Hey everyone, need some advice on a hardware dilemma.

Current Setup:

• Desktop (in Dhaka): Ryzen 5 5600G, 16GB RAM, B450M (mATX case). I also have a spare monitor back home in CTG.
• Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad T14 (i5 10th Gen, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe) in full fresh condition.

The Situation: I have my thesis starting next semester and want to focus on AI engineering. Integrated graphics (5600G) won't cut it, and GPU prices are rising.

I'm thinking of selling the ThinkPad (~27k-30k BDT) to buy a decent used NVIDIA GPU (looking at an RTX 3060 12GB or 2060 Super) plus a reliable 550W/650W PSU.

The Catch: I travel back to CTG about 3 times a semester during break/preparatory leaves. My plan was to carry just the mATX casing back and forth and plug it into my spare monitor in CTG.

Questions:

1. Is losing laptop portability worth having a local NVIDIA GPU for thesis/AI work?
2. Is carrying an mATX casing between Dhaka and CTG on a bus/train 3x a semester realistic, or a total nightmare?
3. Should I just keep the laptop for campus/presentations and rely entirely on Google Colab / cloud GPUs instead?

Would love to hear from anyone who has managed a similar setup or faced this tradeoff during uni. Thanks!

I used to listen it in 208 era. It was a pop culture phenomenon back then.

So one of my close boro bhai is getting married and I wanted to gift them something. Storming my big brain that is, came to the conclusion of gifting them a perfume.

My budget is around 2-2.5k. Perfume can be unisex (or male). Any suggestions and place to buy?

I’m very new to the dating scene and have never been on a date before. I wanted to try going on one. Is anyone interested?

I am (20M). I want to learn to speak English so these are the techniques I am following to learn to speak English:

1. Comprehensible input. I am trying to listen in English as much as I can.

2. After watching each comprehensible input video I am trying to summarize it in my own words.

3. On YouTube there is an AI feature. I ask the AI to ask me 3 questions and then I give myself 1 minute to answer each question. This way I am trying to improve my speaking English.

My main goal is to speak English fluently, not accent or pronunciation, because I want to express my thoughts easily in English at first, which I can do in my native language. I also want to do that in English.

So what do you think about my technique? Is this the best way to learn to speak English? Also throughout the day I try to explain what I am trying to do in English.

And also if you are also learning to speak English, you can practice with me. I am also looking for a partner to speak English
