Our recommendation on choosing the best laptop under Rs 40,000 with graphics card:
Rs 40,000 can get you a laptop that can handle your moderate gaming needs, implying, you would be able to play older games comfortably but might struggle with latest ones, unless played at the lowest settings. And the culprit is the GPU instead of RAM or the CPU.
If you can get a laptop with 940M get it. Period. Otherwise, 930M.M445 are the best cards under Rs 40,000 that can offer decent gaming experience, while the M360, M430 and the likes offer entry level gaming performance. These cards should also be able to run games like Dota and Counter Strike without breaking a sweat.
All of these graphics cards should be adequate for architecture and design students.
On the processor front, 7th generation Core i5 is the best you’ll find in this range. A budget of Rs 40,000 can get you a 7th gen or 6th gen Core i5. 5th gen Core i5 processors are a bit old now but not that far behind in performance. If you’re looking for a Core i3, make sure it’s 7th gen at least.
That doesn’t mean that these laptops aren’t any good for office or other needs and these are the most powerful laptops available under Rs 40,000. So they’re as good for college students and working professionals. As such people not looking for gaming can pick the best laptop under Rs 40,000 based on their needs (8GB RAM for multitaskers, Windows 10/DOS, Core i5 for video editing, etc.)
