Bang for buck: Best lightweight laptops to buy in India
We often associate a device that's slim to also be lightweight, but that's not always true especially in the case of laptops. Having a slim laptop is beneficial as it can slip into narrow bags and it looks pretty cool, but thermals can be a problem when you have limited surface area to work with. A lightweight laptop would be of greater benefit as it's easier to travel with, move around the house with, and only takes up a bit more space in your bag. Having a laptop that's thin and light would be the ideal scenario, but these generally tend to be quite expensive. We've put together a list of good lightweight laptops that are affordable and pack good features.
Dell's XPS line offers some of the best thin and light laptops, but prices also start at a whopping Rs. 1,50,000. The Dell Inspiron 14 offers the best balance of features and price, while also offering a light laptop. In fact, the Inspiron 14 has a lower starting weight than the XPS 14. Prices start at Rs. 44,000 for a 13th Gen Intel CPU, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. We recommend getting one configuration above it which has a Core i5-1334U CPU with Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for roughly Rs. 69,000. It's a configuration that'll age better over the years.
LG's Gram series has some ridiculously thin and light laptops and while they cost a bit of a premium, it's still better value than an equivalent machine for most others. The LG Gram 16 gets my vote as it weighs just 1.2kg, which is madness for a 16-inch laptop. It's also crazy-thin with a thickness of just 16.8mm. It's powered by Intel's 13th Gen Core i7-1360P processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. The IPS display has a resolution of 2560x1600 and a 16:10 aspect ratio, making it good for running productivity apps. The laptop is also quite durable thanks to the MIL-STD-810H certification. There's not much compromise on ports either, as you get two USB-C and USB-A ports, HDMI, and a microSD card reader.
