My poor Acer Swift 3 laptop has had screen issues since May 2021 and even though I got a monitor, I woke up today to see it flickering ON MY MONITOR (monitor is fine, it's a laptop issue). The earphone jack is screwed, (got a USB sound card) the keyboard is screwed, (have an external one), it heats up like the 7th circle of hell, ugh I'm sick of it.

I need at least:

8GB RAM but more is better

14" FHD IPS screen

256GB SSD

2GB graphics card cos I make and edit videos sometimes, play light games like The Sims. Why do most new laptops have the Intel Iris XE thingy? Is it decent?

Core i5 or equivalent (or better)

Backlit keyboard would be great

I like fingerprint readers!

Would prefer a not-too-heavy laptop

Metal body would be great

2 to 3 year warranty please...Acer really screwed me over; cost to repair screen would be 10k and it conveniently went bad 6 months after the 1 year warranty was up.

Brands I will not buy from: HP, Acer, Mi, Honor, Redmi, Nokia, Avita

Budget 45k-90k (I don't want to spend more though, the lower the better toungueout ) Got my Acer in Oct 2019 for 45k thru Flipkart.

Go with a 16 GB RAM laptop which will help you in future with performance-related issues, since Win 11 and some apps like Google Chrome are memory hungry. Below are my suggestions,

If you don't move around, you could consider a desktop instead!

Also, since spending close to 50k, I would suggest to go for a laptop with Type C charging these days! It is so messy to have so many different chargers and cables these days. Every damn thing these days should come with Type C charging. Type C should be made mandatory by the govt for any new device launch!
