(If you want a dependable machine for study, office, and light content tasks.) Is price bracket mein tum solid performance, NVMe SSD speed aur decent display paye sakte ho — bas thoda knowledge chahiye ki kahan compromise karein aur kahan invest karo. (You need to know where to invest and where you can compromise.)

Is guide mein main tumhe step-by-step bataunga: kaise apni needs map karo, konsi specs hamesha prioritize karni chahiye, shopping hacks, aur real-world maintenance tips jisse laptop 3+ saal achha chale. (This is practical, not salesy.)

Apni needs pe pehle focus karo (Pinpoint your use-case)

Sabse pehle decide karo — tum laptop mainly kya use karoge? Chhote examples:

• Student / Exam preparation / Notes (Student / Exams): web browsing, PDF reading, Zoom/Google Meet — lightweight tasks. Yahan battery aur portability sabse important. (Battery aur portability zaruri.)

• Work / Multitasking (Office kaam): multiple browser tabs, Excel, Google Docs, occasional meetings. Yahan SSD aur RAM important hai.

• Content creation / Photo editing (basic): Photoshop/light editing ke liye better CPU aur RAM chahiye, aur color-accurate display useful hai.

• Casual gaming: Esports titles (CS:GO, Valorant low settings) chal sakte hain agar integrated GPU accha ho; heavy AAA games unrealistic hain is price bracket mein.

Apni primary aur secondary needs list karo — primary ke liye invest karo, secondary me compromise acceptable hai.

Must have specs (jinhe ignore mat karo)

Kuch specs aise hain jo long-term performance decide karte hain. Inhe priority do:

A. CPU (Processor)

• 2025 mein, aim karo for modern multi core chips — AMD Ryzen 4xxx/5xxx series (budget variants) ya Intel 11th/12th gen Core i3/i5 (entry-mid). Multi-core se multitasking better hoti hai.

• Single-core frequency bhi matter karta hai for casual snappiness. (Ek strong single core bhi feel improve karega) pur focus karo multi core lene ka example i5 13 gen ya 14 gen, i3 13 gen, or amd mai ryzen 5 7600G, yai bhi chal sakta hai ryzen 3 bhi chalega issai neechai nahi hona chahiye yahi par amd mai generation update nahi hoti hai lekin intel mai generation update hoti hai or dono he kafi acchai processor hai baki apki choice hai apko konsa processor lena chahiye konsa nahi yai apkai uper depend karta hai ek or baat yaad rakhna hai ki ismai core or threads yai subsai jyada matter kartai hai processor mai insai hi subsai jyada performance nikalti hai processor mere hisab sai 6 core 12 threads to honai chahiye kam sai kam issai agar uper hai to or bhi jyada accha hai. 

B. RAM

• Minimum 8GB recommended. Agar dual-channel configuration mil raha ho (2x4GB) to woh single stick 8GB se behtar hota hai. (Dual channel memory real speed improve karta hai.)

• Agar tum multitasking heavy ho (VMs, heavy browser tabs), to 16GB consider karo agar possible ho.

C. Storage

• NVMe SSD 256GB minimum — SSD se system bohot fast boot aur application load hota hai. HDD avoid karo as primary drive SSD hi honi chahiye primary device mai.

• Agar files bahut hain (videos, photos), external HDD ya cloud backup plan ready rakho.

D. Display

• Full HD (1920×1080) minimum — clear text aur comfortable workspace. IPS panels better view angles aur colors dete hain.

• Brightness 250–300 nits — outdoor use ke liye helpful.

E. Battery & Build

• Real-world battery 6–8 hours ka target rakho (manufacturer claims often zyada hote hain). Lightweight build agar travel frequent hai to preferable hai.

F. Ports & Connectivity

• USB-C, HDMI, 2x USB-A, 3.5mm jack — basic ports important. Wi-Fi 6 preferred but Wi-Fi 5 acceptable ho.

---

Kahan compromise kar sakte ho (Where to save)

• GPU: Dedicated gaming GPU is rare in this budget; integrated GPUs handle light gaming agar tumhai heavy game khelnai hai to dedicated graphic card hona chahiye.

• Premium build: Metal chassis is better dekhne mein, lekin good quality plastic bhi durable hota hai.

• Color accuracy: Professional color grading ke liye pricier displays chahiye; casual editing ke liye Full HD IPS sufficient.
