Piston 3 has been officially out of stock from a long time now. Deals on other online stores are either too costly or you might end up getting fakes.

I have been a SoundMagic ES18S user for over a year. I'm not disappointed one bit with their performance. The sound quality surpasses many devices from well-known companies in the same range. What I am disappointed in is the build-quality. The wire started cracking after 1.5 years of normal...

1. Budget? - 20k +- 2k 2. Display type and size? - Doesn't matter much, but should have a good ppi 3. Dual sim? - Yes 4. Preferred choice of brand? - OnePlus, Motorola, Lenovo, Xiaomi, (Samsung is a big no) 5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? - Doesn't matter. Can...

I don't think it would be safe to remove the battery. I know ideally there are no issues with battery removed but it works as a UPS in case of a power cut and voltage fluctuations. I do it only while gaming. Is it not a good measure to use battery to maintain it's life?

After much thought and research, I raised my budget and decided to go with Lenovo z50-70 ( i5 4210U, 8GB, 1TB, 4GB 840M, Win 8.1 ) Saw some reviews where people said otherwise, so cancelled this. Main Reason for going with z50-70 was a better config and warranty options. A little heads-up for...

I know.. any version will do, doesn't matter. btw I found this Dell Inspiron 3542 i5 4210U, 4GB, 1TB, 2GB 840M, Win 8.1 It also has touchscreen and backlit keyboard. What do you guys say?

Seems good. Any similar config with Windows 8.1? Edit: Btw this one isn't available in any online store. Also, Checked its Win8 variant with 8GB RAM, 4GB 840M @ 53k. Gets out of budget by a large margin. I can manage around 44k MAX. Any other 840M suggestion under this? I know. That is why I...

So I came across this video: External GPU Adapter What do you guys think? Is it even worth? If anyone has any experience with this, do share.

I was thinking about cutting-short on screen size (19 inch) + 1TB. Don't want a cheap cabinet but if the budget doesn't allow, I will consider it. Agreed. But installing Windows or Drivers will be a pain without it.

That might be difficult. I can go upto 52k. I don't want any compromise on performance, but can cut-off from some stuff like display, HDD space etc.

I don't think the fluctuation will be too high, if any.

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? Ans: Mostly gaming. CSGO, Photoshop, Visual Studio. 2. What is your overall budget? Ans: 45000 (can be extended for balanced configuration) 3. Planning to overclock? Ans: Maybe. Haven't...

Sorry for the late reply.. I bought SoundMagic ES18S Sound quality and noise cancellation is good. Mic clarity is good too. Built quality is average.. the wires are a little flimsy. But loads of accessories ( carry pouch, 3.5mm PC adapter, built-in compatibility switch ) I'm happy with the...
