Inexpensive entry-level laptops have gotten increasingly powerful over the years. These days, a sub-Rs 30000 laptop not only has ample power to run your office applications, create presentations, and stream movies online but also lets users play video games in their free time. So if you are looking for a budget laptop that will meet your everyday computation needs without breaking the bank, you’ve come to the right place. Because here, we will tell you about the best laptops under Rs 30000 for students who attend classes from home, teachers, newbie gamers, and more.
Compared to a few years ago, Rs 30000 won’t buy you many gaming laptops, 2-in-1 convertibles, or ultra-books anymore. The depreciating rupee and multiple price hikes by online retailers during the pandemic means that you will only get basic all-purpose laptops under Rs 30000 as of today. Either way, for this list, we have still managed to round up some pretty decent and affordable laptops, including 2-in-1 convertibles and Chromebooks. So without further ado, let’s check out the best laptops under Rs 30000 you can buy in India circa 2021.
