Seeking Help Suggest a Laptop within 40K

[Siddarth27]

I'm planning to buy a laptop during the upcoming sale. I mainly use it for AutoCAD, QGIS, and Microsoft Office. I want it to work well for at least the next four years.

Thanks in advance.

I just got zenbook , and it works like a GOAT.
Look if vivobook or zenbook comes at affordable rates . Even if its around 50k

40k is really tight bro in today's time. Laptop prices have soared in the last couple of years. You will only get a basic laptop in 40k. Isn't AutoCAD graphics and cpu intensive? Not sure if you'll get the performance you required.

This laptop is already 2 year old. It will be difficult to use for another 4 year. And the processor was launched more than 4 years ago.
Buy something launched in the last 6 months (1 year maximum). This is valid for all electronic products.

Yes you should increase your budget with at least 18k, around 58k you will get decent Laptops. I'd suggest you to go with Ryzen as they're efficient and comes at really good Price. Try to check out latest Snapdragon X plus powered laptops as arm chips are the future, currently starts from ₹62k you might get discounts from tomorrow in the sales. Great battery life good CPU and capable GPU. Also decent 45 TOPS great for NPU related tasks.
Note: check the specific software/app (that you intend to use) native support as it is ARM chipset only limited softwares native support available. Even though it can emulate but headache to use easily as it crashes and has bugs.

Yes. Snapdragon processor laptops are the ones you should get right now (if the software you use are supported). I have been suggesting it to all my friends for a while now. Laptops with Snapdragon X Plus are easily available at 50-60k during sales (don't buy Snapdragon X at that price). X Elite laptops have also come down below ₹1L now.
I wish I bought my laptop now. I am tired of charging my Laptop every 3-4 hour. Even Intel's new Lunar Lake series of processors are an amazing competition to Snapdragon.
