INR 69,999 includes GST here. That is roughly $830 landed if I import it. Not worth the hassle.
Does the 6,500 mAh battery actually last through a long commute or is the 144 Hz refresh rate too power hungry?
The 45W charging is decent but I worry about the 30W wireless speed with that large cell. Battery life should be fine though.
Liquid cooling with a micro pump sounds like noise and failure points. I prefer passive graphite sheets.
Android 16 out of the box is weird but the three major updates is a nice touch for the price.
