A saying goes like this, “Just when you have found and finalized a prospective life partner or an attractive laptop, you come across a better one than the one you have already in hand!” Although the comparison is ambiguous, there might be a level of certainty in the statement.
We can’t help you in choosing a prospective partner, but we definitely could be of some help in narrowing down your choices for a good laptop, which doesn’t empty your wallet necessarily. So, we thought, the intersection point of a decent laptop with an amicable price would fall somewhere around 30,000 bucks and have detailed about the best windows lappies in that price range.
Before hitting on the brand names, it is important to check out the OS and the processor of the laptop you are intending to buy, as these would constitute the heart and soul of the laptop. It would ease a lot of pressure on you if you get a laptop with windows OS preloaded.
About the processor, an Ivy Bridge or even a Sandy Bridge Core i3 processor wouldn’t squeeze into this budget but the older Intel Pentium dual core processors and the latest AMD dual core and quad core APU’s could be fitted in. Having a choice we could go for the newer architecture, better power delivery and improved battery life that the AMD APUs offers.
Just because we have become too concerned technically, it doesn’t mean we have the liberty to oversee the obvious. So, what you see right ahead in a laptop is its keyboard! If you don’t have a good touch and feel of the keys you may end up being disappointed with your machine. We would suggest the HP and Asus keyboards which have a unique design and thus making the laptop stable.
With that brief guidance, here is the list which you might consider:
