I need a new programming laptop. I have a broad budget of 50k to 1L as I'm not sure if what I need can be obtained in a lower price, though I'm willing to spend up to 1L on it if needed. The laptop will run Linux and will be used exclusively for programming and browsing. No gaming, really...

I just got an MTNL Delhi 1MBPS connection last week. I did the modem configuration stuff myself (by following some blog post... actually everything was automatic... I just set the VPI/VCI thing) since the technician had no clue how to set things up in Linux. But my speed has been consistently...

I applied for a MTNL connection and got the land line installed and when the broadband guy came he says I need a modem thing as well (But he said he wasn't sure and repeatedly kept asking me to open Internet Explorer and Control Panel on my Linux machine). I suppose this is massive noobishness...

I'm planning to recommend some laptops for purchase at the office so I need quick expert advice. Don't let me down, guys! 1) What is your budget? (INR or USD) Let's try and keep it under 50k. But if you feel there it's worth it, you may suggest a pricier laptop. 2) What size &...

Ok, so before last week, I had zero knowledge of anything related to routers. After a few days of scanning these forums, it seems the N13 is popularly recommended. I've also read that the N13 is a bit old now. And all the recent reviews for it on Flipkart seem negative for some reason. I...

I live in a rented accommodation (Delhi) and am playing with the idea of getting a proper broadband connection. Most of my time is spent at the office... like 9AM to 8PM. When I get back home drained and exhausted, sometimes I feel like just watching some videos or maybe stream some music from...

The first time I found about TDF and TE, it was like a godsend. They became my go-to places for learning about hardware-related stuff and India-specific hardware news. It suddenly felt weird that I was using the Internet for quite some time, but only found out about these forums in like 2009...

I'm asking this out of curiosity, since a good percentage of the people here are from a IT background. What do you guys feel ought to be a good setup for a programming-only PC? No gaming requirements. I'm adding dual-monitors as a condition, since it seems to be popular opinion that the...

1) What is your budget? (INR or USD) Around 25K. I can stretch to 30K, but ONLY if there is a heavy advantage for the kind of work that the system will be used for. 2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer? 15 inch screen minimum. Will be taken out of the house often. 3)...

I've never used these online sites before... namely, MagicBricks, 99acres etc. Anyone have any experiences? I'm thinking of getting a 1 room apartment in South Delhi, closer to my workplace. Sure, maybe the best deals may only be found through legwork, but I'm just curious. I found some...

I was on the bus this morning.. it was extra crowded. I reach in my jacket pocket (yes... my inside jacket pocket I just opened my jacket since it was a bit stuffy)... and I begin feeling around, then that sickening feeling starts creeping up. Yep. it's gone. I look around on the bus floor...

Yeah... I don't know what I screwed up... I turn the power on, then for like a second, the fans spin (CPU, case & PSU fans)... just for a second... and all of them stop. I currently have connected: Gigabyte Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2V AMD A6-3650 GSkill Ripjaws X 4GB @ 1600 Corsair CX430v2. Cooler...

Here's the link On clicking 'buy', a popup appears that promises to give a Rs. 1500 off coupon for 'first time users' . So is this the real deal? Otherwise was thinking of the LG O2X, but can't find it at ~19k. EDIT!: omg omg I ordered it! :O

Hi. I want to get a PC for home for my parents and sister. It will be used for Internet browsing, movies AND importantly, lots of Photoshop work/ image editing and stuff. I think that modern integrated graphics cards can handle 2D stuff, right? I want this to run the above mentioned stuff...

I passed out this year, 2011 from a real crappy UPTU college. I got placed in a fairly well known company in Jan. 2011... it was one of like three companies that considered our college for recruitment. I did not attend the few other placement opportunities for our college after getting...

So I have this horrifyingly old PC, (P4 3.0GHz, 512 RAM, old integrated graphics). I need to stick with it for some 7-8 more months. So I thought I should add some more RAM to it, since I'm tired of doing programming in a sluggish environment, and am tired of using workarounds like using...
