2.  A list of Best  Laptops under 3 different ranges that you can buy:

• UNDER 15,000
• UNDER 20,000
• UNDER 30,000

So, let’s get started with the First section i.e. 

5 Technical Specifications to be kept in mind while choosing a laptop or a computer

1. Processor

Processor – as the name suggests, one which processes.

So basically a processor or CPU is the one that is needed to process lots and lots of instructions per second so that our tasks function smoothly.

One way to assess processors is to find out the number of cores and the speed. The speed of the processor tells you how much data it can process in how much time, so the bigger the number, the better 

What about cores? Today, there are dual-core and quad-core processors. A core is the "working part" of the processor. A dual-core processor is like having an extra brain in your head to help you do things. Multi-core computers make it easier for you to run several programs at the same time.

i. Dual-Core:

Best suited for Home computers like desktop computers and unofficial use.

ii. i3 Processor:

Best suited for Office works or for High-End Multimedia Software like Photoshop, Corel draw, etc.

iii. i5 Processor:

Best choice if you have a passion for high-quality gaming apps and software.

iv. i7 Processor:

It is the best choice for Working Professionals as it allows you to perform high-end editing, 3D designing, Photoshop graphic designing and editing, Professional movie editing, etc.

Some larger laptops now incorporate Intel's i9 Core processors. Laptops running on i9 Core processors are even more powerful than laptops running on i7 Core processors. They're able to rival desktops for performance but they do come with a significantly higher cost than a laptop with an i7, i5 or i3 Core Processor.

Now let’s come to our 2nd point and that is:

2. RAM:

But hey! hey! Why do you need RAM?

Ye janna bhi to zaruri he so that you can make a better choice.

There is no use of a Processor without RAM. RAM temporarily stores the processes processed by the processor. Hence, having high-quality RAM is very essential for a laptop or desktop to work efficiently without the issue of hanging here and there.

The technology has evolved and hence, thinking about a 2GB or 4GB RAM is a sin.

These days, you’ll probably want to think about 8GB RAM as a minimum. If you’re a power-user, 16GB is the way to go. Meanwhile, gamers should look all the way to 32GB if they want the best experience.

3. Graphics Card:

This is a very important thing if you look at video games or 3D animation games. It requires a lot of storage capacity and hence, choosing the best  Graphics Card is vital especially if you want high-end gaming experience.

Here are the 3 best choices that you can make:

1. Best high-end GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

What does it provide?

 Titan X-like gaming performance

 Improved cooling

 A pricey investment for most

2. Best mid-range GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060

 What does it provide?

 Solid 1080p performance

 Great overclocker

 No SLI compatibility

3. Best entry-level GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

What does it provide?

 Solid 1080p performer

 Good overclocking potential

 Greater than 75W TDP

Along with this,

With Nvidia’s cutting-edge Max-Q tech, for instance, you can run games in 4K in considerably thin laptops. But it comes at a pretty hefty price tag. Take the Asus ROG Zephyrus for an example. 

AMD's renewed interest in high-end components showcased by the Radeon RX Vega has started a whole new battle in the best graphics cards market.

4. Storage

The most important point comes here.

C’mon Mate! Agar storage hi nh hogi, then where will you keep all your stuff!

Previously, Hard Drives were the saviors but today, a solid-state drive (SSD), on the other hand, offers a lot more speed than a hard drive, runs silently, and can be installed in a form factor that doesn’t add too much to the weight and bulk of a laptop. As a result of these clear benefits, most OEMs have embraced SSD storage as the standard for laptops. 

The only problem is that SSDs don’t offer as much capacity. This means that SSD storage is often more expensive in terms of dollars-to-gigabytes than traditional hard drives.  You’ll be stuck with a drive that’s either 128GB, 256GB or 512GB in size, but costs a lot more than one with a 1TB or 2TB hard drive would.

To compensate, many laptops and PC OEMs now pair a smaller SSD with a larger hard drive. This allows consumers to get the speed benefits of keeping their operating system on SSD storage while also having adequate storage space for the rest of their data.

Now, the choice is yours – You can choose SSD if it fits your budget or Hard Drive if budget is a concern for you.

5. Battery Life

The battery life of a device important thing that you should never outlook.

If you run programs that need lots of processing, stream lots of online videos, play graphics-intensive games or if you transfer lots of files over a wireless network, then your battery will drain a lot sooner than what the vendor has quoted.

A good practice here is to look at the rating of the battery in Watt-hours (Wh) or milliamp-hours (mAh). The larger these figures are, the longer the battery can last.

Along with the above technicalities, parameters such as Screen Size, Screen quality and Build quality can also be considered for efficiently buying an awesome and handy laptop.
