How we do our research
Our ranking criteria
We consider each laptop’s features, weight and size, battery life, display and resolution, processor, RAM, hard drive capacity, operating system and most important price range. Additionally, we also consider other factors such as brand and warranty.
Things to look for while buying a laptop
Screen size
The ideal screen size of a laptop range from 11 to 17-inches. It is ideal to choose a screen size between 12 and 14 inches as they are easy to carry around. Not just screen size, but the resolution matters too. You should always go for at least 1920 × 1080 resolution Full HD.
Budget
There are laptops with different specifications and features priced from Rs. 25,000 onwards. Decide your budget and restrict your laptop search within that. It will help you to narrow down your search.
CPU
We all are familiar with Intel CPUs but AMD's Ryzen CPUs have been making their way to budget laptops. AMD's Ryzen 4000 and Ryzen 5000 series laptops offer higher performance at a lesser price.
GPU
If you are not going to play games, edit videos/ photos or do other graphics-heavy tasks, then an integrated GPU is more than enough for you to carry on with your daily computing tasks. However, if you are planning to do some gaming and photos/video edit then, Nvidia's latest GeForce RTX™ 30 Series laptops will do the job.
RAM
A minimum of 8GB of RAM is essential in current times and for decent working and if you want to perform some heavy tasks then try to get a laptop with 16GB of RAM for a smooth experience.
