Suggest Laptop under 50k

Hey everyone,

I'll be joining my MBA program soon (NMIMS / New IIM) and need some help picking a laptop. I need a laptop that strictly meets the mandatory B-school requirements. Beyond standard coursework, I also manage marketing campaigns and visual content creation, so I need something that won't lag under a heavy workflow.

Here is the catch: I am working with an extreme budget constraint of around ₹40,000 - ₹45,000, max 50k

I have narrowed it down to three options in this price range:

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, Acer Aspire Lite i5, Asus Vivobook 15

Does anyone have experience using either of these for their MBA? Which one holds up better?

I am not a techie so completely open to more suggestions, please don't confuse me further. That's the only ask.

Finally, if anyone has tips on how to leverage student discounts or bank offers to bring the price down further, I would massively appreciate the help!
