Best Laptops Under Rs. 70,000 in Nepal [Updated]

Getting yourself a decent laptop that is 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 Gen Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 5000-series CPU. Especially, the 12th Gen CPUs offer significant multi-core performance uplift because of their hybrid core architecture.

Moving on, 8GB RAM is hard to get at this price point, so look for laptops that provide upgradeable memory slots. Don’t settle for anything less than 1TB of HDD storage unless the laptop offers an SSD. 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 an all-aluminum design. Few laptops even offer a plastic-metal hybrid design.

4. Acer Aspire 5 (2022)

The laptop on number 4 is also from Acer. This time it’s last year’s Aspire 5 powered by Intel Core i3-1215U, which is actually a better performer than N305 despite being a last year’s product. While all 8 cores of N305 are E-cores, i3-1215U offers 2 Performance cores. The sacrifice here is power efficiency.

This is paired with GeForce MX550 GPU, NVIDIA’s latest entry-level graphics. It is not enough for gaming on this device but performs better than integrated graphics on any visual task.

Other aspects of the Acer Aspire 5 (2022) are decent. It has an aluminum lid, a 14-inch IPS screen, a good battery, and decent connectivity options. However, this particular model only has 4GB RAM, which is why it ranks at the bottom of this list.
