Top 10 Laptops Under 35,000 INR Worth Buying in 2015

In the market for a new laptop? You’re in luck because of the interesting position Intel has itself in. After releasing the Haswell line of processors in 2013, Intel went ahead and introduced the next generation Broadwell processors in late 2014, but this time focused mainly on mobility applications. Desktop users meanwhile had to make do with a minor Haswell refresh. The Broadwell line, having just been released, has caused the still formidable Haswell powered laptops to drop in price. So you should be able to pick up a Core i5 powered laptop in under 35,000 INR, or a Core i3 powered laptop with a dedicated graphics card too, if you need it! Here’s our picks for the 10 best laptops under 35,000 INR in India, sorted by low to high price. There’s something for pretty much every application here, so no matter if you’re an office goer, casual gamer or designer, you should find something you like!

The Best Laptops of 2015 Under 35,000 INR

Fujitsu Lifebook A544

It may not be the most well known brand in India, but Fujistu is one of the most respected brands around the world. Their Lifebook series of laptops are well known for their durability and robustness, so if you have any apprehensions about picking one up, you can rest easy. The Lifebook A544 kicks off our list by being the most affordable laptop of the bunch, and pretty much the perfect office laptop. It’s one of the few to pack in a mobile processor that’s not power saving (the M range), so you can expect pretty good performance as well. There’s 3 USB 3.0 ports, a powerful battery and the option to upgrade RAM to 16 GB. For this price, we can’t ask for anything else!

Dell Inspiron 3541

Next, we have the Dell Inspiron 3541, powered by the AMD A6 APU. It’s not much of a processing powerhouse, but should do for daily use and light gaming. Since the APU has a built in 2 GB AMD Radeon HD R5 M230, HD content should be a breeze too. It’s got pretty much everything you need, 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB HDD, plus has Windows 8.1 installed out of the box. Dell’s widespread service network and proven reliability are bonuses as well. All we can say is, if you’re looking for a value for money deal, there’s almost nothing as good as this!

Dell Vostro 14 V3446

When we said there’s almost nothing as good as the previous laptop on our list, this was the exception. The Dell Vostro 14 is light, compact and packs a pretty mean punch at an extremely affordable price. Weighing in at 2 Kg and sporting a 14 inch display, the Vostro is perfect for office goers and commuters who travel around a lot with their laptops. The best part is that it will do just fine for casual gamers as well, because of the 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GT 820M dedicated graphics card. Only downside we see is that it doesn’t come with Windows installed, but if you’re not a Windows user or already have a license, this should be one of those eyes closed purchases.

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i3-4005U Dual Core Processor
• RAM: 4 GB RAM
• Storage: 500 GB HDD
• Graphics: 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GT 820M
• Screen: 14 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution

Lenovo Flex 2-14D (59-436783)

Now, if you’re not looking for a performance powerhouse but want something light, portable and multifunctional, look no further than the Lenovo Flex 2-14D. The feature list is nothing short of phenomenal. You get a touchscreen with convertible functionality, a backlit keyboard, 8 GB SSD, Windows 8.1 built in and a pretty formidable graphics chipset. The Flex 2 lets you turn the screen backwards upto 270 degrees, and can be operated only by the touchscreen.  It’s also the lightest on our list, weighing in at just 1.9 Kg. Check out the full specsheet and the price, you’ll be as surprised as we are!

HP 15-r032TX

Next we have the simple yet functional HP 15-r032TX. It’s got decent specs, a dedicated graphics card and comes with Windows 8.1 installed. If you’re looking for a light gaming machine that you can just buy and start setting up, this one should be your pick. Honestly it doesn’t stand out in terms of much else, but you can’t find much fault with it either. You should be able to find similar specs at lower prices, but those laptops probably don’t have Windows installed, so this is a good all round pick.

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i3-4005U Dual Core Processor
• RAM: 4 GB RAM, expandable upto 8 GB
• Storage: 500 GB HDD
• Graphics: 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GT 820M
• Screen: 15.6 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution
• Weight: 2.4 Kg
• OS: Windows 8.1
• Price: Rs. 33,490

Lenovo G50-70 (59-422406)

Lenovo’s offering’s tend to be on the slightly more expensive side, so it’s a little difficult to find Core i5’s under 35,000 INR, but if you’re not too concerned about that, there’s always this particular model. The G50-70 packs in a 4th generation Core i3 processor, 4 GB RAM and a dedicated 2 GB AMD Radeon HD R5 M230 graphics card. Combine that with Lenovo’s competent service network, it’s build quality and the included Windows 8.1, and you’ve got a pretty sweet deal!

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i3-4030U Dual Core Processor
• RAM: 4 GB RAM, expandable upto 8 GB
• Storage: 500 GB HDD
• Graphics: 2 GB AMD Radeon HD R5 M230
• Screen: 15.6 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution
• Weight: 2.5 Kg
• OS: Windows 8.1
• Price: Rs. 34,400

Dell Vostro 3546 (354654500iGU)

The Dell Vostro 3546 is a great office machine, offering power enough for all tasks, at a fairly affordable price. It’s one of those no nonsense laptops that scores high on reliability and durability. Again, the Dell name should appeal to many office goers. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with Windows built in. There’s also no dedicated graphics card, but the Core i5’s built in Intel HD Graphics should do just fine for tasks other than gaming. Considering it’s aiming for a different demographic altogether, it’s not something we can fault it with. Again, another good all round pick.

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i5-4210U Dual Core Processor (Upto 2.7 GHz Turbo Boost)
• RAM: 4 GB RAM, expandable upto 8 GB
• Storage: 500 GB HDD
• Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4400
• Screen: 15.6 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution
• Weight: 2.38 Kg
• OS: Ubuntu
• Price: Rs. 34,499

HP 15-r014TU

The HP 15-r014TU is an alternative to the Dell Vostro 3546 we mentioned above. If for some reason Dell’s don’t suit your fancy, there’s this laptop to consider. It’s got similar specs as the Dell, but has a larger 1 TB HDD instead of the 500 GB one on the former. It’s fairly light too, weighing in at 2.23 Kg, but doesn’t offer much else. Nevertheless, it is one of the cheapest 4th generation Core i5 laptops you can find. The only other con we see is the body, which is the same one used for a lot of other HP laptop models.

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i5-4210U Dual Core Processor (Upto 2.7 GHz Turbo Boost)
• RAM: 4 GB RAM, expandable upto 8 GB
• Storage: 1 TB HDD
• Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4400
• Screen: 15.6 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution
• Weight: 2.23 Kg
• OS: FreeDOS
• Price: Rs. 34,680

HP Compaq 15-s106TU

HP bought out Compaq and rebranded their offerings as budget performers a couple of years ago. Although sporting similar designs and the same customer support network, the Compaq range tend to be more durable and better built. The 15-s106TU from Compaq is a good all round performer and features specs pretty much identical to the HP 15-r014TU. The only difference is that this particular Compaq model also comes with Windows 8.1 built in. Here’s the specsheet:

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i5-4210U Dual Core Processor (Upto 2.7 GHz Turbo Boost)
• RAM: 4 GB RAM, expandable upto 8 GB
• Storage: 1 TB HDD
• Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4400
• Screen: 15.6 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution
• Weight: 2.23 Kg
• OS: Windows 8.1
• Price: Rs. 34,890

HP Compaq 15-s104TX

Okay so we cheated here a little bit, because the HP Compaq 15-S104TX is a shade above 35,000 INR, but that extra price is actually worth it. It’s the only laptop in this range that offers both a 4th generation Core i5 processor, and a dedicated 2 GB graphics card. Plus, there’s a 1 TB HDD thrown in, so it’s pretty much a budget gamer’s dream. The combination of the processor and graphics card should let you play some of the newest games at low-medium settings, and for the price, it’s a steal. Hence, the exception!

• Processor: 1.7 GHz Core i5-4210U Dual Core Processor (Upto 2.7 GHz Turbo Boost)
• RAM: 4 GB RAM, expandable upto 8 GB
• Storage: 1 TB HDD
• Graphics: 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GT 820M
• Screen: 15.6 inches, 1366 x 768 px resolution
• Weight: 2.23 Kg
• OS: FreeDOS
• Price: Rs. 35,990
