1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
60k - 70k INR ( can extend a bit more too)
The lesser the better- if my purpose, reqs will be met with a laptop costing Rs. 40k INR
, that is fine too!!
Will buy in India; Bangalore or Chennai specifically while travelling.
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
I Conduct Online Fitness class via zoom and so I want the Camera to be professional camera like.
I currently am using a 'Used Business Class laptop Lenovo T430 - i5 3rd gen + 16GB RAM + 250GB Samsung EVO SSD and it is good in meeting my following Needs and I want new laptop to do the following better or equal to my existing laptop:
Need HDMI port to connect to TV , entertainment / media
I open 25 tabs in chrome at any given point in time and also stream content from Amazon, netflix etc...
I want to slowly start creating content for my business; I want to do post videos in youtube and other medium and I want my laptop to be able to do decent kind of videos in a reasonably lesser time - so more processing power, i think.
I had bad experience with entry level laptops and major brands like Dell previously and in my opinion thermals are very poor in those laptops and it gets heated up.
I want the laptop to last at least for next 6-7 years, functionality wise.
Ability to upgrade to 32GB RAM.
Keyboard in my T430 is damn good and I love typing in my current laptop. I want Keyboard in new laptop to not be flaky and flat like in many entry level models.
5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
AMD - because more value for money and overall I heard that AMD Ryzen(s) is better as of Jan 2021 than their rival Intel.
16GB RAM is a must and ability to upgrade to 32GB RAM or even more in future.
EXCELLENT camera
4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: AMD,
b. Dislike: Transcend, Acer any entry level systems or models with flaky , poor thermals, laptops with poor camera
6) Anything else you would like to say?
Once again, I conduct online classes- Camera quality and display quality is of utmost importance. So if you think It would be a better option to invest and get a good camera instead of a laptop because there is only certain amount of quality which can be available in laptop camera, please let me know.

- Screen resolution - the more the better - good screen quality will be desirable.
- Durable - see my answers to previous questions about my current laptop T430.
- Battery back up - the more battery capacity the better, however, I am fine with 4 hours
- Purchase place - I am okay with purchasing online or in store, whichever gives a good deal.
- Extended warranty , coverage against theft, mishandling, breakage etc for 3 yeas would be a good addendum
