As technology evolves, so does our reliance on laptops. Whether you're working from home, a student pursuing online studies, or someone who just enjoys the convenience of being connected, a reliable laptop is a necessity. However, getting a top-tier laptop
without burning a hole in your pocket is no easy task, especially when the market is saturated with a plethora of options.
For those on a budget, fret not! Laptops under ₹30,000 are your go-to solution. No, these aren't going to serve the needs of heavy-duty gamers or hardcore video editors. But what they can offer is impressive efficiency in handling everyday tasks, including web browsing, word processing, video streaming, and more.
In this listicle, we're rounding up the best laptops under ₹30,000. These affordable devices may not boast top-tier specifications, but they definitely provide excellent value for money, delivering solid performance for general tasks, coupled with the reliability you need for your day-to-day digital activities. And that’s thanks to quad-core chips from Intel that have become available at such an affordable price point.
For instance, the ASUS Vivobook 14 comes equipped with an Intel Pentium Silver N6000 quad-core processor. It can achieve a maximum burst frequency of 3.30GHz and consumes only 6W power. Thus making it ideal for handling everyday tasks. Moreover, you can also get your hands on a Chromebook at this price point. The HP Chromebook x360 is a convertible Chromebook, thanks to a 360-degree hinge. And it also comes with an HD touchscreen, something almost impossible to get at this price point.
Another really feature-rich laptop at this price point is the Infinix INBook Y1 Plus as it comes loaded with a 10th gen Intel Core i3 processor. Now, provided that this chip is quite old at this point but it is more than enough for handling everyday tasks.
