To help you on your search we have gathered a conclusive list of laptops under the Rs 30,000 price point. This particular range has some great options and we bring you the best picks!
As a potential buyer, evaluating the best deal in laptops under Rs 30,000, you need to be clear about your priority in terms of features and then see what’s the best price fit, rather than the other way around. While building your priority list keep in mind the following:
- Do I need the laptop for general internet surfing and usual MS Office applications? Remember, the Intel i3 Core 5th generation processor will meet most of your expectations. Avoid buying any earlier generation processor.
- Do I need it for gaming or other heavy graphics? You will need lots of RAM – minimum 8GB DDR3 and upwards, along with a fast Graphics card and processor. Within Rs 30,000 there are limited options for gaming enthusiasts, but a smart combination of specs can still offer you a great deal.
- Do I need a lot of storage on the laptop or do I prefer external back-up? If you prefer to store on laptops then go in for a 1TB storage and in case you prefer to keep most files in an external back-up, then 500GB should be just fine.
- Is the screen size and laptop weight as issue? Here it’s a trade-off between weight and screen size. Most of the lighter ones come with smaller screen size, so based on your priority you can take that call.
- Check whether the system comes with or without Windows 10, as that has a bearing on the final cost.
Based on these you can list your priority and then see which laptop offers the best specifications and then look for the lowest cost option.
