    New Laptop for 75k-80k

    You must have got it from ebay (thai imported). IMO if someone can extend budget they should buy from India only. The ebay listing had no accessories and a TN display. Although for 58k its still a good deal.

    The Lenovo Y50 Thread.

    I have to buy a laptop one month later, hoping for y50 refresh by then. I'm not impressed with the GTX950M benchmarks, also ASUS is selling the DDR3 version :-x but I might go for it, just for the screen.

    Books/Novels Discussion Thread V1: Literary Gems

    Read "1984" by George Orwell a month ago. It was an amazing yet draining experience. It gets hard to read because of the disturbing situations near the end of the book. I spent a lot of time thinking about this book after reading it. Overall its a must read book but only if you are mature...
