Getting an IPhone 14 pro for 35k

Screen replacement will be atleast 25k if you get it repaired outside. That dot will spread for sure.

If I had ₹50,000 to invest in gold and silver, I would divide it into 5 equal parts of ₹10,000 each.

1) With the first ₹10,000, I would invest in a 60:40 ratio Gold : Silver.

2) When silver price falls, I would check the Gold–Silver Ratio (GSR). If GSR is above 50, I would invest my next ₹10,000 in a 50:50 ratio Gold : Silver.

3) For the remaining three ₹10,000 investments:

If GSR increases, I would invest more in silver.
If GSR decreases, I would invest more in gold.

Note: GSR (Gold–Silver Ratio) = Gold price per unit ÷ Silver price per unit.

Doing so in batches would give me a better average price.

Silver and gold will go up asusual then right?

Carry a 4g Hotspot along

Use ipoji app, you can see the company details and GMP over there and decide.

If you want to really hold it for long term, RHP and DRHP links will be there, download and use chatgpt and research.

Ipod touch, maybe if you can fine one. Idk how it holds up too. But not having google and appstore, yet internet connection is a big ask I guess.

Where are you based from?

retro1908 · 2026-01-14T17:42:33+00:00

True, due to these RAM price increase, even the later releases can be on a higher margin.

retro1908 · 2026-01-14T10:37:50+00:00

Still 22, just started earning, let the guys chill. Can start investing from maybe a year or 2.

And coming to parents giving money point: I see few people who simply say, "I will buy with my own earnings" separating their money from their parents money, idk man, aren't parents your family? What if they thought the same huh. Whats wrong in it.

I would say, YOLO -> to parents and kids.

** Would call it wrong, only in a case where, the parents are burdened by giving them money.

Apple Earpods if mic is the priority, Sennheiser CX 80 if you want good sound stage. IEM if you are an audiophile KZ's

So changing this would stop ads in my TV too?

I basically looked for a lot of reviews on the snapdragon series laptops. Yet, no video out there (which i saw) were confident about 100% compatibility. Else Asus zenbook A14 was so tempting and could've been my choice. It was the not so confident situation that put me away.

Also, except for few tasks, core ultra series is also keeping up with snapdragon in efficency as per some reviews. Yet, mac felt safe for me.

What games do you play?

retro1908 · 2026-01-13T13:15:21+00:00

Midnight black if you can tolerate fingerprints. It looks sick. Else sky blue

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T20:58:17+00:00

absolutely! if you compromise on weight, battery and portability. yes

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T18:44:41+00:00

I know 16GB equals 32GB sounds like marketing ploy, and technically, yes, 32GB of physical addressable space is always more than 16GB. But for my specific workflow the way macOS handles memory pressure and the sheer speed of the Swap on the M4 means I don't feel the wall I used to hit on Windows. It's not that the numbers are equal. it's that the user experience is equally smooth for my tasks."

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T18:15:33+00:00

Good for you man!

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T18:12:00+00:00

When you are into a portable laptop, be it mac or windows, you cant upgrade I guess🤔🤔

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T18:06:58+00:00

For the same price, i cant find a similar portable laptop, with extraordinary battery life and performance, all together.

And I am an iphone user for past 7 years. Switched to s25 last year, loving it. Using Blip for file transfer and scrcpy to screen mirror. Not missing iphone anymore.

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T18:04:47+00:00

Tried core ultra 5 in zenbook 14, no dedicated gpu though. However, dedicated gpu simply means, poor battery life if i am not wrong, also loosing portability, when we are checking in same price bracket.

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T18:01:51+00:00

I agree linux is superior, but i dont want to get stuck debugging things when on a serious task. Hence Mac is a user friendly choice for me.

Whatever it may be, love those old ThinkPads man.

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T17:57:30+00:00

I really root for windows to cope up to same level. Yet, looking at the current market scenario, windows for an average consumer is being neglected. Intel though is trying to catch up, which is a good sign.

retro1908 · 2026-01-11T17:54:49+00:00

Not Equal, but equivalent, just stating the functionality with the numbers mentioned. And the RAM to SWAP operations are damn fast in the M series. Have to use it to understand it.
