India-specific PC guides.
The stuff PCPartPicker doesn't cover. Warranty traps, parallel imports, GST math, vendor quirks, voltage problems. Written from a decade in the Indian PC industry - not generated by a content farm.
The bar
- Every guide answers one specific question with first-hand experience. No 'top 10' listicles, no chasing search volume for its own sake.
- All prices live in our parts catalog and auto-update across every guide. No stale numbers - the date the prices were last verified is shown on every article.
- Indian context first. Voltage sags, parallel imports, GST quirks, vendor-specific warranty paths - these are the moats nobody from outside India can replicate.
- First-person voice, opinionated, with actual recommendations. If I think a part is bad, I'll say so. If a vendor handles RMAs badly, I'll name them.
