Meeting the in-laws in Delhi, what do you take from Bengaluru that will last a plane ride and will be a good gift?

What are some genuinely good food related things you take for family/friends in other cities that people actually get excited about?

I’m trying to think beyond the usual sweets/snacks.

I’m thinking along the lines of:
- artisanal chocolates
- really good bakeries/bread (beyond regular sourdough)
- small-batch snacks
- unique local brands
- airport-friendly stuff

Basically things that feel a little premium/special and not just standard mithai boxes.

Would love specific store/brand recommendations.

Thank you!

Hi all - need a laptop for Dad. His needs are Canva, streaming content and using some old business softwares that work only with Windows. Doesn’t work on Snapdragon. No thinkpads.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

$1000

Are you open to refurbs/used?

only if I can find a really pristine one

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

build quality needs to be metal. (Last XPS bought in 2017 became sticky due to humidity)

Last for multiple years

Don’t need touchscreen (avoid if possible)

Performance needs to be good

Battery life

How important is weight and thinness to you?

Not too heavy. Screen size max of 14 for portability.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

Max of 14’’

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

canva

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

no gaming

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

preferably no touchscreen, don’t need the battery drain.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Is it wise to get him a Dell XPS again? Is it worth the $$? (Aprrox $1200)

Thank you all!
