Best Laptops Under ₹40,000 in India (September 2023)

The list of best laptops under Rs 40,000 is a real-deal showdown for value-for-money machines that need to deliver on every aspect of computing without breaking the bank. These are the laptops you'd ask your manager to buy, or he'll buy these for you without consulting you. Regardless, I have included the best laptops under the Rs 40,000 price, and my list has brands like ACER, HP, Infinix, and more - all squaring up to prove their mettle to be your next entry-level laptop. And by "entry-level", I am not talking about just hitting the power button and opening a browser. Instead, I am talking about laptops that can handle your daily grind, manage those spreadsheets, keep up with your endless tabs, and take on light creative tasks. Like tweaking a photo in Canva or dabbling in video editing with Filmora. These machines are up for the challenge. I am aware of the workloads these laptops would be put through that’s why you will find powerful processors like Intel 11th and 12th Gen Core i3, i5 in addition to AMD Ryzen 5000 series and even Intel 13th Gen chips powered machines on this list. Even in terms of design, these laptops under Rs 40,000 represent the OEM’s unique craftsmanship instead of generic old copy-paste models. For instance, the Rs 29,000 Inifnix INBook Y1 Plus is a well-designed, feature-packed, and versatile laptop that’s powered by an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, and 512GB SSD. Likewise, its bigger cousin, the Infinix INBook X2 Plus is a thin and light laptop that exudes premiumness while only costing Rs 36,990. It features an Intel 11th Gen Core i5 CPU along with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. I have also included the Intel 13th Gen Core i3-powered ASUS Vivobook 15 on this list and it has impressive specs. For starters, the Core i3-1220P chip has 10 cores with support for up to 12 threads. And as its nomenclature suggests it’s an Intel ‘P’ series chip so expect great performance in everyday tasks and light productive workloads. The goodness doesn’t just end there because I have also found a Lenovo V15 powered by AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, a hexacore Accelerated Processing Unit, or APU. And apart from performing great basic productivity tasks, it is also a great chip for some light gaming. You can easily play GTA V, Batman: Arkham Asylum and more using this chip. With all that said, remember that this list is in ascending order in terms of price.
