Best Laptops Under 80000 in India (2026): 7 Picks

What we like
+ 8 cores and DDR5 for ₹72,490
+ Ethernet, HDMI and USB-C with display out
+ Fast charging with a 65W adapter

What we don’t like
– Warranty and screen details not in the listing
– Plain Full HD panel
– 47 Wh battery

This is the laptop I would buy first at this budget. Lenovo’s V15 G6 has an 8 core Ryzen 7 170 that the listing describes as equal to the Ryzen 7 7735HS, 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, all for ₹72,490. It also has a full size Ethernet port, which almost nothing else here offers.

Everyday speed. The Ryzen 7 170 has 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost of up to 4.75 GHz and AMD Radeon 680M graphics. With 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory, a browser with many tabs, Office, a code editor and a video call together are no trouble. It is a big step up from the 4 and 6 core chips in cheaper laptops.

Screen and body. The 15.6 inch panel is Full HD with an anti glare finish. The listing does not state brightness or colour coverage, so expect an ordinary office screen and use it indoors. The body weighs about 1.6 kg in a Luna Grey finish.

Ports and battery. You get a USB-C port at 10 Gbps that supports charging and DisplayPort, two USB-A ports, HDMI, a full size Ethernet port and a headphone jack. The battery is 47 Wh with Rapid Charge, which Lenovo says reaches 80% in about an hour with the 65W charger. A 47 Wh battery is modest for an 8 core chip, so carry the charger.

The catch. The listing does not state the warranty, brightness or colour gamut, so check the box and Lenovo’s support page for the exact model before you buy. Lenovo’s page may show the processor under both its old and new names.

Price. Amazon lists it at ₹72,490 on 24 October 2026 with Windows 11 and Microsoft Office pre installed, according to the listing.

Lenovo V15 G6 (Ryzen 7 170, 16GB DDR5, 512GB) vs the competition. It costs ₹7,500 less than the IdeaPad Slim 3 i7 and has a faster chip class and an Ethernet port, but the Slim 3 has the metal lid and the 16:10 screen.

What we like
+ 10 core Core i7, the fastest here
+ 16:10 300 nit screen and metal lid
+ Two M.2 SSD slots and Office 2024

What we don’t like
– ₹79,990, right at the limit
– Memory listed to a 16GB maximum
– Battery and warranty not in the listing

The IdeaPad Slim 3 with a Core i7-13620H has the most processing power in this group, with 10 cores and a boost of up to 4.9 GHz. It adds a 15.3 inch 16:10 WUXGA screen, a metal top cover and Office Home 2024. At ₹79,990 it is at the very top of the budget, so you want to be sure you need the speed.

Everyday speed. The Core i7-13620H has 10 cores (6 performance and 4 efficiency) and 16 threads, with performance cores boosting to 4.9 GHz and 24MB of cache. That is the strongest processor in this guide, and it suits heavy multitasking, coding, spreadsheets and light photo editing. Memory is 16GB of DDR5-4800 in a slot.

Screen and body. The 15.3 inch IPS screen is 1920 by 1200 at 300 nits with an anti glare finish and TUV low blue light certification. The 16:10 shape shows more of a document or a web page. The top is aluminium and the bottom is plastic, and the laptop is 17.9 mm thin and weighs 1.59 kg.

Upgrades. Lenovo’s listing shows a 16GB maximum for memory, so what you buy is what you get. Storage is better, with two M.2 slots that take up to 1TB each according to the listing.

The catch. It is the most expensive laptop in this guide and the listing does not state battery size or warranty, so check them before you pay. The screen is a good office panel, not a colour accurate one.

Price. Amazon lists it at ₹79,990 on 24 October 2026 with Windows 11 Home and Office Home 2024.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15.3 inch (Core i7-13620H, 16GB DDR5, 512GB) vs the competition. It costs ₹7,500 more than the V15 G6 and adds 2 more cores, a metal lid and a 16:10 screen, but it has no Ethernet port in the listing and the memory stops at 16GB.

What we like
+ 16 inch 16:10 screen and aluminium lid
+ Fingerprint reader and backlit keyboard
+ 65W USB-C rapid charging

What we don’t like
– 6 cores only
– Brightness unclear between listing title and bullet
– 1 year warranty

The ThinkBook 16 is Lenovo’s business line, and it shows. It has an anodised aluminium lid, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader and a 16 inch 16:10 screen. The Ryzen 5 7535HS has 6 cores and is quick enough for office work, coding and spreadsheets, and the price of ₹73,990 is fair.

Everyday speed. The Ryzen 5 7535HS has 6 cores and 12 threads. It trails the 8 and 10 core chips on this list, but for documents, Excel, browsers and video calls you will not feel it. Memory is 16GB and storage is a 512GB SSD.

Screen and body. The 16 inch WUXGA IPS panel is 1920 by 1200. The listing bullet says 250 nits while the title says 300 nits, so I would expect an ordinary office screen. The lid is aluminium with a sandblasted finish, and the laptop weighs 1.7 kg.

Ports and charging. Lenovo lists Wi-Fi 6, a Kensington lock slot and rapid charge with a 65W USB-C adapter. It has a fingerprint reader and a backlit keyboard. The listing does not give a battery size.

The catch. The warranty is 1 year, and the listing does not mention onsite service. Six cores is the lowest count in this group, and the screen brightness is unclear between the title and the bullets.

Price. Amazon lists the Smartchoice version at ₹73,990 on 24 October 2026. A non Smartchoice listing shows ₹78,855, so compare both.

Lenovo ThinkBook 16 (Ryzen 5 7535HS, 16GB, 512GB) vs the competition. It costs ₹2,350 more than the HP 15 Ryzen 7 and has a bigger 16:10 screen and a metal lid, but fewer cores.

What we like
+ RTX 3050 6GB and 144Hz screen
+ 10 core Core i7
+ Metal body with a backlit keyboard

What we don’t like
– 1.99 kg and a short battery
– 45% NTSC screen
– DDR4 memory and no Office

Every other laptop here relies on integrated graphics. The Acer ALG adds an Nvidia RTX 3050 with 6GB of video memory and a 144Hz screen to the same Core i7-13620H found in the Slim 3. That makes it the one to buy if you want to play esports titles, run light Blender or Premiere work or learn CUDA. It weighs 1.99 kg, so it stays on a desk.

Everyday speed. The Core i7-13620H has 10 cores and boosts to 4.9 GHz, the same chip as the IdeaPad Slim 3. The RTX 3050 6GB is a modest graphics card, good for esports games at Full HD and light creative work. Memory is 16GB of DDR4 in a slot, and storage is a 512GB NVMe SSD.

Screen and body. The 15.6 inch display is Full HD at 144Hz, which is smooth for games, but the listing gives it 45% NTSC colour coverage, so it is dull for photo or video colour work. The body is metal and the keyboard is multi colour backlit with a number pad.

Ports and battery. The listing shows one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.2 Type-A port and two USB 3.2 Type-C ports, plus a 720p camera. No battery size is stated. Gaming laptops drain fast, so keep the charger close.

The catch. No Windows software bundle is listed, so Office is a separate cost. The memory is DDR4, which is slower than the DDR5 in the Lenovos, and the laptop is the heaviest in this group at 1.99 kg.

Price. Amazon lists it at ₹79,990 on 24 October 2026 with Windows 11 Home.

Acer ALG (Core i7-13620H, RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB, 512GB) vs the competition. It costs the same as the IdeaPad Slim 3 i7 and swaps the metal lid, DDR5 memory and lighter body for an RTX 3050 and a 144Hz screen.

What we like
+ Lowest price with 16GB and 8 cores
+ Office 2024 and 1080p camera with shutter
+ Wide HP service reach

What we don’t like
– 41 Wh battery
– Dim 250 nit, 45% NTSC screen
– USB-C does not charge or drive a display

The HP 15 is the least exciting laptop on this list and still a very good buy for its price. The Ryzen 7 7730U has 8 cores, the memory is 16GB, the camera is 1080p with a privacy shutter and Office Home 2024 is included, all for ₹71,640. HP also has a wide service network in India.

Everyday speed. The Ryzen 7 7730U has 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost of up to 4.5 GHz. It is a lower power U series chip, so it is a bit slower than the H series processors in the Lenovo and Acer laptops, but it is plenty for browsing, Office, coding and online classes. Memory is 16GB of DDR4-3200.

Screen and body. The 15.6 inch Full HD screen is micro edge and anti glare at 250 nits with 45% NTSC colour coverage, which is basic and best used indoors. The laptop weighs 1.59 kg and has a backlit keyboard with a number pad.

Ports and battery. Ports are one USB-C at 5 Gbps that does not charge or drive a monitor per the listing, two USB-A ports, HDMI 1.4b and a headphone jack. The battery is 41 Wh, the smallest here, with fast charge to about 50% in 45 minutes.

The catch. The USB-C port is data only, the battery is small and the screen is dim. Memory is DDR4 and the listing does not say whether it can be upgraded.

Price. Amazon lists it at ₹71,640 on 24 October 2026 with Windows 11 Home, Office Home 2024 and 1 year of Microsoft 365 Basic.

HP 15 (Ryzen 7 7730U, 16GB, 512GB) vs the competition. It costs ₹850 less than the V15 G6 and has Office and a better camera, but it has a slower U series chip, DDR4 memory and a smaller battery.

What we like
+ 2K OLED with 95% DCI-P3
+ 1.29 kg and a cool, quiet chip
+ Office 2024 included

What we don’t like
– Arm chip with x86 compatibility limits
– Memory is soldered at 16GB
– Weak for games and heavy creative tools

The OmniBook 5 is the only laptop here with an OLED screen, and it weighs just 1.29 kg. It runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip rather than Intel or AMD. Most everyday apps run well on it, but some older software, drivers and games do not, so read the catch below before you buy.

Everyday speed. The Snapdragon X has 8 cores and 8 threads with 12MB of cache and up to 47 TOPS of NPU power per the listing. Memory is 16GB of LPDDR5x and storage is a 512GB PCIe Gen4 SSD. For browsing, Office, video calls and streaming it is quick and cool.

Screen and body. The 14 inch micro edge OLED is 1920 by 1200 with a 0.2 ms response time, 300 nits of brightness and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. That is a huge step up from the 45% NTSC screens on the cheaper laptops here, with deeper blacks and far better colour. The body weighs 1.29 kg in silver.

Battery and AI features. HP markets the laptop as having multi day battery life, which I treat as a claim and not a number, because the listing does not state a battery size. It includes HP AI Companion and Copilot style features that use the on chip NPU.

The catch. It is an Arm laptop. Windows runs x86 apps through emulation, which works for most but not all, and some drivers, anti cheat systems and developer tools still struggle. Memory is soldered LPDDR5x, so 16GB is all you will ever have.

Price. Amazon lists it at ₹78,990 on 24 October 2026 with Windows 11 and Office 2024.

HP OmniBook 5 OLED (Snapdragon X, 16GB, 512GB) vs the competition. It costs ₹7,350 more than the HP 15 and gives you an OLED screen, a body 300 grams lighter and a cooler chip, but loses x86 compatibility.

What we like
+ 1TB SSD
+ 120Hz IPS screen
+ Office 2024 and a backlit keyboard

What we don’t like
– Slowest chip in the group
– DDR4 memory
– Battery and warranty not in the listing

The Dell 15 is a straightforward everyday laptop with one real selling point, a 1TB SSD at a price where most laptops give 512GB. It also has a 120Hz IPS screen, a backlit keyboard and Microsoft Office 2024. The Core i5-1334U is a 15 watt chip, so it is not as quick as the H series laptops above.

Everyday speed. The Core i5-1334U has 10 cores (2 performance and 8 efficiency) and is built for low power use. Paired with 16GB of DDR4 memory it handles browsing, Office, online classes and light photo work well. It will feel slower than the Core i7-13620H laptops under sustained work.

Screen and body. The 15.6 inch Full HD IPS display runs at 120Hz, which makes scrolling and typing feel smoother than the 60Hz panels on cheaper laptops. The listing does not state brightness. The laptop weighs 1.62 kg and has a backlit keyboard with a number pad.

Storage and software. The 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD is the main reason to buy this one. Dell includes Microsoft Office 2024 and a 12 month McAfee subscription.

The catch. It is the slowest chip in this guide and costs ₹5,850 more than the HP 15 with the Ryzen 7. The listing does not state the battery size or the warranty period.

Price. Amazon lists it at ₹77,490 on 24 October 2026 with Windows 11.

Dell 15 (Core i5-1334U, 16GB, 1TB) vs the competition. It costs ₹5,850 more than the HP 15 and gives you double the storage and a 120Hz screen, but a slower chip.
