Let’s Sum it Up: Best Laptop Under 30000

Buyer’s Guide For The Best Laptop Under 30000

There are certain parameters that you must take into account while getting a new laptop. Since a laptop is an electronic device that requires a certain amount of investment. So, you can consider the following factors:

1. Usage

The first thing you need to decide is exactly how you are going to use a laptop. If you want a laptop for everyday use such as creating documents, checking emails, listening to music, watching movies then you can compromise on the Graphics card. It would be better to invest in the CPU and RAM. But if you are a hardcore gamer then go for the laptops having powerful graphics cards. Buying these laptops can be really pricey!

2. Processor

These days the 10th generation i3 CPUs come with great features that can rival the i5 and i7 chips of the earlier generations. Have a look at the table below to get a picture of the different CPU types and their capabilities below:

3. Operating System

Most laptops come with any one of three operating systems: Windows, Chrome OS, or macOS. Choosing the right one is a personal preference.

Windows 10 laptops are great for students, researchers, and business users, and the best for gamers. This is also one of the most user-friendly operating systems.

MacOS is for the high-end businessmen and for the Apple users. They are less friendly in terms of OS and do not offer any touch flexibility. They are almost similar to Windows 10 but can offer features like make transactions with Apple Pay, take calls or texts from their phones or even unlock their laptops with an Apple Watch. 

Chrome OS is a Linux kernel-based operating system designed and launched by Google. This is a light operating system that requires fewer hardware resources, unlike OS X and Windows. This is not suitable for high-end work or even gaming.

3. Storage Device

There are storage devices like HDD and SSD. Both these devices store and retrieve data whenever required and have their own pros and cons. Let us discuss these below:

HDD – Hard Disk Drives

These are the oldest disk drives in the world. The physical size of HDDs has reduced and increased storage capacity instead. HDDs use spinning disks for reading and writing data.

Pros:

• HDDs cost less as compared to SSD
• The HDDs are available with more storage space than SSDs.
• Works on a tested technology

Cons:

• It takes more time to find data
• They consume more energy and are heavier

SSD – Solid State Drives

The newest in the market, these use a kind of flash memory to deliver the finest performance. These do not use the heavy spinning disks for reading data.

Pros:

• These are lightweight compared to HDD
• Give a faster performance because of flash memory
• They use less energy and hence are more cooler

Cons:

• They have a less storage capacity as compared to HDD
• These are costlier than HDD’s

4. RAM

 Some laptops come with a memory of only 4 GB, but the ideal memory should be around 8 GB even on a budget of Rs. 30000. For the majority, a memory of 32 GB is ideal while for all-time gamers, 64 GB is a must.

5. Display
