Lenovo is a well-known brand when it comes to laptops. The Lenovo Ideapad 130 is running on Windows 10 Home and again, it’s upgradable to Windows 11 Home.
The Lenovo Ideapad 130 is a good laptop but it’s not available online or I can say, it’s out of stock on all the e-commerce websites. So if you can find this model in an offline store and if you can get it at around 20kk then it would be a good deal.
It has A6-9225 2.6 GHz with Turbo Boost Upto 3 GHz AMD Radeon R4 Graphic Card along with 4GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
As per Lenovo, the laptop will last for 5-hours. By the way, don’t expect gaming from this laptop, it’s good for watching movies to working on the browser.
Overall, Lenovo Ideapad 130 is a good option but not the best. So if you want only want to buy a Windows laptop then you can consider this laptop otherwise, you can take look at ASUS Chromebook Celeron.

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.
Now if your work requires Windows software then you have to go with Windows Laptop.
So the ASUS Chromebook Celeron C423NA-BV0523 would be my pick for Chromebook and RDP ThinBook 1010 for Windows.
