Top 10 Best Laptops in India (2022)

If you ever compile a list that says “what are the best laptops to buy?” then the latest 16-inch MacBook will surely be on that list. Apple is a good laptop brand and the 16-Inch Macbook is a testament to how good Apple laptops can be. Powered by a 10-Core CPU and a ridiculous 32-Core GPU, the MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip is a beast by every possible metric. Do not be fooled by its slender appearance because it is not a thin and light machine. Weighing in around 2.0kg, the Apple 16-Inch MacBook Pro M1 Max packs in power and thermals capable of delivering blistering performance in every possible task. Further powering the system is up to 64GB of Unified System Memory and an 8TB SSD for system storage.

Dell's XPS laptops have remained a worthy competitor to Apple's MacBook laptops and they've only gotten better over the years. The Dell XPS 13 is an amalgamation of everything you would ever need from a mainstream laptop. It has the performance that comes close to a gaming laptop, the battery life of an Ultrabook, and an industrial design which has been tried and tested in the past.

Dell has updated the XPS lineup with newer 11th gen Intel Core processors, which means you are essentially looking at some of the best and the most powerful laptops. If the 13-inch variant is too small for you then you might want to check out the XPS 15 which has a 15.6-inch display and has almost the same set of features and internals. Needless to say Dell is a good laptop brand when it comes to build quality.

Pros

• Stunning build quality
• Exceptional display with high colour accuracy
• Great keyboard and trackpad
• Impressive performance & Intel EVO certified

Cons

• Runs slightly hot
• Webcam continues to disappoint
• Limited port selection

If someone asks you what are the best laptops to buy in terms of price and performance ratio then the Apple MacBook Air should be your recommendation. It is the world's most popular and loved thin and light laptop for many years. This laurel has been achieved thanks to its reliable performance for day-to-day tasks while delivering class-leading battery life. Well, last year, Apple made the MacBook Air even better by throwing in its M1 chip inside. Now, the MacBook Air powered by the M1 chip is just as powerful as the MacBook Pro 13-inch that's powered by the M1 chip. In fact, it's even comparable to the 16-inch MacBook Pro that's powered by the Intel chip.

Apple has completely replaced the older MacBooks with these newer ones that are powered by its M1 chip. With a starting price of Rs 92,900, they're not that expensive either and we think it's the best MacBook for most people right now.

The Acer Nitro 5 series is available in a variety of configurations. However, this particular variant was our pick for the best Mid-range gaming laptop for the Digit Zero 1 awards 2021. The laptop also won the Best Buy award as well for its superbly high price to performance ratio. It is powered by a Ryzen 7 5800H Octa-core CPU, an RTX 3060 GPU with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a QHD screen with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The laptop is capable of running modern titles such as AC Valhalla at 1440p resolution in high settings at around 60FPS. The laptop is supremely capable when it comes to productivity as well thanks to its Quad-HD display which is fairly colour accurate as well. On the list of “what are the best laptops to buy?” the Acer Nitro 5 easily scores a spot.

Finding a really good and reliable laptop on a tight budget is quite a task but we have a very good option. If you can't spend more than Rs 60,000 on a laptop, then we suggest you go for the Acer Aspire 7 gaming laptop. It is powered by the Ryzen 5 5500U chip and comes with enough RAM and storage for pumping out a solid performance.

The Acer Aspire 7 gaming laptop truly excels in the battery life department. It managed to last longer than most other gaming laptops in its class which is quite impressive considering its price. The only complaint we had with the laptop was the fact that it only had a 60Hz display but it's not exactly a deal-breaker considering how much you are paying for it.

Pros

• Understated design
• Great performance with AMD Ryzen 5 5500U
• Excellent battery life
• Good port selection

Cons

• Highly uncalibrated display
• The speakers could have been better

MSI's new Pulse GL66 gaming laptop comes with one of the new Intel H45 processors and packs an RTX 3060 GPU for gaming. We've already reviewed this laptop and we think it's one of the best gaming laptops out there right now that hits the sweet spot for 1080p without burning a huge hole in your pocket. But what we don't like about this particular laptop is that it doesn't have an SD card reader and there's no ThunderBbolt 4 support as well. So, just keep that in mind. If you’re wondering what are the best laptops to buy in the gaming segment then do give Pulse GL66 a try because MSI is a good laptop brand.

Pros

• Good design & build quality
• Solid performance for 1080p gaming
• Intel H45 Core i7 performs well
• Two SODIMM slots, two M.2 PCIe x4 slot

Cons

• Runs a little hot & loud
• Average battery life
• No SD Card Reader or Thunderbolt 4

Want a thin and light gaming laptop? Check out the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14! It is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind laptop. It manages to pack so much into such a small form factor. You get 8 beastly cores with 16 threads to chew through whatever workload you may want to throw at it. For the price, you can buy laptops that deliver better value, but none of them will be as portable as the G14, and THAT is what you are really paying for. Our recommendation would be to skip the 1440p variant and stick to one which trades the resolution for higher refresh rates.

Pros

• Impressive performance for the form-factor.
• Anime Matrix display is a very well implemented gimmick.
• Truly one-of-a-kind machine at the moment.

Cons

• Heat makes the keyboard unusable.
• Uses a mid-range SSD.
• No Pg Up or Pg Dn keys
