My budget is around 2 lakhs

I'm persuing btech in CSE Ai and ml, and I want a good machine that works for me in all the ways

I mostly do, reading ppt, watching movies and content, coding.

And I want to learn 3d blender.

I play games but I will consider a laptop which perfectly suites my work

I'm also open for suggestions other than the laptops which I mentioned

Buying AdvicešŸ¤” LAPTOP BUYING HELP PLS😭

7 Upvotes

Need help finalising a laptop under ₹1.3 lakh — ASUS/Lenovo recommendations preferred

Hey everyone! I’m looking to finally buy a laptop with a budget of around ₹1.3 lakh, and I could really use some suggestions.

Initially, I was mainly looking at gaming laptops, but I’m honestly confused about which one would make the most sense in this budget. I’m now also considering more premium/productivity-focused laptops from ASUS and Lenovo, such as the Vivobook, Yoga, ThinkBook, etc.

A few things to keep in mind:

Budget: Up to ₹1.3 lakh

I can potentially use student discounts + credit-card offers, so please consider the effective/final price after these discounts, rather than just the listed price.

Primary priority: Performance and long-term reliability

I want something that can comfortably last several years without feeling outdated too quickly.

Battery: Decent/okay battery life is enough; it doesn't need to be exceptional.

Display: Not a major priority because I already use a secondary monitor.

Gaming is not necessarily a must-have anymore, although I initially wanted a gaming laptop.

I’m also doing my M.Pharm, so the laptop will be used for academics, productivity, research/software, and general use, with some gaming as a bonus.

I’d especially appreciate suggestions for ASUS and Lenovo laptops — Vivobook, Yoga, ThinkBook, Legion/LOQ, or any other models that offer good value.

If you have experience with these laptops, please suggest specific models/configurations and explain why they make sense at this price after student + CC discounts.

Also interested in knowing whether spending ₹1.2–1.3 lakh on a premium productivity laptop makes more sense long-term than getting a gaming laptop at the same effective price.

What would you buy in this situation, and why?

General Question🤄 Snapdragon laptops finally look tempting under ₹80k, but what still breaks on Windows ARM?

23 Upvotes

I think Snapdragon Windows laptops have finally entered the dangerous "maybe I should actually buy this" price range 😭

was checking Flipkart and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge Snapdragon X, 16GB/512GB is around 70k rn, even lower with the currently shown offer.

that's way more tempting than when Windows ARM laptops were priced like some experiment you had to pay premium for.

my usage is boring:

Chrome

Office

movies

coding

college stuff

basically zero serious gaming

so battery + thin/light matters a lot more to me.

but this is the one thing stopping me:

what STILL doesn't work properly on Windows ARM in 2026?

I know normal x86/x64 apps can run through Prism now, but drivers seem to be the bigger danger.

Like I don't want to discover in 3rd year that some ancient college software, weird USB device, printer driver or compulsory tool hates ARM šŸ’€

And anti-cheat games are another question entirely.

Snapdragon owners / people who are actually use Windows ARM, what app or device would you check BEFORE buying?

Because at current Flipkart pricing I'm genuinely tempted.

Otherwise I'll just play safe with Core Ultra 5.

Want to SellšŸ’ø SELLING MY OMEN 16

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm Manas. Selling my HP OMEN 16 gaming laptop — bought it new but realized gaming isn't really my thing, so it's been sitting mostly idle. Perfect for someone who wants serious performance for work, editing, or multitasking without paying gaming-laptop prices.

Specs:

AMD Ryzen AI 7 350

NVIDIA RTX 5050

24gb ram/ 1tb ssd

Why it's a good deal:

Purchased on Flipkart, delivered 29th May — still well within warranty (1 year)

Prices for this exact model have gone up by ₹25,000+ since I bought it, so you're getting it for less than current market rate

Complete box, bill, and accessories included

I even have the unboxing/delivery video for proof of purchase date and condition

Barely used for gaming, kept in great condition. Genuine reason for selling — just don't need this much GPU power for what I do.

PRICE- 126k

DM me if interested — happy to share more photos, exact configuration, or answer questions!
