The configuration looks almost perfect for my use case, but I'm hesitant because I've never owned an MSI laptop and don't know much about their long-term ownership experience.

My workload is mainly ML models, data analysis, Docker containers, multitasking. I don't need a gaming laptop or a powerful dedicated GPU. My priorities are CPU performance, battery life, portability and longevity.

I'd especially appreciate input from people who actually own this laptop or have owned MSI Prestige/Business laptops.

how does the battery hold up after 2–3+ years?

Battery health / degradation

Build quality

MSI after-sales service in India?

How is MSI's after-sales service in India, especially for Prestige laptops?

I'm in Delhi, so I can potentially buy it from an MSI-authorized store in Nehru Place rather than Flipkart.

If you've had to deal with MSI service:

• How was the experience?
• Were repairs handled quickly?
• Were replacement parts available?
• Were there problems getting warranty claims approved?
• How expensive are repairs after warranty?

Would you trust MSI enough to buy a ₹1 lakh-ish laptop for long-term use?

Would you recommend buying this from an MSI-authorized offline store instead of Flipkart?

Thanks.

I’m planning to buy a laptop in India, but I’ve noticed that prices have increased a lot recently.
For example, a laptop I was tracking was around ₹52k about 8 months ago (45k after bank discount and sale) and the same/similar configuration is now around ₹65–69k.
I don’t urgently need to buy it right now, so I’m wondering whether I should wait. I need it in the next month or upcoming 2 months.
For people who regularly track laptop prices in India,
Do you think these current price increases are temporary, or should we expect prices to stay this high?
Is there any realistic chance that laptops in the ₹50–60k range will come back down?

Are the upcoming Amazon/Flipkart/Diwali sales likely to give meaningful discounts, or will the inflated prices simply get discounted from a higher MRP?
Historically, what has been the best time of year to get a good laptop deal in India?

I need a laptop for work, and it should give smooth support to ML models, running libraries, multi-tasking.

I’m mainly looking for price-market advice rather than laptop recommendations.

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Operations Research and I want to build strong Machine Learning skills alongside my degree, with the eventual goal of being competitive for data science roles.
I’m considering starting Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning Specialization (DeepLearning.AI / Stanford Online) on Coursera.

Is the current Machine Learning Specialization still a good course in 2026? or Is it considered outdated compared with newer ML courses? and Are there better courses/resources you would recommend today for someone starting ML from the fundamentals?
Does it teach enough practical skills to eventually become job-ready, or should I use it mainly for fundamentals and then move to other resources?
How important is learning PyTorch today? The specialization uses TensorFlow, so I’m wondering whether that is a disadvantage.
Since my background is Operations Research rather, what would you recommend I learn alongside the course?
I’m not looking for a course that just gives me a certificate. My goal is to actually develop the skills needed for data-related jobs and build good projects.
Would appreciate recommendations for a realistic learning path in 2026.

Hey guys, I want to buy the Asus Expertbook P3 (16/512, ultra 7 255H) laptop from Flipkart. Flipkart has that Flipkart SBI credit card (I don’t have it yet) offer which gives ₹13k OFF. I feel that’s a good deal. However I have also seen many videos on youtube, social media where the customer was struggling to get his product issues resolved regarding. Sometimes, damaged products are delivered which they later found (after delivery) and then it becomes extremely hard, sometimes impossible, to return. Even the laptop’s brand doesn’t help the customer.
What do you think guys? What are the odds?

I came across a comment claiming that untouchability originally existed because Shudras had “stronger immunity,” were assigned based on immunity rather than birth, lived separately for public health reasons, had their own temples because of “different energies,” and that scriptures were later altered to make the system look discriminatory.
I have never seen credible historical evidence for these claims.
My concern isn’t that someone is offering an interpretation of history, it’s that these claims are presented as established fact without any primary sources or mainstream historical scholarship.
If we’re going to make extraordinary claims that overturn centuries of documented history, shouldn’t the burden of proof be extraordinarily high?
Are these simply modern reinterpretations intended to justify a system that has been widely documented as discriminatory?

I’ve noticed that throughout Dexter, Dexter Morgan is basically the definition of a “clean lifestyle man.” No smoking, no tattoos, doesn’t watch adult videos, barely touches hard liquor (mostly just beer), and he almost never uses bad words, swears—only dropping the F-word in rare moments.

So what’s going on here? Is there an in-universe explanation for Dexter’s super controlled, almost suspiciously disciplined behavior? Or was this a deliberate creative choice by the writers/showrunners to make him feel more detached, clinical, and kind of unsettling?

Also, has Michael C. Hall or anyone from the production ever commented on why Dexter is written like he’s permanently in “silent lone wolf sigma mode”?
Basically, is this just character design… or is it more like peak emotional suppression with intentional aesthetic choices?

I applied for 2 courses on DU portal, and I got a seat in one of them. Does DU require candidates to withdraw from their existing seat in a different course before becoming eligible for the Spot Round for other course? If that rule applies, then participating in the Spot Round would indeed mean giving up your seat in the course you already got?
OR If I apply for spot round for the other course, It will automatically withdraw from the seat I got?
