Total budget: 2-3 Lakh Indian Rupee
Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Performance>Battery Life>Build Quality>Form Factor
How important is weight and thinness to you? Not much
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A (Will use an external monitor)
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Blender, Premiere
If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Don't care about quality as long it runs
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Fingerprint would be nice for security although not a deal breaker
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I will be joining an Engineering college to study Computer Science. I am interested in game dev and would like to try and make a few indie projects or participate in Game Jams.
With these RAM and SSD prices I am lost on what to buy now.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
