Congrats mate.

 

Are you the first one to get a DE?

 

thanks buddy! On twitter I saw a guy posting pics of Indian DE in June beginning. 

 

btw, the import date on my DE is Feb-21 (Same as that guy on Twitter). They been sitting on it for months now.

 

Also, the Sony Centre guy said next restock is in July. So, start prepping :D

 Yes. Have already downloaded and installed. Hoping to play this weekend if all goes well. Busy with office on weekdays and with Cowin on weekends. :D

 

Nice! Let us know what you think of the headset and overall experience, please :D

 

Also, did you pick it up from Amazon?

This week, I am retiring my trust old Alienware(980m, i7 6700HQ, 16GB Ram with 4k screen) with a heavy heart. It was my first gaming machine and after its 5 year long service I will Be passing it along to someone to continue enjoying as it is still highly capable.

Replacing it with a Rog Scar 15 (3070, Ryzen 9, 32GB Ram with WQHD screen), and it is blowing me away as the performance difference is more than I ever dared hope for. I keep maxing out sliders and it keeps pushing frames.

Benchmarks here:

Though.. it's a clear downgrade in terms of the build quality, speakers and screen, It is literally half the weight and 3x as fast, and the extra coital appeal is undeniable.

Yeah, I get that a lot, funnily enough.

But idk... I bought this with 2 months of my savings, and my last one lasted me 5 years. I am able to justify it to myself.

Yup it has 2 ram slots and 2 M.2 slots.

M.2 slot DO NOT support sata. Only NVMe. My older laptop came with low tier NVMe drive and I got a samsung sata m.2 at some point. wanted to carry over the sata but couldn't.

On the 32 Gig models it comes with 2x 16Gig sticks. These are dual rank 3200MHz sticks.

Cost me 1.9L

Also had the option of this exact same spec but 16Gig ram on the Strix G15 for 1.6L

Got through an offline retailer.
