Last Updated on May 12, 2021 by Rupesh Patil

Ever since the COVID-19 related restrictions started coming into the picture, most people have been working from their homes to limit the spread of the virus. The demand for laptops has skyrocketed since then, and most professionals have been using laptops or PCs for their work. If you are among those people or are generally looking to buy a new laptop under ₹50,000, you might have to go through dozens of models before zeroing in on one that suits your needs. Fret not, though. We’ve researched quite a bit and selected five laptops that could be great for most people, including you.

We preferred laptops that offer at least a quad-core processor and eight processing threads, at least 8GB RAM, at least 256GB SSD storage, a Full HD resolution display, Windows 10 operating system, and a USB Type-C port. We also tried to find laptops that have additional features like a backlit keyboard, a trackpad with Microsoft Precision drivers, and a USB Type-C port. Whether you’re after a thin-and-light laptop, a processing powerhouse, or a gaming laptop, we have a laptop for everyone in the budget of ₹50,000.
