    Netflix launches in India, HD Starts at 650/month (Same US pricing)

    It's not really about the purchasing power, more about bandwidth prices. Even after paying 650 for Netflix, users still need to pay for all the bandwidth that will be used for streaming. The combined cost is quite high. Some operators like Tata DoCoMo are providing services at good rates. For...

    The Windows Mobile Thread

    Re: The Windows Phone Thread Does anybody know about how can I get a phone in US which was carrier subsidized and later unlocked legally/illegally? How much is the cost of unlocking such phones, both legal and illegal ways? I am actually drooling over Nokia Lumia 920 but I cant spare that much...

    Lenovo Z580 or G580. Which one should I buy?

I actually purchased my laptop for work/home purpose and company only reimbursed the money if its not above 35k :) So I have the laptop for almost free, its ownership is mine just I have to...

    Which laptop should i purchase lenovo z580 or dell 15 r or hp pavillion??

    Go for lenovo Z580 I would say :) I have also become quiet a fan of its build quality. Even the plastic body of the cheaper G580 model is quiet high quality.

    Very Much confused choosing a Laptop !!!

    Get a Lenovo G-580. At 34k, it will give you an 3rd gen i5 @ 2.5-3.1 Ghz, 4 GB Ram, 500 GB HDD, 15.6 inch screen and Intel HD 4000 graphics. USB 3 is there, web cam is VGA but is quiet good for Video calling, pictures are quiet sharp. I dont know about Mafia 2, but it plays GTA 3, Doom 3, UT...

    Lenovo Z580 or G580. Which one should I buy?

    G580 gives exactly the same performance, minus the build quality. however, its not very bad. If somebody is short on cash, G580 is a good option too. Its 5-6k cheaper. I am using one, and it doesn't feel that cheap. The plastic is very scratch resistant. Anyways, congratulations on your...

    Suggest The Best laptop- Acer aspire v3 or Lenova idea pad Z-580

    Ideapad is good for casual gaming. It has integrated graphics so dont expect anything high end, but HD4000 is quiet good card with support for latest technologies like DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.0, Shader model 5.0 and OpenCL 1.1. The GPU Speed is 650 Mhz by default but just like the i5 main...

    The Windows 8 Thread

    Re: Windows eight Problems As far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Windows 8 CP to Windows 8 Pro. You need to be on a full release OS to upgrade. Try to format your drive and then do a fresh install with the DVD. The dowloaded ISO worked great for me without any issues. Dude, I...

    The Windows 8 Thread

    The loophole is no longer working. It asks for genuine key. I tried with many pirated keys as well as my wife's laptop's genuine home basic key which is more than a year old. Nothing worked. :( Only choice is to pay Rs. 1999. I am thinking of letting her stay on 7 right now and will buy her a...

    Suggest a laptop under 30-35K

    Screen is glossy. Its LED Backlight so its very bright and clear and has high contrast ratio. Which one is better, I dont know. Reflective ones do glare if there is light from the back but usually movies look great on these. Non reflective ones are good for working purpose, but its hard to find...

    Suggest a laptop under 30-35K

    That review on Flipkart is by a N00b for sure. UEFI is not a problem if you use the traditional partitioning scheme. UEFI, even if enabled from setup will not kick in and revert to BIOS if it sees that GUID partitioning is not there on hard drive. I use Windows 7/8 with Fedora Linux from day 1...

    Initial Impressions Of The Nexus 4 - Raising The Bar For Design, Materials, And Build Quality

    If they would have given 32 GB of storage instead of 16, this would have definitely be my next phone. My memory card is right now 19 GB full, so living without my data will be a bit problematic. I dont understand why companies use these hopeless tactics. In today's world, anything less than 32...

    Lenovo Essential G580 (59-324061) HELP

    Battery is a tiny bit loose, thats true. But it doesn't cause any usability issue at all. I am using this laptop right now and am loving it.
