    Recommendations for lightweight travel backpack

    I currently have the below backpack that I bought back in 2017. It is excellent backpack and has been serving me very well even today. I use it daily for office and whenever I go on vacation, I take this bag as well. It still looks like how it was on Day 1 and had zero issues (like stitching...

    Experience with International eSIMs

    I wanted to update my experience of getting eSIM for my vacation in Vietnam last month. After researching on esimdb.com and filtering as per my needs (minimum 11 days, calling should be available), I went with gigago eSIM and it was fabulous in terms of performance. I got the eSIM before I...

    Review My experience of shopping on Taobao and getting stuff shipped to HongKong

    My brother was travelling to HongKong (HK) for vacation and I wanted to get few things through him. Especially knock off lego motors and such. I didn't get an opportunity of buying them when I went to vacation in Vietnam. I started exploring options and realised that HK based websites was a no...

    Do you have the 4 battery charger or the one that can charge like 8-10 batteries and has some sort of battery storage inbuilt too?

    IKEA Products you own and your use case

    Not sure if anyone was ever looking for this but I was definitely looking for it. I own a Kallax unit and I want to sub-divide a single cube into 2 slots (basically a shelf within a cube). Here is what I got from Ikea India couple of weeks back and as expected, it works like I want it...

    15-20K Is cellbuddy safe? Thinking of buying 11 pro max for dad

    With so many red flags, I strongly recommend you do not pursue this. Get a new iPhone if budget allows or used from reliable source (no clue what a reliable source is because even an individual can pay Rs. 250 to a shop and get the health to 95% if they wanted to). These shops are number one...

    40K+ S25 ultra dubai vs india version

    Usually the shopkeepers in Bur Dubai area (which is where I am guessing you are planning to buy from) can help whether certain model with work in India without any issues or not. But I had read somewhere about samsung phones that first one needs to activate it in UAE before it can be used...

    15-20K Is cellbuddy safe? Thinking of buying 11 pro max for dad

    In iPhones, it is now very easy to make it appear all is good. They have software to change literally everything. Serial, battery health percentage, etc etc. It is definitely super risky.

    15-20K Is cellbuddy safe? Thinking of buying 11 pro max for dad

    Don't go to cell buddy. They are scammers from what I know. That Nabeel Nawab youtuber is their pimp who endorses them too. Avoid at all costs.

    21-30k Reliable basic laptop for a teenager

    With Windows 11, is 8GB not good? If not, then we will go for 16GB. RAM upgradable etc is not an issue. The people who are buying have absolutely zero knowledge and live in a village. I will only want to go with reliable brands and MSI doesn't inspire confidence honestly.

    21-30k Reliable basic laptop for a teenager

    From the same listing , is the Acer ones with ryzen 3 and 8gb/512gb good? I guess only difference from one you posted is lesser RAM and lower processor. That is at 27K. I know the target person so they have no idea what they want and I want to make sure my house help doesn't spend any more...

    The "Buy it For Life" Thread

    Bumping, just to see if people have something to post on this topic. My Everki backpack is still going strong. Still looks like how I posted last June 2024. This backpack is one I use for my travels too to store everything from snacks, gadgets like powerbank wires etc and anything and...

    Anyone know about vlebazaar.in ?

    How about we all call (at least try to , if someone picks up) and do timepass with them? Ask stupid questions, play dumb and eventually tell MC, BC and cut call.

    Dubai trip suggestions?

    Just so you know, MMT screwed up my kids' visas initially. I had got our Dubai Visas through MMT and myself and wife got approved while our kids' Visas rejected. Probably (we are assuming) because MMT submitted the applications separately so UAE rejected minor visas without accompanying major...
