    Laptop Suggestions for mid-high CPU uses

    Is your HP Pavilion g6-2005ax still working now? When did you purchase it? I bought an HP Pavilion g4-2049tx for around ₹39,000 on the last day of 2012. It is now 12.5 years old and works fine. Have you ever cleaned the heat sink or replaced the thermal paste on your old laptop? Are the CPU...

    Is it worth opening a 12-year-old laptop to clean the heat sink and replace thermal paste?

    I have watched a YouTube video and read the service manual. I feel it isn't easy to do it myself. I have never dismantled a laptop before. But I was able to remove the service cover to replace the RAM, SSD, and WiFi card. Shall I remove the battery and use it? The Lapcare battery has died after...

    Is it worth opening a 12-year-old laptop to clean the heat sink and replace thermal paste?

    Hi there! I have an HP Pavilion g4 laptop, which I purchased on December 31, 2012. It's 12.5 years old now. I replaced the Toshiba HDD with a Samsung 870 EVO SSD in January 2021. I bought a Lapcare battery in September 2021. I installed Linux Mint over Windows 8.1 in September 2021. I replaced...

    Help me purchase a 65-inch Smart TV!

    The grid is only visible in bright solid colours and scenes such as the sky or underwater. It bothers me sometimes when I watch these shots. Otherwise, it's hidden in the rest of the content. The Samsung technician asked me not to look at it and enjoy the picture instead. It seems Samsung...

    I think the Samsung QN90C 50-inch TV is a great choice for gaming. It comes with a VA panel and a 144Hz refresh rate. It has been discounted lately and is available for less than ₹70,000 including bank offers.

    A few days after I watched content on my new television, I noticed a subtle grid on the left side in solid colours or bright scenes such as the sky. I googled it and found that it is common in FALD TVs. I called the Samsung technician home to verify the artefact. He said the panel was perfect...

    Help me purchase a 65-inch Smart TV!

    I finally purchased the Samsung QN85C 55-inches TV for ₹84,000 over the Q60C priced at ₹59,000. I chose the FALD TV instead of the regular QLED. For the price difference of ₹25,000 I think it’s a good upgrade. There is a limited period price drop on Samsung upper midrange and premium...

    I also saw the LG QNED81(2022) in a showroom, and the demo picture quality looked great. It looked better than the Sony and Samsung entry-level and lower mid-range series. I compared the brightness next to X82L and Q70C. But it has lower ratings on the rtings.com website. There are also...

    I will compare these two TVs side by side in the showroom. On YouTube, the Sony X82L wins over the Samsung Q60C. I don't have external speakers. I might use them in the future. The reason I want the X82L is for the better colours, Dolby Vision support and a few more enhancements in features...

    Finally, these are the prices for the two TVs I have decided to purchase. Samsung Q60C at ₹62,000 Sony X82L at ₹65,000 Which TV is better? Both TVs are neck-to-neck, but I believe the Sony is a better TV overall. Should I buy the Sony or the Samsung?

    Are HDMI 2.1 ports needed in the long run? The Sony X75L has 3 of them, even though the panel is 50Hz. The Samsung Q60C has three HDMI 2.0 ports, a notable difference. I'm willing to purchase one of these entry-level TVs as they appropriately fall under my budget and are a good starting point.

    Thanks for all the input. I checked the rtings.com website and ordered the TV reviews from best to worst in mixed usage. Now, I got an idea of how to compare the TVs. From this list, I think the LG A2 would have been the best for the ₹80,000 it sold on Amazon sale. I don't see Sony X82L here...

    Help me purchase a 65-inch Smart TV!

    I went to the electronics store today to finalise the price for the Sony Bravia X82L 55-inch TV. I considered it a great deal if it cost anywhere between Rs 60,000-65,000. To my surprise, the TV was priced at around Rs 80,000 and with card discounts, it can reach close to Rs 70,000. I enquired...

    Help me purchase a 65-inch Smart TV!

    I decided to purchase the Sony Bravia X82L 55-inch TV. I think it would be the best television to serve our purpose. It should cost around ₹65,000 from a nearby dealer. As I said earlier, I may not need a TV with more than a 60Hz refresh rate.
