I recommend you to go for MSI Alpha 15 A3DD-044IN (Ryzen 7 16GB 1TB HDD 4GB Graphics Windows 10). It is considered as one of the best Laptop till now and it's under your budget as well.

Thanks Elvis. I shall check this. However why Lenovo/HP/Dell is not having any i5 laptop with 16GB RAM ?

 

[Kaleen Bhaiya]

8 GB normally suffices, they do give the provision to add additional ram upto 16gb thereby a total memory of 20gb(4 GB soldered).
I was looking the same for my aunt, have shortlisted Lenovo S340 and Dell INSPIRON 5490.

Lenovo S340 is something you can check in retail stores. I tried one at Croma store.
I would suggest if possible in current scenario, take a look at nearby store as it would help you to decide your options.

Aren't malls closed? Sorry if I am not keeping updated with what is closed and what is open?
Which location of Chroma did you try?

Croma exists as a separate outlet in my city rather than inside mall. Also there are less restrictions here.
I am sorry if malls are closed in your area, look for other stores such as Vijay Sales or any other electronics store in your area that may be open.

I am seeing lot of people complaining about Wifi Connectivity Issue of Lenovo Ideapad S540 (Model : 81NG002BIN) and S340 . True ?
Then it will not be wise to but it.

You could go for a thinkpad E490/T490 if you don't want discrete graphics

Lenovo (Slim) 5.

For 16GB RAM you may need to check the manufacturer websites, or even ask thier CC. 4GB to cut cost & 8GB are normal on marketplaces.

Is it available in India. Could you help me with the link or video review?

 

[singenaadam]

I mentioned, you will need to check the manufacturers websites, or talk to local vendors/online computer sellers (not marketplaces like Amazon/fk). 16GB RAM is not "normal" config.

Why Intel? Its generally a bad idea to buy anything in that price range which isn't based on Ryzen 4000 processors.

What is the primary use of this computer?

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Lookup the Dell 3400, i5 8th gen - it should be available around 50K. It has an M2 nvme slot + HDD. Supports upto 32 officially, pickup the 16GB SODIMM RAMs from @ganesh_2218 and upgrade it cheap.

Ensure you get the one with 3 years warranty. If the prices are on the higher side, check elsewhere. With the entry of 10th gen + new Xiaomi laptops and Ryzen 4000 series laptops, the 8th gen is getting price cuts.

Also ensure the laptop (if you pickup something else) does not come with soldered RAM if possible.

Dear all,
What is the review about - HP 15-ec0026AX Gaming Laptop ?
I need to to do video editing and programming as well ?

 

[singenaadam]

Ryzen 4000 would suffice for occasional video editing needs.

Laptops biggest weakness is the lack of space to circulate & cool things down. GPUs genrate loads of heat and most of the times, end up as biggest causes of failures. Consider a eGPU that can run of a thunderbolt/USB-C port.
