This list would contain the top 3 laptops in the price range of Rs. 23,000 to Rs. 35,000 which will make the choosing process a lot easier.

Dell Inspiron 15R

Dell Inspiron 15R is a great laptop and you will feel the same when you see the specs and the price of this laptop. Dell Inspiron 15R has three laptops in the series. All of them are great in specifications and higher price is available with higher specifications. The first(which I am talking about right now) costs Rs. 31,300. The second costs Rs. 33,300 and the third costs Rs. 41,200. Dell Inspiron 15R(Rs. 31,000 model) has a 15.6 inches HD widescreen which would make the display more glossy with the addition of TrueLife.

Zenith Uranium A14HM02

Zenith Uranium is a laptop that gives great value for money and offers specifications which you cannot get in the laptops higher in price. The only low-point that would be in this laptop is the brand name. Zenith isn’t a famous brand and I am sure many of you would be surprised to see this laptop in these rankings. The metal body and the reasonable price tag just put it in quite a big lead. Moving on to the biggest plus point, the specifications. Zenith Uranium has a 14 inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768. It has a 2GB RAM and a 320GB Hard Disk Drive. It runs on Windows 7 Professional. Zenith Uranium has an Intel Core i5 processor. Performance and the specifications is where the Zenith Uranium actually shines. It has a 1.3 megapixel integrated web camera. This laptop is easy to hold and carry around as it weighs only 2kg. Just like the above laptop, Zenith Uranium has a 6-cell Li-Ion battery so just like the above laptop, you can do a lot with a single charge. Zenith Uranium, for Rs. 23,000 is a great buy and maybe the best entry-level laptop excluding the brand power.
The price of Zenith Uranium A14HM02 is just Rs. 23,000.

Samsung NP-RV411-S01

This laptop is just like other Samsung laptops, amazing in design. Samsung produces laptops that are extra-ordinary in design and offer some good specifications. This laptop weighs 2.2 kg and can be called a lightweight laptop. Samsung Np-RV411-S01 offers a 14-inch screen and a resolution of 1366 x 768. It has a RAM of 2GB and a Hard Disk Drive of 500 GB. A storage of 500 GB is a little bit extra-ordinary in reference to the price of the laptop. This laptop runs on Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Intel Pentium Dual Core ProcessorP6200 is available in this laptop. It has an NVIDIA GeForce315M external graphics processor which can run extreme games easily. This laptop has an Ethernet port, 3 USBv2.0 ports and Wi-Fi. It has a 6-cell standard battery and after a little search, I found that this laptop gives up to 5 hours of battery life. The price is quite reasonable to the features and the brand quality which could make you buy this one.

The price of Samsung NP-RV411-S01 is Rs. 30,490.

Those were the top 3 ‘entry-level’ laptops available in the Indian market. If I am asked to pick any one of them, my choice would be Samsung NP-RV 411-S01 because of a nice price, great and stylish design and the awesome specifications offered.

Acer has priced this laptop at only $349 for the Wi-Fi version, we are not sure how much the 3G is priced of if there even is a 3G version, don’t expect it to be priced much higher.
