I have to buy a laptop for ruotine use and some video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro.

I have finalised to go for Dell.

I was looking for Dell Inspiron 5402 with 11th gen i5 processor with 8 gb RAM – Rs 60000

Recently I got a deal from some source for a 6 month used Latitude 5310 with 10th gen i7 with 16 gb RAM for Rs. 65000
https://www.dell.com/en-in/work/shop/business-l...

Can someone please guide which will be a better buy (10th gen i7 or 11th gen i5)?

You missed to mention the base speed of both processors in discussion. If I assume i5 at higher base speed, then 11th gen i5 is superior.

Ok, actually I gave the product links but somehow the links are directing to general site only.

For the 11gen i5, it is New Inspiron 14 5402 Laptop with 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 Processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.2 GHz). This one also has Intel Iris XE graphics and 8 GB 3200 MHz RAM. This is 14" screen.

For the 10th gen i7, it is New Latitude 5310 Laptop and has 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10610U (4 Core, 8M cache, base 1.8GHz, up to 4.9GHz, vPro). This has Intel UHD 620 graphics and 16GB 2666 MHz RAM. This is 13.3" screen.

Dell are overpriced, buy it only if after sale support & dell brand value is the most important factors for you else any good gaming laptop from acer(nitro or predator)/lenovo(ideapad gaming 3 series)/hp(omen or gaming pavilion) having ryzen 3xxxH or better 4xxxH processor is much better.

I don’t want to recommend laptops of any particular brands/ model. Just check what’s primary priorities & budget that you expect with laptop to perform. You go after a brands like dell, HP or any brands, each brand has market value & they charged excess for brand value. In case of dell laptop you pay extra dell brand when the laptops having same specs can be purchased in less price of other brands. Brands matter in terms of after sale support, some patented design/ technology, that only dell can provide etc, but these things not gonna make laptop to perform faster. For editing, make sure laptop must have a dedicated Graphics card for smooth rendering of videos editing & RAM should be at least 8GB & 250GB SSD. Always check in some laptops RAM is permanently soldered & no expandable option is allowed, avoid such laptops.
If you buy in DOS mode it would be cheaper than pre install windows. You can buy window 10 pro & Office OEM key in less than 10$ online. If you need. PM me.
