I need to buy a new laptop for under Rs.25,000
I need to buy a new laptop
for under Rs.25,000. What can I expect to get within this strict budget?
Laptops available under `25,000 are equipped to handle basic
computing tasks like internet browsing, social networking, e-mailing,
office productivity (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint), for watching HD (and
sometimes Full HD) videos and listening to music. Now, if you are
looking for... PORTABILITY, opt for laptops that front a smaller
(11.6inch, 1366x768px) display and are kitted with flash memory instead
of a high-capacity hard drive. While this puts a limitation on the how
much software you can install, you get a more responsive system with
faster boot and wake times.You also get a microSD card slot to augment
storage and free cloud storage subscriptions that are offered with these
laptops. Moreover, machines that are built for portability are
incredibly light with excellent battery life of over seven hours of
basic usage on a single charge.
Here, you can consider the
ASUS EeeBook X205 (`14,999),
which weighs just under a
kilogram, is powered by a 1.33GHz
quad-core Intel Atom processor,
has 2GB RAM and comes with 32GB
eMMC memory. You also get free
500GB ASUS WebStorage space for two years.
If you need connectivity on the move, then buy the “3G-enabled“ HP Stream 11-d023tu (`19,990), which comes with a SIM slot. This 1.27kg laptop is powered by a 2.16GHz dual-core Intel Celeron processor and includes a memory card reader. You also get a year's subscription to Office 365 Personal and 1TB of OneDrive cloud space.
For STORAGE, you can look at the Lenovo G50-30 (80G0015GIN) (`25,620) or the HP Notebook 15-r119tu (`24,490). Both laptops sport a 15.6-inch HD display, are powered by a 2.16GHz Intel Pentium quad-core processor, 4GB RAM and come with a DVD-RW optical drive. The Lenovo is equipped with a 1TB hard drive while the HP machine has a 500GB one.
All the machines listed here come with a licensed copy of the Windows 8 operating system, and they're ready to use straight out of the box.
Before you make a buying decision, check these different devices for build quality, screen for viewing angles and visibility in bright light, speakers for audio, and keyboard for typing comfort.Note: Inquire about buy back schemes for an old laptop. For example, HP has a buy back program on its website where you can get an approximate estimate for branded, working nonworking laptops.
