    Review OnlySSD - Feedback Thread

    Ordered from onlyssd.com this past Friday evening, and received the SSD saturday afternoon! Really good considering it came from Bombay to Delhi.

    0-20k Upgrade need for Office Computer

    Got the SSD for onlyssd.com (good experience - delivery within 24 hours - good price too: Rs. 4,799). This has made my computer a loooot faster for sure!! I have not tried heavy programs, but with word, excel etc. it's quite snappy! Should I boost my RAM to get the full thing out of it? Should...

    0-20k Upgrade need for Office Computer

    What both of you are saying are valid points. One of my options is to buy a SSD just to increase boot time & program load times, and get USB 3.0 via a pci-e card like this one or this one and finish it at that. (I am tempted to do this now even more after reading that article you posted...

    0-20k Upgrade need for Office Computer

    Thanks for your suggestions!! I think I have almost finalized it. @cute.bandar - Agreed. The more I look at it, I feel I don't have such a bad system as I initially thought. But I do need USB 3.0 and my current MB only has 3Gb/s SATA not 6 Gb/s, so IIRC I would only get 50-60% benefit of the SSD...

    0-20k Upgrade need for Office Computer

    Thanks for your suggestions! Am I reading this correctly that there isn't such a huge difference between my current processor and the i3 4150?? (Link: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i3-4150-vs-AMD-Athlon-II-X4-630) Is it really worth spending an additional 7.5k over? What if I just buy a...

    PC Peripherals VFM wireless keyboard?

    I got it from Amazon.com (through a cousin coming from the US) for $35 (Rs. 2,200): so at that price it is absolutely comparable (and far superior in fact) to the Logitech mk345. Don't get me wrong - I have a lot of Logitech products and ordinarily like the brand a lot. But the mk345 combo was...

    PC Peripherals VFM wireless keyboard?

    Had ordered the Logitech mk345, but didn't like it so have returned it. The range was poor (the keyboard and mouse would cut off / have lag even 3-4 feet away if it wasn't in line of sight), the mouse was really small and not comfortable, and the keyboard itself was no great shakes - normal...

    PC Peripherals VFM wireless keyboard?

    Any recommendations for a good VFM wireless keyboard? The most important aspect is that typing should be a good comfortable experience, as I intend to use it mainly to draft long legal documents. Other than pricing and ergonomics, the other aspects that would be nice to have are good battery...

    eBay India - Coupons & Deals

    ^ Don't bother wasting your time with Mobikwik. It seems that the service is run by a bunch of monkeys. They take hours/days to credit your wallet (though they charge your card gleefully), and by that time you would have missed your deal. Then you are left to argue with them about issuing you a...

    PC Peripherals Need wireless printer w/ duplex printing on legal size paper - suggestions?

    Ok, it need not be laser or mono, but should have good VFM as far as printing goes. My current HP Officejet Pro 8500A kills me! Does anyone have any experience with the Epson Inktank models? Reliable, vfm? http://www.epson.co.in/epson_india/ink_tank_system_printers/ink_tank_system_printer_hub.page

    41-50k Suggestions? - Need a Small Portable Laptop with Good Battery Life 41-50k

    Honestly, I am basically satisfied with the Vaio, but I would have to say that the build quality is much below par to the Samsung np350 12.5" laptop we also have. Like night and day. The Vaio has all sorts of like crevices where two parts meet, while the Samsung is solid. Similarly, the...
