Hello, guys. Today, In this article, I'm going to show you the 11 best laptops you can buy under Rs 60,000 in India in 2021 for work. At this much price, you won't get a low-specs or high-specs laptop. You will get the medium-specs machine. But, as time passed, it is possible nowadays to get a Core i5 laptop at this price. Even, some brand like Mi provides Core i7 laptop. You can also use it for work from home because these laptops are easily convertible for WFH. It wasn't possible 3-4 years ago to get the Core i7 laptops under Rs 60,000. Before we proceed, I recommend you to read my article on the explanation of laptop specs that will give you an idea of what to expect from the laptop by reading the specs.

This entry-level premium laptop is pretty lightweight to carry and can do a lot of work. All it lacks is a dedicated GPU otherwise, this machine would be giving a very tough competition to Mi Notebook 14 Horizon in the Indian market. Around ₹60,000 price in India, Acer has equipped a tactile keyboard and a precision-enabled touchpad.
So this laptop is quite good for programmers and copywriters because they type for a long time in a day. In other words, it's perfect for work from home for professionals. But, because of the absence of dedicated graphics, you won't be able to do gaming.
Cinebench R20 score | Single core: 411 | Multi core: 1142 |
Geekbench 5 score | Single core: 1180 | Multi core: 3674 |
In addition to that, this all-aluminium build laptop is capable of android development without emulators running in parallel. And, this machine is pretty sturdy and a solid enough. And, it's below-average-good for photo and video editing because of low screen colour gamut values (58% SRGB, 36% AdobeRGB, and 35% NTSC).
In addition to the programming and video editing, this machine is fully capable of handling a smooth web browsing on Google Chrome, multiple PDF viewing, video conference, business tasks on MS office, and many more. Furthermore, Acer India customer support was rated 54 out of 100 in 2020.

This Dell Inspiron 3593 is bit overpriced. It's heavy and occupies more space. For Dell lovers, this is a good laptop for android programming as it has dedicated graphics and good thermal management. In addition to that, I would simply not recommend this one to copywriters as the keyboard isn't tactile.
Cinebench R20 score | Single core: 401 | Multi core: 1351 |
Geekbench 5 score | Single core: 1078 | Multi core: 3386 |
Surprisingly, you can play various PC games. You can also run emulators to run Android OS.
Furthermore, the display isn't average brighter. Also, less screen colour gamut (52% SRGB, 46% AdobeRGB, and 45% NTSC) makes this laptop's display less colourful for professional photo and video editing. But the rest of the things like smooth web browsing on Google Chrome, multiple PDF viewing, and tasks on MS office are pretty-normal on this laptop. Furthermore, Dell India customer support was rated 68 out of 100 in 2020.

This laptop is really an entry-level laptop at a very cheap rate - under ₹60K - in the Indian market. It offers quite premium features such as tactile feedback, longer battery life, precision touchpad, and many more. Indeed, professional photo and video editing aren't possible due to less colourful display (58% SRGB, 38% AdobeRGB, and 36% NTSC).
Also, you cannot do smooth android programming as the dedicated graphics are absent.
Cinebench R20 score | Single core: 403 | Multi core: 1382 |
Geekbench 5 score | Single core: 1084 | Multi core: 3386 |
But I will recommend it for copywriters as their need - a tactile keyboard and accurate touchpad - is satisfied. This machine is mainly for students as they require a light specs laptop. In addition to the programming and editing, this can also handle smooth web browsing on Google Chrome, multiple PDF viewing, business tasks on MS office, and many more. Furthermore, Lenovo India customer support was rated 70 out of 100 in 2020.

This Acer Aspire 5 A514-52G is all-plastic build. It has a dedicated NVIDIA GPU to render high-end graphics very smoothly. Due to satisfactory typing experience and touchpad, copywriters and programmers can go ahead with this laptop. Surprisingly, it has an extra empty slot for HDD. So, a dedicated expansion option is available.
You can also play games on it as it has a powerful GPU. On the con side, it has little bad thermal management.
Cinebench R20 score | Single core: 415 | Multi core: 1187 |
Geekbench 5 score | Single core: 1061 | Multi core: 3789 |
The camera and a microphone are below-average, which is disappointing for any businessman as he/she always involved in the video conference. Still, the rest of the specs are very good with starting price of ₹60,000 in India. The display of this laptop is below-average in terms of screen colour reproduction (64% SRGB, 39% AdobeRGB, and 36% NTSC).
For the tasks like web browsing on Google Chrome, multiple PDF viewing, video conference, and business works on MS office, this Acer Aspire is perfectly fine.

This Lenovo IdeaPad S145 is designed to meet the daily purposes as it can't handle processor-intensive tasks. The display is below-average brighter and also of the low colour gamut (52% SRGB, 49% AdobeRGB). Under Rs 60,000 price, this laptop offers fewer features compared to others. The design is more classic. One thing I like is its SSD storage.
Cinebench R20 score | Single core: 441 | Multi core: 1472 |
Geekbench 5 score | Single core: 1069 | Multi core: 3851 |
As it has much RAM, it's good at web browsing but bad for business work on MS office due to the low battery life. Furthermore, It's good at viewing multiple PDFs.

This HP 14s dr1009tu is not a flagship device offered by HP, but it's an average-specs laptop you mostly get under ₹60,000. In India, both HP and Dell are known for their for long-term quality products. This laptop gets web and desktop programming jobs done. But, it's useless for android programming since it has no dedicated graphics.
Cinebench R20 score | Single core: 399 | Multi core: 1098 |
Geekbench 5 score | Single core: 1034 | Multi core: 3189 |
In addition to that, performance has prevailed in the photo editing, but, I wouldn't recommend buying this if you're a professional due to low screen colour gamut (59% SRGB, 39% AdobeRGB, 38% NTSC). The backlit keyboard is fine but, it should be tactile, which this laptop lacks.
Furthermore, the touchpad isn't accurate despite being precision-enabled. It's pretty good at handling multiple tabs on Google Chrome during web browsing, multiple PDF viewing, video conference, business works on MS office, and many more. Furthermore, HP India customer support was rated 61 out of 100 in 2020.

This Asus VivoBook S14 S403JA is flagship laptop under ₹60,000 prices in India. It has no dedicated GPU that limits graphics-intensive tasks like Gaming. But, it does come with other premium specs such as fingerprint reader with Windows Hello support. The RAM is really much efficient. The screen is a little bit less colour gamut (66% SRGB, 39% AdobeRGB, and 38% NTSC), which doesn't favour the professional photo and video editing.

But this laptop is way good for programming except for android due to the tactile keyboard and a precision-enabled trackpad. When it comes to the build, it's pretty solid and sturdy enough, and it's all-aluminium.
It's an outstanding device for daily tasks like web browsing on Google Chrome, multiple PDF viewing, business tasks on MS Office, video conference, and many more. Furthermore, Asus India customer support was rated 65 out of 100 in 2020.

This Dell Inspiron 14 3493 is just an entry-level Dell laptop. It only offers average specs under ₹60K price in the Indian market. It's all-plastic build, but pretty solid and sturdy. It has good thermal management for which many laptops are struggling. Dell has not equipped any special in it.
This laptop is for students, not for professionals. It can be used for web and desktop programming, even for copywriting due to the tactile keyboard. The display is good but not okay for accurate photo and video editing because of low colour gamut values (53% SRGB, 51% AdobeRGB, and 36% NTSC).

This Acer Aspire 3 A315-23 is targeted for the students only. In India, it's coming under ₹50,000 despite having solid-state storage. At a very cheap rate, you will get a precision track-pad. However, the keyboard isn't tactile, which is not in the favour of copywriters and programmers since aggressive typing is involved. But it's good at other corners like smooth web browsing, multiple PDF viewing, and many more.
This laptop also capable of photo editing but I wouldn't recommend it for professionals, due to a little below-average screen colour gamut (60% SRGB, 45% AdobeRGB, and 44% NTSC).

The Ryzen-5 CPU process task very efficiently. As a result, it doesn't produce much heat which eventually keeps the laptop silent. It's really a solid choice for students because of a budget price and above-average specs comparatively.
