Best Laptops Under 20000 Rupees

All laptops priced under 20000 rupees, come under the ‘budget’ category. Performance-wise you can’t expect too much from these laptops, but most notebooks that we have listed below, should be able to perform almost all the basic tasks.

Some buying tips for laptop purchases below 20000 Rs:

1. Unless mentioned, all the laptops that we have listed will be able to run the latest version of Windows 8. We recommend that you either get a laptop with a minimum of 4GB of RAM (memory) or if it comes with 2GB, upgrading it to 4GB after your purchase would improve the performance quite significantly.

2. Almost all laptops below 20k will allow you to browse the internet, run office applications, play low-end games and also support video / music playback. Do note that multi-tasking i.e running multiple applications or opening too many new tabs in your browser will slow down your laptop. If you need better performance and multitasking, increase your budget and buy better laptops!

3. All the ‘Under 20k laptops’ come with integrated graphics, which also means that you won’t be able to play high-end games or do video editing. We could run Adobe Photoshop and do some basic image editing without any issues.

4. Some laptops come with a licensed version of Windows 8. Others come with either DOS or Ubuntu, which means you either need to buy a licensed version of Windows or install a pirated copy (we discourage piracy!)

5. If you purchase a laptop with Windows 8, it can be upgraded to Windows 10 for free!

We recommend these laptops for Students and Office work. Popular applications that should run smoothly on all the laptops are Microsoft Office (includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint), Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Photoshop, VLC Player etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments section below.

    • @Anup Bharti, you can’t buy a gaming laptop with a budget of Rs 20000. What sort of games are you looking to play? Casual gaming we can suggest, but you won’t be able to play mid/high-end games.

  • i would suggest asus x551something with 2 gb ram but i had played many high end games like spiderman web of shadows ,spiderman shattered dimension ,the amazing spiderman ,nfs most wanted 2012, batman arkham asylum ,prototype and many more high end games.and it is around 20000 with 500gb harddisk

    Thanks and Regards

    • @Harsh Gurjar, there aren’t too many powerful laptops under 20000 that come with Microsoft Windows pre-installed. Can you increase your budget a little? If you can afford to pay 22-23k, we can suggest a Windows laptop.
