Not a lenovo laptop, but I have purchased the below Asus one for my relative just a couple of days ago. Its price is Rs. 49,990, but I managed to get it for 40k.

The reason I recommend this is because it offers the best processor for the price, i5-12500H (H series processor) with 12 Cores & 16 threads. All the others in this price range are offering U series processors which have very limited capabilities, or in other words, are not future-proof.

I have spent hours into learning about laptop specs in the last 2 months (because I also had to do it for my own HP Omen that I bought in the Prime day sale not even a month ago).This is a great purchase considering the specs offered for the price.

Definitely worth it if you can get it for anywhere close to 40k.

ASUS Vivobook 15 Thin and Light Laptop,Intel Core i5-12500H 12th Gen, 15.6" (39.62 cm) FHD, (16GB RAM/512GB/Win11/Office 2021/Blue/1.7 kg), X1502ZA-EJ541WS https://amzn.in/d/fmuZDat

@HumorSimpson go with intel or amd version here - https://www.amazon.in/ASUS-Vivobook-Integrated-Fingerprint-M1603QA-MB742WS/dp/B0C1YY11X3/

Hi,

My personal laptop became unusable and I need a new one ASAP.

Going by personal experience with office Lenovo laptops, I am inclined towards it.
My Budget is <50K inr and usage is typical docs/video watching. Not rigorous programming or t*rren*t downloading.
From the official website I have narrowed down the following now


Item 1 : 46K INR

IdeaPad Slim 3 Gen 8 , 39.62cms - AMD R5 (Arctic Grey)​

Processor - AMD Ryzen™ 5 7520U Processor (2.80 GHz up to 4.30 GHz)
Graphic Card - Integrated AMD Radeon™ 610M
Memory -16 GB LPDDR5-5500MHz (Soldered)

IdeaPad Slim 3 Gen 8 (15, AMD) | Versatile everyday-use AMD laptop | 82XQ0096IN

Meet the IdeaPad 3 Gen 8 (15, AMD) laptop. It has a great 39.62cms (15.6) display and can be tailored to your needs and tastes with many color options, AMD processors, and Dolby Audio™.

Item 2 : 50K INR

ThinkPad E16 40.64cms - AMD Ryzen 5​

Processor - AMD Ryzen™ 5 7530U Processor (2.00 GHz up to 4.50 GHz)
Graphic Card - Integrated AMD Radeon™
Memory - 16 GB DDR4-3200MHz - (8 GB Soldered + 8 GB SODIMM)

ThinkPad E16 (16, AMD) | 21JTS01700

Meet the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 (16, AMD) business laptop, designed for an evolving workplace. Powerful and fast, with a beautiful WUXGA display.

www.lenovo.com

Even though the 2nd item is 4K INR costlier it still uses DDR4. Hence, I am going for Item 1.
High Urgency as I need to buy in a day.
Please suggest me how to get a good deal on this? Heard someone in this forum talking about corporate offer too. whats that?
If there is a student deal on this, will any Finto be willing to share a coupon ?

I don't have recommendations but given gadgets we use
Go for nothing less than evo certified

 

[shivamk]

@HumorSimpson go with intel or amd version here - https://www.amazon.in/ASUS-Vivobook-Integrated-Fingerprint-M1603QA-MB742WS/dp/B0C1YY11X3/

5800HS is quite old

 

[RadTheCrab]

5800HS is quite old

True. Except for power efficiency and slightly better integrated GPU than i5 12500H, it doesn't stand a chance against it.

 

[HumorSimpson]

ok then intel variants

recommended by@RadTheCrab 50K

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0C7H6SSC8?ref=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_ZBJQ0N9SKADZVCWW12SW&ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_ZBJQ0N9SKADZVCWW12SW&social_share=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_ZBJQ0N9SKADZVCWW12SW&starsLeft=1&th=1

Recomended by @Arkapal Sen .. this is 55K .. let me see equivalent in lenovo

[HumorSimpson]

second recommendation is good but it is exceeding budget by 5K. Is there any way that I can get a massive discount ?

I decided to buy this from the official store and its 53K with free 2 year warranty.
it says 7% student discount . anyone willing to give me this ?
if i double dip with sbi cb it will effectively be 53*0.93*0.95 = ~47K

Lenovo doesn't have anything near to this

 

[HumorSimpson]
