    Storage Solutions Which Under $100 SSD to buy ?

    SSD prices are more or less static or starting to go up. After tracking for some time, pulled trigger on Crucial MX200 500GB for $139 Though TLC, Corsair Force LE looks pretty good according to few sources - 480GB for $109 (dont know why I chickned out on this :)) Think there was a recent shell...

    Monitors Dell direct order question

    Have done this long back in 2008 Bought 2 monitors from Dell and had no hassles. Backlight bleeding was quite high on one of them and I asked for replacement. They shipped the replacement within 24hours and picked up the defective one 6months later. Planning to get 25" or 30" ones later this...

    Laptops Thinkpad x220

    No, think X250 is available and even not that easy to source. X220, X230 are pretty nice if you add SSD and good amount of RAM. And I guess these are available at pretty good price in US (used). Only slight negative is not so good display. I tried quite a bit to get a decent config but finally...

    Review How's Infibeam now compared to rest of the competition?

    Have used infibeam 4-5times in past year for buying books. Have had no problems so far. Waiting for delivery of one more today Did not know about the cancellation policy. Something to keep in mind for future. Amazon has been very good in terms of cancellation.

    Review Amazon India - Feedback Thread

    I did not write a product review. I wrote this in 'Sellers feedback/review' as it was about the seller rather than the product (Have mentioned the same in the original post).

    Nikon 24-120 f/4. Pick or Kick?

    Macro lenses are pretty good for portraits too. And one advantage macros bring in is comparatively closer minimum distance to focus. Only issues - Focal length of good ones is 90mm+ which will be 135mm+ on your body Widest aperture is 2.8 (which is still pretty good) Few options - Tamron 90mm...

    Review Amazon India - Feedback Thread

    Just a query - Has anyone seen seller feedback being deleted? I recently bought a product (which was shipped by seller) and I felt that the seller did something unethical. The product is fine but looks little old(it really does not matter for this kind of product) but the import + MRP label was...

    Need Suggestion for Buying Camera Lens for DSLR

    It all depends on what your friend is interested in and how interested he is in photography. Landscape - One would need a wide angle to super wide angle - 28mm or less Portrait + street - Lenses from 18mm - 200mm (guess, most widely bought range) Sports/wildlife - fast telephoto lenses - 200mm+...

    Need some help, package stuck with Speed Post

    If you are personally going there, I guess you can either use an agent or personally meet the officials. These are just my assumptions/guess that I think should work - 1. Invoice of your purchase - Take a printout 2. Bank/CC statement of the same period that shows the transaction - Basically...

    Need some help, package stuck with Speed Post

    They will send you a snail mail to which you need to reply. Might take some time. A friend of mine got a letter asking for invoice and IEC if applicable. He had to reply to it with a copy of the invoice. He is waiting for the response. Think this happens randomly. I got a package without any...

    Holiday in rajasthan - Suggestions please!!

    Have been to Jaipur and Udaipur in Nov (not this year) and can say that the weather was pleasant. And as logistopath said, taking warm clothes would be good. As per place, I liked both maybe Udaipur bit more. But none of these are close to sand dunes. If you are looking for historical and...

    Review Flipkart - Feedback Thread

    This feature of theirs is hit or miss. I usually find the product back in stock on my own and I get the mail few days later. If the product is frequently going OOS, the notification is useless.

    Review Flipkart - Feedback Thread

    I got Moto X Play recently which also had the Airtel offer. The Airtel SIM was in a separate pack inside FK's box. The phone's box was sealed (means had a circular sticker which one has to open).

    Review Amazon India - Feedback Thread

    ATS has been pretty good for me. I usually get things much before Amazon's timelines. Regardless of from where it was shipped from. Few examples - OnePlus 2 - Ordered on Day1 at 12PM - delivered on Day2 at 7.30AM. This was with free shipping Quite a few products bought from Amazon during the...
