New Laptop

[tradermodified]

I wish to buy a new laptop, as my present one is some 10 years old one and creating problems.

I have shortlisted this one from HP for 43490 (amazon price)

HP 15 10th Gen Intel Core i3 Processor 15.6-inch(39.6 cm) FHD Laptop (8GB/256GB SSD+1TB HDD/Windows 10/MS Office/Jet Black/1.74Kg), 15s-du1064TU

I choose this one because of 256GB SSD and MS Office (Home and Student 2019)

Please post your comments and any better choice in this price range

Thanks

If you don't need additional 1 TB HDD, this model seems to be more suitable as base clock of 11th gen core i3 is 3 GHz vs 2.1 GHz in 10th gen i3. Rest all specs are same.

Just a year or so ago, a regular computer (PC or Laptop) would've cost around 30k. Now not only have the prices gone up, but also one is not sure if it will last as long as the previous one.

Windows 11 will leave millions of PCs behind, and Microsoft is struggling to explain why

I wanted to buy a new one. I have an Acer i3 4th gen, 6+years old now. My hardwarewala advised me to simply get it fitted with SSD (128) for 3000Rs and ensure 3 years more Let's see.

yes, a good one, but 256GB is less.

Yes, the price of laptops has soared some 30-40% in last 12-15 months or so. May be because of "work from home" demand of laptops has soared.

The suggestion of hardwarewala is timely. Add an SSD (128 or 256GB) and add windows and other major softwares there and use present HDD for storage purpose

yes, laptop prices have increased, even i am using a very old laptop, decided to use a 128 gb ssd, transferred OS to it..... then removed the laptop's dvd drive... used a hdd caddy n using another 500 gb hdd for storage in laptop...

Do not prefer a Lappy, but Lightwaight and Long Battery Life should be priorities !

actually i am using laptop like a regular desktop pc.... laptop's screen started flickering, so instead of replacing it, removed its screen and connected laptop to a monitor... and laptop is being charged continuously, so not worried abt battery too
