Getting a perfect laptop in Nepal that’s both powerful and affordable has become a tedious task. However, there still are some good options and in this post, we are listing the best laptops that you can buy under NPR 70000 in Nepal.
How to buy laptops under Rs 70000 in Nepal? [Mini-Guide]
Most of the laptops that you can get for under Rs 70000 in Nepal compromise on one aspect or the other. So, it’s important to set your priorities before you head out into the market. We don’t recommend compromising power though. For 70000 Nepali Rupees, you can easily get laptops with 12th and 13th Gen Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5000 and 7000-series CPU. Especially, the 12th and 13th Gen CPUs offer significant multi-core performance uplift because of their hybrid core architecture.
Moving on, 8GB RAM was hard to get at this price point in the past years, but we have curated the ones having it. Further, you can get IPS displays with FHD resolution in this price range, but most of them will max out at 250 nits. On the design front, most of the laptops under NPR 70,000 sport a plastic build and design. Few laptops even offer a plastic-metal hybrid design.
