Buying guide for a laptop under 40000

There are some factors that I think everyone should know before buying a laptop on this budget in India.

Screen Size and Type of the laptop

This is a very important factor when choosing the right laptop. The size of the laptops is usually 14 inches 15.6 inches and 17.3 inches.

As a bigger display, you want more you have to pay. So if you are on a budget of like 40000 you should prefer a maximum 15.6 screen size.

However, brands like Dell, HP, and Acer all offer each type of display available. If your priority is not gaming then you can check them out 14 inches and that will give you a similar experience.

For the display type, I would recommend an IPS display if available. IPS is the best display type which doesn’t affect your eyes much if you are using your laptop for a day in your office as well as gaming for more than 6 hours.

It is harder to get an IPS display on this budget but I have selected some laptops and added them to my list above. Mostly you will get a LED anti-glare display. This display also makes less impact on the eyes but it is not better than an IPS display.

Additional ports available on the laptop

There are too many types of ports available on a laptop so I would not recommend you buy a laptop that has each port.

Rather purchase a laptop that satisfies your want. Likewise, if you want to have HDMI, LAN port, and SD card port then you have to check whether it is available on that laptop or not.

There is one port that I think everyone should have. It is a thermal belt port. This sport looks similar to a type c USB port but it transfers files 8 times faster from it.

This port also helps you to connect an external graphics card that will enhance your gaming experience even better in the future.

Screen resolution

If you are purchasing a laptop in this budget then I would suggest you should buy a laptop with full HD.

In HD display you can only play games on 720p resolution. This resolution doesn’t provide a good gaming experience. 

If you are a student still an HD display is not enough for you because in this budget you will get full HD easily and it is better than an HD display.

There is also an option of a touchscreen laptop which enables you to use your fingers rather than your mouse. But this feature is mostly seen on inexpensive laptops and in this budget, you don’t get any laptop with touch screen features.

If you are a videographer, video stream, or video editor you should focus on laptop screens displaying high color accuracy. 

If you are a gamer you should purchase a laptop with a higher refresh rate screen. This will allow you to play better games like Pubg on your laptops.

But if you don’t like FPS games then you should purchase a normal 120-hertz display with full HD screen resolution.

The cooling power of a laptop

The cooling system of a laptop also impacts your gaming experience. If your laptop has decent cooling power then your processor will work with maximum performance.

if your laptop doesn’t have a good cooling system then your core i7 will perform like an i5 processor, even sometimes like an i3 processor.

So how to check the cooling system of a laptop? you can check it by seeing the vents available in the front as well as the backside of your laptop image.

Or you can also check on the specification section in online e-commerce websites like Amazon. In these sections, they displace how effective a cooling system a laptop has.

Using SSD over HHD

If you want your laptop to perform as much as it can then I would suggest you buy a laptop with SSD.

The change in performance from an h HD2 SSD is more than changing and processor from i3 to i7. 

Tip to Save laptops with 4 to 5 thousand discount

If you want to save money on purchasing a laptop, you can purchase a DOS version of the laptop.

Because in those laptops the cost of installing and maintaining is not included. But if you don’t want to use the laptop for office purposes, you can install windows for free.

It is will work just similarly as available on the windows laptop. But if your purchase a laptop for office work then you should purchase a laptop with windows.

It will help to secure your system better than a free version. Because in a windows laptop, you will get a key for activation of the premium functions.

FAQ

Which processor is available in laptops under 30000

You can get i3 11th, i5 11th generation, and Ryzen 5 5500u processors in this budget. However, for the best performance, you should consider Ryzen 5 5500u laptop.

Can we use laptop on Bed?

You should not use your laptop for a long period of time on the Bed. Also, not regularly. It can make your laptop heat up quickly and can cause less battery backup after a time.

Which is the best laptop under 40000 for gaming

You can check the i5 11th generation or Ryzen 5 5500 processor for some gaming performance in this budget. However, for the best performance, you need a minimum of 60k costing laptop.

Conclusion

A laptop will be best if it complies with all the conditions discussed in the buyer’s guides. For students, a laptop with 8 Gb ram and an i5 11-gen processor or i3 11th generation is more than enough.

But for a gamer, the laptop with a minimum AMD Ryzen R5 5500 is required with 8 Gb ram and good storage.
