Conclusion – Best Laptops Under Rs 20,000
Choosing the best Laptop under 20k is going to be a bit harder because you have to choose between performance and features.
If you need a laptop for office work where most of the work will be on the browser then Chromebooks are a better option because they will give better performance and the best battery life.
