Best AI laptops under Rs 60,000

HIGHLIGHTS

Sub-₹60,000 notebooks now pack dedicated NPUs or an RTX 3050 GPU to accelerate on-device AI, ML and creative workflows.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X1-26 and X Plus silicon in the Vivobook 16 and IdeaPad Slim 5 deliver 45 TOPS of Hexagon NPU power for cloud-free Copilot+ features.

Apple’s M1 Neural Engine and Intel Core Ultra NPUs in the MacBook Air M1, Infinix ZeroBook Ultra and Acer Swift Go 14 handle real-time inference, captioning and upscaling locally.

For heavier GPU-bound tasks such as large-scale data analysis, Stable Diffusion or H.264 exports, the Lenovo LOQ’s up to 95 W RTX 3050 brings discrete-graphics headroom under ₹61K.

Best AI laptops under Rs 60,000

Choosing a capable notebook for machine learning tasks on a modest budget feels challenging, yet the market already offers several sound options below sixty thousand rupees. In this guide, you will find two kinds of machines. The first group carries dedicated neural processors that can deliver respectable trillions of operations per second and comes with smart acceleration features straight from the box. The second group relies on discrete graphics cards that bring extra muscle for heavier creative and scientific workloads, such as large-scale data analysis and video rendering. 

ASUS Vivobook 16 – ₹62,990

ASUS Vivobook 16

The Vivobook 16 is currently the least-expensive Copilot+ notebook you can pick up in India, listing at 62,990 on Amazon. It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X1-26-100 system-on-chip, whose Adreno GPU is paired with a Hexagon NPU that delivers up to 45 TOPS of on-device acceleration. That comfortably clears Microsoft’s 40-TOPS baseline for Copilot+ PCs and unlocks local features such as Recall timeline search, Cocreator in Paint, and real-time Live Captions without needing the cloud. A roomy 16-inch WUXGA IPS panel in a taller 16:10 ratio gives extra vertical space for code and spreadsheets, yet the aluminium-topped chassis stays travel-friendly at 1.88 kg and under two centimetres thick. Two USB-4 Type-C ports join two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and a headset jack, while Wi-Fi 6E keeps wireless links quick and steady. The 50 Wh battery benefits from the chip’s energy-efficient 4 nm design, comfortably lasting a working day. Storage starts with a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and there’s a vacant M.2 slot for easy expansion; 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8448 memory is soldered for high bandwidth.

Mobile professionals and students who value a large screen, all-day battery, and modern ports without hauling a heavy machine will find it practical. Creators working mainly with CPU- and NPU-accelerated tasks rather than high-end GPU rendering will also appreciate its balanced performance and price.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 – ₹59,990

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5

Lenovo pairs Qualcomm’s 8-core Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 with a Hexagon NPU that peaks at 45 TOPS, so this Slim 5 meets Microsoft’s Copilot+ baseline and runs Recall timeline search and real-time Live Captions entirely on the device without leaning on the cloud. A fourteen-inch WUXGA IPS display in a 16:10 ratio offers full sRGB coverage and 300-nit brightness, giving ample vertical space for coding and documents while keeping reflections at bay with an anti-glare finish. The aluminium chassis is just 16.9 mm thick and 1.48 kg, yet still houses a 57 Wh battery that Lenovo rates for more than 25 hours of local video playback; rapid charge brings it to 80% in an hour. Two USB-C 10 Gbps ports sit alongside two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, a microSD reader and a headset jack, while Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 handle wireless duties. Inside, you get 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8448 memory, a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a free M.2 slot for future upgrades, all protected by a privacy-shuttered 1080p webcam and Microsoft Pluton TPM.

Professionals needing on-device language translation, video call effects, and recall search without a high-power GPU will find the 45 TOPS NPU more than capable. Anyone seeking a portable Copilot+ notebook with a solid aluminium build and broad port selection, yet still under sixty-five thousand rupees, should keep this model high on the shortlist.

Apple MacBook Air M1 (2020) – ₹59,990

Apple MacBook Air M1 chip

At 59,990 rupees on Amazon India, the fanless MacBook Air with Apple’s first-generation M1 silicon remains the most affordable entry into the Apple-silicon world today. Its 8-core CPU (4 performance and 4 efficiency cores) works alongside a 7-core Apple GPU inside a 5nm system-on-chip, delivering swift everyday performance and smooth 4K video edits without raising the temperature or the noise floor. A 16 Neural Engine capable of about 11 TOPS handles on-device photo enhancement, speech dictation, and background object removal while the CPU and GPU stay free for other tasks. Apple marries that silicon to 8 GB of unified memory and a fast 256 GB PCIe SSD, so large Xcode projects or Lightroom catalogues open in seconds. The 13.3-inch Retina display produces a crisp 2560 × 1600 image, reaches roughly 400 nits, and covers the P3 colour space, making it a reliable canvas for design and streaming alike. Despite the bright pane,l the 49.9-watt-hour battery regularly delivers up to 15 hours of wireless browsing or 18 hours of video playback, and the bundled 30-watt USB-C adapter tops it up quickly. Two Thunderbolt⁠-⁠USB 4 ports plus a headphone jack cover wired connectivity, while Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 keep wireless links fast and stable. The solid aluminium shell weighs only 1.29 kilograms and tapers to 1.61 centimetres, so it slips neatly into almost any backpack.

Infinix Zero Book Ultra – ₹59,990

Infinix Zero Book Ultra AI PC Intel Core Ultra 7 155H

Infinix positions the Zero Book Ultra as its first Meteor Lake thin-and-light and backs the claim with Intel’s sixteen-core Core Ultra 7 155H, a chip that reaches 4.8 GHz turbo. Inside the processor sits Intel’s 11 TOPS NPU that lifts on-device image generation, transcription, and video call effects without taxing the CPU or GPU. Graphics duty is handled by the integrated Arc engine, whose modern Xe-LPG architecture copes well with 4K H.264 exports and light gaming while keeping power draw modest. A 15.6-inch Full HD panel pushes 400 nits brightness and full sRGB coverage so colours hold up whether you are editing Lightroom catalogues or presenting in bright offices. The aluminium chassis stays at 1.8 kg yet hides a 70 Wh battery that pairs with a 100 W USB-C charger to refill quickly between meetings and flights.
