These are the best Laptops under 40000 Rs that you can buy today:

1. HP 14 and 15
2. Dell Vostro 3400 and 3401
3. Asus Vivobook 14 and 15
4. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3
5. Acer Aspire 5

1. HP 14 and 15

Although the HP 14 and 15 range of laptops exceeds the budget of Rs. 40,000, they are worth spending some additional bucks. One of the HP 14 and 15 laptops main highlights is their sleek, compact design coupled with excellent specifications. These HP laptops are a perfect choice for working professionals who want a laptop for their day-to-day work requirements and students who want a laptop for their online classes or preparing assignments. These laptops have something to offer to everyone.

One of the unique points of these HP 14 and 15 laptops is their versatility. If you want decent performance at an affordable price range, you can opt for the AMD variant, or you can opt for the Intel variant if you want it. If you want a compact size, you can opt for the variant with a 14-inch screen, or if you want a larger viewing area and a dedicated numeric pad, you can opt for the 15-inch variants. If you want fast processing and storage and can compromise on the storage size, you can opt for the variants with an SSD drive, and else you can go with the variant with an HDD drive. You always have the option of choosing a laptop that suits your needs the best.

Lets talk about the performance first. The HP 14 and 15 laptops is one of those few laptops in this segment that offer an Intel 11th-gen i3 processor or an AMD Ryzen 3 4300U processor. Regardless of which variant you choose, you will get optimum performance on both of them, and regular tasks would not be an issue. You can easily attend your online classes or meetings, watch YouTube or Netflix, edit documents, and even run programming codes without any problems. If you are a casual gamer, you can easily run non-demanding games like FIFA on lower settings.

All these laptops offer additional slots for both RAM and Storage if the need arises in the future. You can add an additional 8 GB RAM if you feel the need for the same. The laptop arrives with Windows 10 Home pre-loaded with lifetime validity and Microsoft Office 2019 Home and Student. The screen used in these laptops is high-quality screens with decent brightness levels and an above-average screen-to-display ratio.

The laptop is powered by a 41Wh battery that can easily provide you with 5-6 hours of battery backup on regular use. The laptops are not that heavy, and you can easily carry them around on your back. Now it is worth noting that because its a budget laptop, there are some essential features that are missing. For example, you do not get a dedicated graphics card, nor do you get a backlit keyboard. But for just a tad over 40,000, it is not something of a deal-breaker.

Overall, the HP 14 and HP 15 are easily one of the best laptops if you are willing to shed a couple of thousand extra.

Like the HP 14 and 15 laptops, the Dell Vostro laptops are also offered in multiple variants, each of them having different specifications.

The Dell Vostro Series laptops feature a 14-inch FHD screen with an Anti-Glare coating on top. Although the screen is of good quality, the screen to display ratio is not that great, thanks to the massive chin on the bottom.

The laptop runs on Windows 10 Home out of the box, and you might get the option to update to Windows 11.

One of the best parts of buying this laptop is the fact that you get several options to upgrade your laptop in the future. You get an additional slot for upgrading your RAM as well as the internal storage. It might come in handy in the future if the need arises for the same.

Overall, the Dell Vostro Series is an excellent laptop for you if you are looking for a laptop with decent specifications, and you can compromise a bit on the looks.

Lets start with performance first. The Vivobook 14 and 15 ship with AMD Ryzen 5 and Intel i3 processors up to 11th Gen which should be enough for your regular day-to-day tasks. If you are a working professional or a student, you will find the performance to be insufficient in any way. If the gaming and casual work are also listed in your daily use, then Ryzen 5 is the ultimate choice for you.

In terms of looks and design, the Vivobook is certainly one of the best laptops in the segment. The laptops feature a minimalistic design which looks quite pleasing. The Vivobook series offers sleek and lightweight laptops that are not difficult to carry around.

I am a big fan of the Asus Vivobook keyboard. The keys are very responsive and there is a huge space between the two keys, which offer you a comfortable typing experience. Some 14-inch versions also have a backlit keyboard. The laptop offers you all the connectivity options, including USB type C. For security support, it also has a dedicated fingerprint sensor.
