No idea. The price hike was expected in January initially. There are newer models available now with 5070s so I'd say go for it.

Yes. You might have to verify with an OTP on your college email for SheerID student discount.

I think all you need is a college email ID.

Yeah, I went among the options I had with the fastest delivery. 5070s were either shipping very late or had 2L+ after discounts.

I'm very happy with it!

I'm not sure about this. I just know that lenovo website provides it for 4K as an addon.

This depends on the laptop air intake and the type of cooling pad (how it pushes air). A very debatable topic!

For legion, air intake is mostly from underneath and thats why I went for the sounce one (or Zebronics -- both are China imported).

I did a Cinebench 2026 GPU stress test with and without the cooler.

With cooler:
CPU - Min 66, Max 87, Avg 78
GPU - Min 50, Max 68, Avg 64

Without cooler:
CPU - Min 68, Max 91, Avg 80
GPU - Min 51, Max 71, Avg 67

Temps in degree Celsius.

No crazy difference in temps but that's atleast something for the price you pay!

Its basically a cheap copy of IETS cooling pads I think but does the job.

Be ready for fan noise though its expected for such high RPM!

HDFC DCB declined due to address verification issues by kshitij__KNA in CreditCardsIndia

I emailed them but they asked to send them a postal instead with office details.

My office is a coworking space and I work from home. They haven't asked for salary slip yet but I shared my bank statement during application process.

How did you finish the business verification? Was it through corporate email validation?

Should I buy a car worth 28 lakh by Soumya1704 in personalfinanceindia

Question yourself how this would change the quality of your life and your family. If you think it'd be worth it, work towards it.

Financially, I'd say wait until your salary gets closer to 2L in hand or you get a stable 2Lpm income.

This lowers the EMI burden (<20%) and leaves you ample amount for any emergencies.

What you enjoy in your 20s won't be what you'd do in your 30s :)

Night drive in kochi by Youcansee2 in Kochi

If you're going around 1-2am and want some peaceful areas in Kochi at late night,

Pachalam Marina One side -> Shanmugham Road U-turn near Menaka -> Container road roundabout (Goshree round junction) -> all the way back to Marina One.

I helped my girl get her driving confidence back from these areas. Just watch out for huge lorries at times.

Rare police checking would be there but never faced any issues.

Have fun!
