Best Intel Core i7 Laptops in India (September 2023)

In the ever-competitive world of laptops, it's crucial to keep an eye out for those that offer the best value for your hard-earned money. Today, I am talking about laptops featuring the Intel Core i7 CPU. There's a lot to be skeptical about in the laptop market, and I am here to cut through the noise. These i7 processors are marketed as high-performance powerhouses, but does every laptop that houses them live up to the hype? That's why I have created this list to find the best in every price tag. Included in this lineup are laptops from all corners of the market, from entry-level models that promise solid performance at a reasonable price, to premium devices boasting superior build and performance, and even the beastly high-end gaming rigs, where the price takes a backseat and only performance matters. I have included laptops on this list that are spread through three generations of the Intel Core i7 CPU - 11th, 12th and 13th gen. And for the uninitiated, Intel introduced the X86 Performance hybrid architecture from its 12th Gen laptops which split the cores into performance and efficiency cores. Intel increased the number of efficiency cores and the clock speed of its processors when it introduced the 13th gen chips. So as a rule of thumb, provided the laptop model and battery size remain the same. An Intel 13th Gen powered variant will have the highest efficiency numbers, followed by the 12th and then the 11th Gen at the last. The list includes budget laptops with a price tag of Rs 57,990, like the Infinix INBook X2 Plus, which is affordable and fit for everyday use. And you will also find powerhouses like the MSI Katana 15 priced at Rs 1,39,990 featuring an Intel Core i7-13620H and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. I have also included value-for-money creator laptops like the Rs 84,990 ASUS Vivobook S14 OLED and also its bigger cousin the S15 OLED which costs Rs 1,05,990. Remember that the list is in ascending order in terms of price.
