If you are looking for a good budget laptop, then you have come to the right place. We understand that sometimes we just have to switch to a new laptop and don’t have enough money to the buy the latest and greatest notebook from either Apple or Alienware. That’s why we have compiled this list of some of the best and cheapest laptops available in India.
Like always we have selected each laptop in this list very carefully. We laid a lot of stress on selecting only those cheap laptops (money-wise) which have the latest hardware with adequate number of USB ports.
We have rejected many laptops having either no support for USB 3.0 or just a single USB port. How can we use a machine with a single USB port when we have more than 2-3 USB devices? If you have tons of data to share with your friends, then USB 2.0 is no good for you.
Now before you begin to scan this article, I want to inform you that it has 4 laptops from Asus. This is because of the fact that no other manufacturer focuses on low-end entry-level cheap laptops like Asus does. So, if in any case you don’t want to buy an Asus laptop (I don’t know why you wouldn’t), just go with the first laptop in the below list:
Lenovo G50-45 Notebook (80E3005RIN)

ASUS Laptops
All of the below mentioned Asus laptops are based on Intel chips. The main differentiating factors between these models are dual-core and quad-core processors, maximum supported RAM along with number of expansion slots, battery cells, pre-installed OS, and weight.
I would suggest you to prioritize your hardware requirements and then proceed further with the selection process.
