Best laptops under Rs 70,000

We believe ₹70,000 is a sweet spot for getting a laptop that not only gets the job done but comes with some quirks that make your life easy. For example, you can either get a 4050-powered laptop for content creation/gaming or a performance-savvy machine that can compile code like peanuts. We have also included 2-in-1s that come with the latest gen processor (that too with H series processor), so yes, you have a buffet of laptops, so choose wisely, or you might get distracted. 

Apple MacBook Air M2 – ₹70,990

Apple’s fanless MacBook Air M2 costs ₹ 70,990 on Flipkart and slips an 8-core M2 chip (8-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine) into an 11.3 mm, 1.24 kg aluminium shell that stays silent during Lightroom edits, Xcode builds, and 4K streams. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina panel pushes a sharp 2560×1664 resolution, P3 wide-colour, and 500 nits brightness so photographs pop even under office lights. A 52.6 Wh battery promises up to 18h of Apple TV playback or 15h of web work, letting you leave the 30 W USB-C charger at home. Two Thunderbolt/USB-4 ports and MagSafe 3 handle power, while supporting 6 K displays and 40Gbps SSD enclosures. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 ensure quick wireless links in crowded lecture halls. Extras such as a 1080p webcam with advanced ISP, quad speakers with Spatial Audio, the back-lit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, and Force Touch trackpad round off a premium yet travel-friendly machine that still outlasts many heavier rivals.
