I set out to buy a laptop with some very simple requirements: * FHD screen * A 2GB nvidia processor (I do cuda work) * Support for Wifi AC (5ghz) My budget is around 60k. This, I would think is a very modest requirement from a laptop in 2015. Additionally I would love it if the build quality...

Hey, The premise is simple. Brands like Samsung and HTC charge a lot more for similarly spec'ed phones than local brands like Karbonn and Micromax. My question is very simple: are they using their brand value to overcharge or do local brands have genuine reliability problems. Before you answer...

Hey, My Dell XCD-35's screen conked off last month under warranty and Dell said they will take 60 days to fix it. Its nearing 60 days now and the service center staff still aren't very positive. "End of November, sir. Definitely" is what they say, with no conviction in the "definitely". The...

I bought the G502 recently enough but having been in recent contact with the Nokia E series, have fallen in love with it. Buying a new phone so soon is very wasteful so I am looking to pick up an used E63 or E71. Any idea where I can pick up second hand phones in Mumbai. [Andheri/Parle area...

I just bought a copy of AOE III. It installed fine and was running well, bus as soon as I upgraded to v1.3, it refuses to start up anymore and gives me a "Insert Disk 1" message. I followed all the instructions on this page: *support.microsoft.com/kb/228985 but no luck. The copy...

Sadly due the lack of availability of space, I am being forced to cart out my entire collection of Digit. Cd's, Fast-tracks et al. So instead of letting the raddiwala turn it into recycled newsprint, I hope to trade in my little collection. Anybody want any issue? The whole collection? I am...

I am facing a very odd issue with MTNL's wireless router. [Huawei echolife HG520] On startup, I get a "Network Cable Disconnected" error and the "Lan1" LED stays shut. But if I disable and enable it a bunch of times ('bout 3~4 times) from the Network Control Panel, it manages to connect and...

I am looking to change ISPs, and I am considering MTNL or Airtel. I would appriciate some feedback on their Mumbai (Andheri) operations. 1. Do you get speeds anywhere near the promised mark? 2. Does the speed drop significantly (to the point of near in-usability) during hours of heavy...
