Library computers in GLC :)
If not Macbook, please buy a Dell laptop with decent processor and ram. Windows 11 is notoriously heavy on memory and hence, buying a low spec Dell would affect your overall productivity. Also, use the keyboard before buying so that you can ensure that the tactile feedback suits you.
Say strict no to HP (overpriced), Lenovo (very bad build quality), Acer (poor overall performance), Asus (No good laptops in this range)
PS: The above brands have been evaluated on the basis of the product options they furnish within the 50k price bracket. There are expensive devices of these brands which are good, but then your budget constraint won't allow you to accomodate them.
I personally have been using a Macbook M1 since May 2021 without any issues. Have dropped it thrice and spilled coffee on it twice, yet it works like a charm.
So go for any Dell/HP laptop with Ryzen 5/7. Don't go for Lenovo IdeaPad series, they are too fragile for normal wear tear.
Dell Inspiron and HP pavilion series are good options, they are not bulky either.
dell has good service centres but only during warranty period
it should fine for browsing, wording, and netflix
LLM me bhi chalega
I don't think you'd find em now, but the cheapest of the Macs will also go long long way, you might need to extend your budget a little but it is worth it.
