    0-20k CPU + MOBO + RAM

    At this price point you should ideally consider getting used. You'll get significantly better performance and as long as you're getting it from genuine sellers you should be good That said, the 3000g is a great CPU if you're hell bent on new. Remember that it's based on Zen-2 architecture from...

    Review The best (budget) USB DAC AMP - Apple USB C to 3.5mm

    Have you tried on any Androids other than Xiaomi Mi A1, Samsung S8+, Poco X3? I'd say all are in the <20k segment, would love to know review with some higher-end phones

    Gigabyte launches 1200W PSU with integrated LCD panel

    Does it actually add value though? Why not get a programmable display and put it on top of your case? You can modify the values and it'll likely be cheaper than the delta for the display on the PSU? The time invested is another conversation though Mods: my message score was around 15 but got...

    10-15K Mi 11x vs Poco X3 Pro or sth else for less than ₹17k.

    Just adding my 2 cents, the Poco x3 is very heavy. I underestimated how heavy it was but it can legit cause hand pain in some positions. Wouldn't recommend even though the overall package is great.

    Apple announces lossless Apple Music is coming in June at no added cost

    The problem with lossless audio is the high cost of entry required. You can get a 240hz monitor, but unless you have the GPU to push those frames out, it's basically useless.

    31-40k 27 inch 1440p 144hz+ IPS Monitor Suggestions

    Is sharing profiles a viable thing to do? Won't each panel behave a little differently?

    Gigabyte launches 1200W PSU with integrated LCD panel

    I really am unable to see the novelty of a product like this, even Asus had one similar a couple of years ago. What can it do that a small programmable display not do? And who checks the side of their case for these stats?

    Pixel 6 is coming!

    The top down integration finally coming to Pixel devices will be interesting to see. If it's anything like what Apple was able to do with their M1 lineup, it could be a game-changer. Their recent in-house iPhone chips are great but not phenomenal

    0-20k Processor & Motherboard

    Should I wait for 11th generation as I am not in a hurry? - Especially for an i3, and since Intel is still on the 14nm process node, you're not losing much as @vaibhavyagnik said.

    Master Hardware Contacts List

    Is this a running list? Is it always updated? Asking because especially on Lamington have noticed a ton of change in contact details and the only reliable way is to know the exact address
