This happened just days before i got Xperia L :

Boy : u decided on which one to buy ?
Me : I am thinking of Grand duos or Xperia L.
Boy : i think Xperia L is old product..never heard of it..-____-( i was like wtf dude ?? which planet are u from ?? )
Me : no, its a new product..just launched
Boy : better buy samsung grand duos. it has big screen
Me : so ?? whats a big screen gonna do ??
Boy : better for watching porn (i thought..maybe the dude is not foolish afterall ;) )
Me: lol..i think i'll go with Xperia L as it has almost everything i need. anyway, wanna buy a phone for my needs, not for porn.. :p
Boy : arre..samsung & micromax has cheaper phones & has much better android than xperia ( god help him ). & also sony charges extra for their mobile just because their premium brands.
Me: Dude its not like that..Every phone comes with SAR ( Specific absorption rate ). Sony is pretty strict when it comes to keeping this rate very low ( higher rate is more harmful ) thats why they use quality spare parts & hence cost of sony is generally a bit high.
Boy : arre kuch bhi bolta kya re ( you are blabbering :p ), samsung aur micromax make their phones in india, hence they are cheaper. Sony imports phones from other countries & hence they are costly..baaki sab kuch same hai..

ME : @________@

P.S : I am not making fun of his stupidity, but rather stumped by his ignorance on this subject. no offence meant. :)

Lots of such conversations happened between us..i'll post it here later. ;)

A friend of mine wanted to but new laptop so i went to the shop with him yesterday. Friend was leaving town today and wanted to buy the laptop ASAP.

Friend: Laptop lena tha 35k tak ka (wanted a laptop for 35k).
Salesguy (SG): We have Dell inspiron 15. Dell is the best company. the laptop has core i3 3rd gen, 4 gb ram, 1 gb graphics card.
Me: Whats the model no of GPU and its memory type?
SG: Whats a GPU and how to find its model no?
Me: graphics card!!!
SG: Its Nvidia 1gb graphics card.
Me: :facepalm: then why the laptop has Radeon sticker on it?
SG: Sorry, its 1gb radeon.
Me: Ok whats the model no of proccy and we don't require a ULV processor.
SG: its core i3 3rd gen and whats ULV?
Me: where's the laptop box? (after recieving the box) see, the proccy is i3 3317u, utra low voltage processor requiring low power, which we don't want.
SG: you can only get i3 at this range.
Me: Bring us a laptop with AMD A6 proccy, pricisely HP G6 2310AX.
SG: AMD overheats a lot.
Me: who said that? have you ever used any AMD proccy?
SG: I haven't.
Me: :facepalm: then don't misguide customers.
SG: I have been selling laptops for 3 years.
Me: so you've been fooling people for 3 years.
SG: See sir, I'm a final year B. A. student.
Me: Oh, so thats the reason you don't know about computer hardware.
Friend (to me): Its ok bro, i can adjust with this laptop.
Me: fine, do whatever you want but don't come to me if you find your system lagging.
Friend (to SG): this one will do, get it ready.

After making a partial payment of 20k and returning to the shop after 2 hours.
Me: switch the laptop on.
friend switched it on in front of the salesguy.
Me: why does this laptop has win7 OS despite the Ubuntu Linux sticker?
SG: Linux is a crap OS. You won't be able to do your work on it.
Me: do you know what OS your phone has?
SG: Android ICS (some micromax crap phone)
Me: :facepalm: Dumbass, do you know that Android is a Linux OS???
SG: But sir I have installed Win7 Ult. on it.
Me: You've installed a pirated version of Win7 Ulti which costs 14k. It will definitely show "this copy of windows is not genuine". So we'll buy the laptop if you give us 7k discount, 50% price of Win7 Ult.
SG: Sorry sir I can't do that.
Me: then install Ubuntu back.
SG: I'll try sir.

After trying for an hour.
SG: ubuntu isn't installing on this laptop.
Me: Let me see. how many partitions did you created?
SG: only 1.
Me: WTF??
So, I explained how to install Ubuntu to the salesguy.

Before the time of final billing I did a check on flipkart (FK) and Dell India (DI). the shop price was higher. so i asked SG to give it for 2k less than FK price. He denied and let us talk with the shopkeeper (SK).

Me: we want it below FK price.
SK: I can't do it. FK is ruining our business.
Me: Look mister that SG installed a pirated Win7 Ult on an Ubuntu system while DI sells one with Win8 at same price. So, i should report your shop to dell india and they will probably blacklist you or have your license cancelled.
SK: Sir the billing has been done and i can't do anything about it.
Me: Only partial payment of 20k had been made, so if you're ready to sell it at 20k then i'm fine with it.
SK: I can't do that either sir.
Me: then give the money back, we will buy the laptop from FK or DI.

Moral of the story: Beware of shopkeepers, who may try to fool you. And always have latest price from FK ready.

^ You've educated them too much in a single day.
Whether they priced the laptop along with the w7 (pirated), separately for OS?

When you help friends buy tech product ask them not to waste your time before hands. If he wanted to buy whatever the salesman said why did he take you along. I never guide people like that.

Well thanks to TDF i'm good enough to make tech decisions myself...

So i bought my Pavilion G6-2005ax last October for 31k.
a month later every one was speaking of a guy in hostel who got same "APU" laptop for 30k with truckload of accessories.

Everyone said I'm an intelligent fool, so I went to check myself & found out that he had G6-2302ax with a A4 APU......
He said "Aap bade knowledgeable ho sakte hain par aap hamari tarah na bargain kar skte hain naa hi aap dukandar se jyada jaante hain.." :facepalm:

My friend was leaving town the next day and that laptop specs were comparable to G6 2310AX. he didn't want to get cheated.
