First have a look at what are your top 2 or top 3 options of your choice of laptop model , and then finalise it then we will discuss

BTW , this is smart of buying things like laptop.. we have to replace them once they are near use by date before they break down.. and al days buy during Dussehra sale period ONLY to get bang for the buck

Brother I would say you take a day to hunt down the laptops across websites. Every few mins you are getting something better.

Take some time and grab the best possible deal

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.

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 ?

Haven't read the thread.

If you want to use any student offer, let me know, I can share a coupon.

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

There is a massive difference between acer and other reliable brands..
There is a reason why you get some brands cheaper…
All the best
