Choosing a laptop for college or university isn't always easy. There are dozens of models available, and comparing processors, RAM, storage and display specifications can quickly become confusing.
The good news is that you don't necessarily need to spend more than Rs. 1 lakh to get a laptop for your studies. Whether you're preparing assignments, attending online classes, researching, learning to code or working on presentations, there are several options worth considering.

If you prefer a larger display for studying, the Dell Pro 15 deserves a place on your shortlist.
It features an AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD. Its 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate is another notable feature.
For students, the larger screen can be helpful when comparing documents, working with spreadsheets or attending online classes.

4. ASUS Vivobook 14 — Best for Portability
Rs. 89,000
Portable Pick
Not every student wants to carry a large laptop every day. If you regularly move between home, college, the library and other places, a compact 14-inch laptop may be more convenient.

Its Full HD anti-glare display is designed to reduce reflections, making it a useful feature for everyday study environments.

Graphics: Intel integrated graphics

Who should buy it?
Students who prioritize portability and primarily use their laptop for assignments, research, online classes and productivity applications.
The main compromise is storage: 256GB is less spacious than the 512GB options on this list.
