A budget of Rs 50,000 would have only been enough to get your hands on a basic laptop a few years ago. With the advancement in the segment, though, several tech majors have now come out with some very impressive offerings on a budget.

The advancements mentioned include capable processors, graphics, and storage options. The segment appeals mainly to those expecting everyday use out of a laptop. This may include students needing to create presentations, employees working on documents and anyone, in general, wanting to perform varying tasks on their machines.

The sub-Rs 50,000 section of laptops is hence an important one, both for the consumers as well as those who make them. These are often the most sold laptops in a company’s product lineup, while the top-of-the-line options are generally much costlier and hence have limited sales.

If you are one of those seeking such a laptop for any purpose whatsoever, here is a list of laptops you can opt for within a budget of Rs 50,000. The categories have been divided on the basis of the type of laptop you are looking to purchase.
