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.

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.

I suggest you to go to Dell and Lenovo both are very good quality in terms availability of stores, build quality, Speakers also good and longer support for hardware. I suggest you to first check processor with serial number, ram, windows os and ssd in your price point.

Don't just buy laptop from online stores with just mentioned latest generation, once you unboxed it , later you will find it's old processor from 1-3 years announced already.

I saw the seller's from Flipkart are mostly doing it to selling old stock with so many discounts. You need to check if it's Intel processor, AMD at 40K price. Both are good. Buy atleast 8GB for office work or 16GB for high core graphics and editing.

When you buy a new laptop - Charger up to 80% - Use till your battery reach 30% - Always updated your device drivers and windows - Use a good wallpaper. Don't use unofficial or power hungry apps. Use professionally apps with license. Don't use IDM.

It's your own fault to charging laptop once you have brought you did 100% charged at every time. You need to stop charging at 80% which will made your laptop longer charging capacity.
I'm using DELL XPS 15 which is 11th Gen and Still is running good also 6 hours backup with graphics card running.

1. You need to stop using unofficial apps.
2. Clean your laptop dust at every week.
3. Don't install un usefull stuff, Buy 1 TB HD for storage personal memories.
4. Use streaming or OTT for your best series.
5. Update Windows weekly or monthly with MS store
7. Use Quick Heal and Guardian Antivirus for protection 9/10 rating from my review.
9. Make your hard disk look cleaner and professionally with storage.
10. Remove IDM from Laptop, if you are using.

He is not talking about usage patterns and usage style perspective he's talking about latest processors and its capabilities which Intel can't do (x86 architecture). I think his laptop is Intel (x86 architecture)

Same I think bro. I bought laptop in last year April by that time Snapdragon models were not available easily in the market and it was too expensive. Now market is getting slowly balanced with arrival of snapdragon models across brands. Also native Software support is also issue currently. Same was with M series Mac launch later saturated with native app support getting available now macs are unbeatable. Same will happen with snapdragon laptops
