Dear dimers,
Need your suggestion in selecting an laptop for day to day use(browsing, watching ott content, ms office suite like word, excel and ppt and no gaming requirement). My budget is 20k to 25k already had ryzen 3250 laptop with 4gb ram and 256gb ssd but faced frequent hanging issues while using even with an single window.
I've selected the following:
1) RENEWED laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T460 from Amazon having core i5 6th gen processor and 256gb Harddisk for around 21k.
2) NEW Laptop - infinix X1 Neo with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd coming around 25k.
Any other suggestions are welcome
Upgrade the RAM of your current laptop to 16 GB instead of buying new laptop!
Avoid renewed laptops online, buy them offline and stick to the reputed brand only for the laptops.
@Rajkotian , thanks for your response. I currently do not hold any laptop as I already sold my old laptop as there is no option to upgrade ram, battery is gone
u can buy renewed laptops which cost around 15k for i5 4/250 ssd

Go with the latest processor tech. It might cost you little more, but you can use for more time.
Don't go for old generation laptops.
Look for reputed brand like HP/Dell.
Bought Lenovo last year (March), tech was latest, but still had to go for ram upgrade and SSD.
So here is the checklist:
1. Single slot ram(8GB), so that you can use/upgrade 2nd slot in future.
2. SSD 250G should be sufficient.
3. Brand: hp/Dell or whichever OEM should not have software things running in background.
4. Latest gen processor. Don't buy 3-4 year old processors.

any experience with renewed ones ?
is 8GB + 256Gb sufficient for regular usage
I could see the price as 29990₹ may I know for which city it is 23k as per the deal
OP for your requirements, even a cromebook can be effectively used. MS office flies can be accessed through Libreoffice after activating the linux layer. HP cromebooks are available around 15K during sale.
Check here for my experience with HP chromebook.

i am using infinix X1 Neo. I dont play games. Its used to streaming and browsing. Its working really well for the past 3 months. I got it for around 20k (8/256 GB).
If you want a sleek and lightweight laptop, nothing can beat it at this price.
@DEALSTER thanks for sharing your experience bro, but the price now is 25k for infinix X1 Neo will see if any better pricing in the upcoming days

I am using a chromebook since my i7 6th gen with 8 gb went kaput. And I swear the experience is amazing. Goto a lenovo store and try the experience. Personally I am looking for IdeaPad flex or a yoga and since i missed deals i am just waiting and loving the chrome experience. Using a lenovo duet. Check it out. Croma also has it
Are you using Linux apps and Android apps also in the duet
