Though we generally encourage our audience to stretch their budget to Rs 30,000 or Rs 35,000 when buying a new laptop, some customers are quite convinced that they can make do with a laptop that's neither very new nor efficient. For some users, it's just about having any HP laptop under Rs 20,000 or any Dell laptop under Rs 20,000 to work on. It's important to note that these laptops are best used with a Linux distribution as they generally have limited RAM and dated CPUs, neither of which are great at handling Windows 10. While some models offer 1TB of storage on a hard drive, many offer only half of it. For such an audience that believes its laptop usage will be extremely light, we have compiled a list of what we believe are the best laptops under Rs 20,000 in the market right now.
