    Budget 51-70k Need help deciding CPU (AMD)

    Thanks a lot, guys! @OMEGA44-XT appreciate the effort to explain this. I was certainly leaning toward using Eco mode But the following made me pull the trigger on X3D - * Like all devs - laziness (to an extent I'm short on time as well) * Though the delta was a factor, this is an expense once...

    TE has become more of a opinion/gossip forum

    And not a good thing. Each individual has their opinion on each thing in life and they differ (and thats absolutely normal). But they dont have to stuff their opinions onto each other. This forum is supposed to be a place to keep all those away and focus on tech. PS: I know opinions differ on...

    Suggest Multi-function Laser AIO Printer

    Suggest Mechanical Keyboard

    If you just want to change it because you are bored, why not MS natural? and next it could be something else. I dont know much about 'Gaming Keyboards'. I look into whats best for my typing (ofcourse mechanical). With these cheap ones, you are basically downgrading to lower quality ones. That...

    Suggest Mechanical Keyboard

    I would suggest not to get one under 3k if you already have TVS. Most of the sub 3.5-4k keyboards have cheap and scratchy switches. I have a TVS and a chinese one with early Kailh switches. I feel TVS is much better. Rather than keyboard brands, look for what switches they use. Better upgrade...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Most of the youtube reviewers are BS. I stopped watching gadget reviews on youtube. What sealed the deal for me is the pricing of 70-200 FL in India. The price difference is lot less over here than in US. Next time, get your glasses here :)

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Have planned on couple of things - Automating media streaming related things and one more was bit work related. Got 2 but a friend snatched one. Tamron 70-200 G2 is an awesome lens. Focus breathing was the only killer for me. I am still considering 24-70 G2 but waiting for other usage reviews...
