Top 10 Best Laptops in India

The Dell XPS has remained a worthy competitor to Apple’s MacBook and this year as well the newer XPS 15 stands head and shoulders above the competition. The Dell XPS 15 is an amalgamation of everything you would ever need from a mainstream laptop. It has the performance of a gaming laptop, the battery life of an Ultrabook and an industrial design which is tried and tested in the years past.

If you are one of those who needs a water-cooled laptop, then the Asus ROG GX800 is the right match for you. Right from the top tier hardware to its insane 8 lakh price tag, everything about this laptop is extreme. With a combined weight of over 5.5 kilograms, it is not very portable but it can run any game to your liking in 4K without minimum effort.

Remember the Spectre 13 from last year. This year we got to see the convertible variant of that laptop. The Spectre x360 in its latest avatar is the best convertible laptop available today. Be it build quality, performance or battery life, the x360 trumps all competition quite easily. It also has one of the best keyboards we have encountered on a convertible laptop, making it a brilliant everyday machine.

Weighing just 1.1 kilograms, the Lenovo Ideapad 720s is the new king of thin and light laptops. Lenovo has updated the build quality drastically, which puts it right beside the likes of HP’s Spectre 13. It offers the best performance and battery life in its price category and now features a fingerprint scanner for added security.

The Nitro 5 is all about making gaming affordable and even though we have small niggles about the device, it is still a good entry level gaming laptop. With an Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor and GeForce GTX 1050 GPU inside, the Acer Nitro 5 will allow you to game at 1080p at a steady 60fps as long as you keep the graphics settings at medium or on auto. The comparatively lighter form factor also makes it easier to carry and means it can be used as a mainstream laptop.

Besides the Dell XPS 15, the Asus Vivobook S15 is one of the most exciting launches of the year in the mainstream category. The laptop brought a beautiful bezel-less display in a more affordable package along with some really good hardware. The laptop is powered by 8th gen Intel Core processors and offers reliable performance along with a premium looking design. The battery life is a little weak though.

Acer also offers 8th gen Intel Core processors on its latest line of laptops and amongst those the Acer Aspire 5 is one of the most affordable laptops you can buy today. The machine is not as good looking as the Asus Vivobook S15, but it does offer a similar performance. It is also available with NVIDIA’s MX150 GPU and has a commendable battery life.

On the business side of things, the Elitebook 1030 G2 makes its presence felt as this thin and light dapper looking laptop offers everything a business customer would need. The performance is formidable and keyboard offers one of the best typing experiences you can get today. The laptop also has additional features such as HP sure view which hides the screen contents from peeking eyes.

Another gaming laptop which makes its way into this list is the MSI GV63 7RE. At 2.2 kilograms, this is certainly one of the lightest gaming machines around and offers good gaming performance along with the looks and portability of an everyday machine.

The HP Pavilion x360 14 strikes a balance between performance, battery life, and usability. It is not as affordable as some other machine in the same price bracket, but it offers a rotating display along with a stylus instead. Also, with around 8 hours of battery life, it will outlast most mainstream laptops.
