Best Laptops Under 50000 in India 2020 (SSD, i5 Processor & 8GB RAM)

1. HP 15q 8th Gen Core i5 15.6 inch Laptop

This a laptop from 15q series from HP. This is a clamshell laptop, to begin with, and was pretty thoughtfully created. Let's take a look at the specs first.

The HP 15q runs on the latest 8th gen i5 processor from Intel. It’s the 8250U and is a quad-core processor running at 1.6GHz with boost up to 3.4GHz. This is complemented by 8GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2400MHz and 1TB of storage. The 15q-ds0004TX also has dedicated 2GB of DDR3 graphics in the form of the NVIDIA MX110. The MX110 does not make the 15q-ds0004TX a gaming laptop by any mean. However, it surely is going to give you an additional boost during photoshop and better frame rate while playing lightweight games. It is also to be noted that the 15q comes with a dedicated numeric keypad and the overall keyboard in itself is pretty decent.

The hardware is solid is complemented by the most common OS that runs on PCs: Windows 10 Home.

On the port's front, we have the power port, Ethernet port, the HDMI port, and 2 USB 2.0 port and a headphone port to the left of the laptop. The right-hand side gets the optical disk drive, the USB 3.0 port, and a full-size SD card slot.

The display at 15.6 inches and FHD run at a resolution of Full HD1080x1920p and will definitely help in reading texts with much clarity while pictures will look nice and sharp. At the top of the display sits HP’s TrueVision HD Webcam and will be sufficient to make the occasional video chat.

Finally, the 15q gets a 3-cell battery which will be good for 4 to 5 hours of usage depending on the type of usage. For a price of under/around Rs. 50000, this is a good laptop from HP with i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 2GB Nvidia graphics.

2. Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop

This is an affordable gaming laptop from Acer and provides great value for money. The Nitro 5 Ryzen is probably the best example of a gaming laptop in a budget with pretty decent specs for what it cost.

The laptop runs on AMD’s Ryzen 5, the 2500U which is from AMD’s latest line of Ryzen processor. The Ryzen 5 is a quad-core processor running at 2GHz at base and 3.6 at boost. The boost speeds are truly helpful while playing games. With a powerful processor, there is 8GB dual-channel RAM that runs at 2400MHz and the laptop also has 1TB of HDD storage. The GPU used in this laptop is a whole different story. It’s a 4GB AMD Radeon RX 560X which is slightly better than the 4GB NVIDIA counterpart which is the GTX 1050 Ti.

The combination of a powerful CPU and GPU results in not only a great gaming experience but also a great computing experience. The performance is also going to be great thanks to the use of heat sinks inside the laptop to keep the temperature under control.

The external ports front is pretty solid too. We have the ethernet port, USB 3.1 type C port, HDMI port 2.0, USB 3.0 port and a full-sized SD card slot on the left of the laptop. To the right side, we have the power port, remaining 2 USB 2.0 port and the headphone jack port.

The display at 15.6 inches with a resolution of 1920X1080p is actually better than most of the laptops on this list as it is an LED IPS one. This really is one area that Acer has seriously upped its game. The webcam, however, is really below average and is a drawback.

The Nitro 5 gets a 4-cell battery which should be good for 5 hours of usage. There is Windows 10 Home already installed on the laptop.

The Nitro 5 comes for a price of under 50000 and is one of the best gaming laptops that you can get in this range.

3. Asus Vivobook 8th Gen Core i5 14 inch Laptop

Asus is no small name when it comes to making laptops. This is an Ultrabook from Asus and it’s called the VivoBook 14. The Vivobook 14 is the most beautiful looking and the lightest laptop of the bunch.

The VivoBook runs on an 8th Gen i5 processor and is clocked at 1.6GHz and capable of being boosted to 3.9 GHz. We have 8GB of DDR4 RAM to aid in your day to day task. The internal storage is a whole different story. It’s a PCIe Gen3x2 NVMe SSD, though 512GB it is super-fast. App launch and run-times are going to be a lot lesser when compared to laptops running on hard drives.  The VivoBook 14 is one of the laptops on the list with a fingerprint sensor for biometrics. The VivoBook 14 also has something called an ErgoLift Hinge. What happens with this design is this that the laptop gets raised for air ventilation to take place to keep the laptop cool while running intensive tasks. While the hardware seems pretty decent on paper for an ultra-portable the software too is great as it's handled by windows 10 home.  

Now, due to the laptop’s slimness and lightness, the ports selection is definitely lesser than the ones that were mentioned before but is not totally bad. We have the power port, HDMI port, USB 3.0 type A port, USB 3.1 type C port and finally a headphone jack. On the right side, we have a micro SD card slot and a USB 2.0 type A port.

The display department is one area where the VivoBook 14 beats its competition hands down. To begin with, it’s a 14-inch display running at a resolution of 1920x1080p with a viewing angle of 178 degrees. So, what’s special? This is the only laptop on our list to have a screen to body ratio of a massive 87%. Thus, awesome media content is guaranteed. In order to get such a high screen to body ratio, the camera had to be tucked into a reverse notch. In doing so Asus did degrade the quality of the camera just that tiny bit. We do feel the color reproduction of the display could have been a bit better.

Finally, Asus promises an all-day battery life but having such a light and compact design with only a 2-cell battery we expect the battery life to be somewhere around 4 to 5.5 hours max.

Now if a lightweight laptop is your game and you want a powerful laptop for media consumption and office use or programming then Vivobook 14 is the best lightweight laptop you can get under Rs. 50000 in India.

There is also a dedicated 2GB DDR5 graphics card in the form of NVIDIA MX150. The MX150 does not turn the Ideapad 330 into a gaming laptop however, apps like adobe photoshop will get an extra juice and the graphics card makes it a decent machine for video editing as well. You can also play games at medium settings. Finally, we have Windows 10 Home operating that handles the software side of things. The Ideapad 330 also comes with a dual 1.5W speaker with support for Dolby audio. The sound output is really good and you might not feel the need for additional Bluetooth speakers.

As seen in any Ideapad 330 variant all the ports on the laptop are to the left-hand side in order to manage the cables properly while working. A dedicated power port, Ethernet port, HDMI port, 2 USB 3.0 ports a headphone jack port, USB type C 3.0 port and finally a full-sized SD card are present for the convenience of the users.

The display used is sadly not FHD. At 15.6 inch it runs only at an HD resolution of 1366x768. The panel is not bad it just this that the resolution is weaker when compared to the competition. To top that of Lenovo decided on going with thick bezels around that display. However, using those thick bezel did allow Lenovo to fit in a better 720p webcam than what most of the other competitors on this list.

The battery life on the Ideapad 330 is also pretty average at 4 to 4.5 hours depending on the kind of usage. The specs combination becomes understandable when the price tag of rupees. At under 45000 to 50000, this is a good laptop those who have heavy use and need a laptop with a graphics card.

8. MSI Modern 14 10th Gen Core i5 14 inch Laptop

Well, guess if your favorite gaming laptop brand also makes Ultrabook too. This Modern 14 laptop from MSI is exactly the same. Build for working professionals with a design language that does not remotely look like a laptop manufactured by a game-oriented company.  

It is a 14inch laptop that weighs only 1.19Kg. The form factor is extremely small for a laptop with 14-inch screen size. This is mainly due to the nearly bezel-less FHD IPS panel that this Modern 14 laptop boasts. The bezels are so narrow that MSI had to reposition the webcam into the hinge.

The panel, in general, is great for both its size and its actual quality. Being an IPS panel, it delivers great colors, and MSI has also added an Anti-glare layer for reducing reflections from the background. All in all, the 14inch screen size is excellent for both work and media consumption alike.
