need to buy laptop

My laptop suddenly stopped working and now has some motherboard issue.

If I had known I would have bought a laptop during the sales. But now I’d have to overpay.

Any decent deals that can be found?

I live very near to Nehru Place in Delhi. Is it possible to get good prices?

Also- I see the range of laptops seem very few on FK/Amazon. Is it because of the post sales low stock?

Thanks
Ritika

Please mention some extra detail, like your budget, specs which prefer, etc.

Sorry I didn’t mention. Even though I was generally asking where I can look for deals.

But now I am closer to choosing one.

I think I would like to go ahead with a ryzen 5 vivobook 14 inch. My friend has that one and it looks decent and performs decent (I am no pro user). But the screen is terrible according to me.

Do you think I can get good deals on this in the offline market? Or should I keep waiting for a deal on amazon or Flipkart?

Narrow down list based on your requirement, budget , brand.
I feel we use laptops for long term (~ 5 years min in my case).
So better to invest and buy good reliable long term machine.

Min. Core i5 , Ryzen 5 ( Not older than last year generation)
Min. 8GB RAM with empty RAM slot
Min. 512GB SSD OR 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD
Min. FHD anti glare display
Min. 5-6 hours battery life
Decent selection of ports – Type C port is must , preferably with thurderbolt support
Min. Warranty 3 years (via offers)

Call local shops and tell them to match or give better deal than online prices.

I just got the honor magicbook for 40k and it is easily the best laptop in this price range.

Cons include –
1. 256gb storage (if your work is mainly browser based then it is sufficient)
2. No backlit keyboard (again, depends on your usage)
3. Webcam angle is weird but you can simply attach an external cam to solve the problem, Personally I do not have any issue with the angle of the webcam.
4. Availability can be an issue.

Pros – 1. Excellent performance. Zero lags or stutters. Do not jump too much into the specs as some may tell you it is an old processor, but real world experience is excellent.
2. Built quality is superb.
3. No heating issues.
4. Type C charging.
5. Fingerprint scanner.
6. Excellent quality display (unlike some of the asus laptops in this price range)
7. Extremely silent, fans seldom switch on.

Overall, this laptop should easily last 4-5 years without any issues.

Purana wala repair Kara lo …
U can check online services also like servify, çashify to repair ….
Most of the laptops are overpriced right now and no offers going on so better wait for next online sale …

Hi guys! Any laptop deals I can consider right now?

I got my laptop fixed after a lot of effort. Even if company wouldn’t cooperate, I will buy on my own.

I want i5 or ryzen 5 with 14, 8gb, 256 or 512 and decent screen.
