Buying a laptop in India can be a herculean task. With so many similar choices and so many technical specs, it remains a tough job to choose the right laptop even for the most tech-savvy people. So we tried to make it easier for you by sorting out five best laptops that are available for less than Rs. 30k.
We kept 2 criteria in mind while choosing these devices: powerful processors and a minimum 4GB of RAM, as a perfect combination of these two can provide smooth performance for most tasks of everyday computing. Other features were also considered, but these two aspects remained primary considerations for our selection. And here’s what we found:
#1. HP 15-AC122TU
This affordable laptop from HP comes with a 2.0 Ghz 5th Gen Core i3 processor, Intel HD Graphics 5500, 3 MB cache with 2 cores, 15.6-inch HD BrightView WLED display and 1 TB hard drive. It includes two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port and dual speakers with DTS Studio Sound. It’s available for purchase on Amazon for Rs. 26,999.
#2. Dell Inspiron 15 3542
Dell is a reliable brand, and their product offering in the under 30k segment is a good one. The Inspiron 15 3542 laptop from Dell comes with a 1.7 GHz 4th Generation Core i3 processor, Intel HD Graphics 4400, 15.6-inch HD LED backlit display, 1TB hard drive and Linux operating system, which may seem slightly disappointing to Windows users. But that’s not a major issue as you can get Windows installed yourself on this decently configured laptop. It’s available for Rs. 26,199 on Amazon.
#3. Lenovo G50-80
Lenovo proudly touts its G50-80 laptop as a product made for everyday use. It comes in several different configurations, but the one that costs less than Rs. 30,000 is model number 80E502Q8IH. It comes with 2.0 GHz 5th Gen Core i3 processor, Intel HD Graphics, 15.6-inch HD LED display, Dolby Advanced Audio, 1 TB hard drive and a battery that can power the laptop for up to 4 hours. It includes three USB ports, two of which are USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0. And it comes with Lenovo’s one year onsite warranty. You can buy it from Snapdeal for Rs. 25,499.
#4. HP 15-AF006AX
This one is for those of you who prefer AMD over Intel. This laptop from HP comes with a 2.2 GHz AMD Quad Core A8 processor, 15.6-inch HD LED display, 2 GB AMD Radeon R5 Series M330 Graphics, 500 GB Hard Drive, three USB ports (2 USB 2.0 + 1 USB 3.0), 4 hours battery life and 1 year onsite warranty. It’s available on Amazon for Rs. 27,000.
#5. Dell Vostro 15 3558
If your budget is less than 20k INR, look no further than Vostro 15 3558 laptop from Dell. It comes with Pentium Dual-Core processor, Intel HD Graphics, 15.6-inch HD LED display, 500GB Hard Drive and a battery that can last for 3 and a half hours. And just like Inspiron 15 listed above, this one also comes with Ubuntu OS rather than Windows. But the best thing about this laptop is its 1 year onsite warranty, which also covers accidental damage.
Now that may sound like a very good deal, but before you jump on to it, I’d suggest reading the full terms and conditions of warranty on the company’s website. In the end if you want to go for it then It’s available for Rs. 19,990 on Flipkart.
So this was our roundup of top 5 laptops that come with 4 GB of RAM and cost less than 30k INR. As you can see, you can get pretty nicely configured computers from reliable brands for as little as 20k INR. However, when it comes to laptops rather than going for the most affordable one you should go for the most reasonable one. That is, you should choose a laptop primarily on the basis of your usage requirements. Now with our list in hand that choice shouldn’t be too difficult. All the best!
