We’re completely aware that purchasing laptops is not the easiest endeavor for an average consumer. The multitude of brands, configurations, and features make the decision quite a puzzling and difficult task for them. However, it all boils down to personal preferences, as well as the use-case for purchasing any computer hardware at the end. Well, the laptop ecosystem has matured a lot in the past years and we now have a number of plausible options, even in the mid-range segment. And it’s not like you will get the bare bones for 40000 INR. Some hardware makers are now also providing dedicated graphics cards with their laptop offerings. Hence, we have compiled a list of laptops under 40k to make it easier for you to pick a cheaper laptop right away. Let’s check out the list of all available options right here:
1. Asus K510UQ
The outright best laptop under Rs. 40000 has to be the Asus K510UQ that’s available for exactly Rs. 40,000. Asus K510UQ features a typically Asus design, and comes with thin bezels as well, so it looks quite modern. In terms of specs, the laptop features an 8th-gen Core i5 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 1TB hard drive. That’s pretty impressive in the price range. Plus, the laptop comes with 2GB of Nvidia 940MX graphics, which is obviously not the greatest GPU you can have, but the 940MX is a decent GPU still and for this price, it’s a great set of specifications.
Without a doubt, Asus VivoBook X507 is one of the best laptop offerings in the said price segment. It boasts of a lightweight design, at just 1.68 kgs, and a brushed metal finish in the overall design to provide a top-notch experience while featuring impressive specs to come out on top as a multimedia powerhouse. Powered by the 6th-gen Intel i3 Processor along with a whopping 8GB of DDR4 RAM, the VivoBook is a superb performer. In fact, the RAM on this laptop is clocked at 2666MHz as opposed to the standard 2400MHz frequency, which is a big plus. You get a Full HD 15.6-inch display along with a full sized keyboard, with zero compromises.
3. Lenovo Yoga 500
If you’re looking for a laptop under Rs. 40000 that brings an SSD as well, the Lenovo Yoga 500 is the one to go for. The Yoga 500 comes with a 5th-gen core i5 processor (running at 2.2GHz) paired with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Along with that, there’s an 8GB SSD that will help Windows boot up blazing fast on this laptop.
Launched in mid-2017, the Lenovo Ideapad 320 lineup succeeds the company’s popular 120S series laptop. The Chinese hardware maker has redefined the design and packed a punch into their 320S laptops to cut through the noise in the mid-range laptop segment.
The Ideapad 320S is a sleek and lightweight offering, with a 14-inch FullHD display and 7th-gen Intel Core i3 processor (clocked at 2.4GHz) to make it easier to power through your daily projects. This is topped off by the minimum memory and storage specifications, 4GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB HDD. Lenovo touts the battery life of this laptop to be somewhere in the ballpark of 7-8 hours.
5. Dell Vostro 3478
It is not necessary that you’re in the market to purchase a laptop for just entertainment purposes. If you’re a developer who’s been scouring the web for a Linux-powered laptop, then you’ll find that Dell Vostro 14 3000 is the ultimate package you can get under the 40,000 price tag.
6. HP 15-DA0074TX
If you’re looking for a laptop under Rs. 40000 that brings 8GB of RAM and comes with DOS so you can easy install any operating system on it, the HP 15-DA0047TX is one you should consider buying. The laptop comes with a 7th-gen Core i3 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 1TB hard disk.
AMD’s new Ryzen processors are quite powerful, and if you’re looking for a laptop under Rs. 40000 that brings a Ryzen processor, the Inspiron 15 5000 from Dell is one to consider. The laptop features a Ryzen 3 processor clocked at 2.5GHz with turbo boost up to 3.4GHz so you shouldn’t have any bottlenecks due to the processor. Other than that, there’s 4GB of RAM here, and a 1TB hard drive running at 5400 RPM.
If you’re not into widescreen laptops, there’s no need to fret because HP has a similar (but a lot powerful) offering but with a smaller 14-inch HD Brightview display. The laptop is powered by 7th-gen Intel Core i5-7200U processor, coupled with the usual RAM+storage combo (4GB+1TB) we’ve grown accustomed to with this list. It is also one that comes with Windows 10 Home pre-installed on the device.
This HP notebook brings a sturdy build, with a combination of paints, patterns, and textures with Chrome-finished hinges to the table. But, it may not be enough to woo the customers. My biggest qualm with this laptop would have to be the fact that you’re not getting the complete worth for the steep increase in price over the 15-inch laptop we suggested above. I believe it could’ve been compensated with a graphics card on this laptop but it is still a great pick.
