Tired of running around the market to figure out the price and availability of PC components that you are considering for your next build? Worry not because we have already prepared the updated price lists for major components like motherboard, RAM, and SSD. And in this post, we have curated the list of all the desktop processors (CPUs) from Intel and AMD that are currently available in Nepal along with their latest price.
How to choose a processor? (A mini-guide)
When choosing a processor, you need to be sure about what you want from your setup. If you are looking to build a home PC for basic tasks, you won’t need a powerful CPU—one from Intel’s i3, i5 or AMD’s Ryzen 3 lineup will suffice in this case.
On the other hand, if you’re building a gaming PC or a content creation workstation, you will need a more powerful silicon with a higher core/thread count.
Cores/Threads
In a processor, cores divide the work of the CPU making it more efficient. Cores are further divided into threads. However, not all workloads can make use of higher core/thread counts.
Usually, you will look for more cores if you are into content creation. The more the core/thread, the more fluid will tasks like multitasking and video editing be.
However, a processor with higher core/thread counts tends to have higher price tags in Nepal. So it can be wise to not go after them especially when you have a tight budget. To note, most modern-day games don’t benefit from a high core count.
Meanwhile, check out all the prices and specs of PCs in Nepal here
Clock Speed
So for a gaming setup, the better choice is to go for a CPU with higher clock speeds. You don’t need more cores, four to eight cores will do the trick most of the time. Manufacturers advertise processors with a base clock and a maximum clock speed.
You should be aware that the CPU can maintain maximum clock speed only for a short period and that if you have capable cooling. Additionally, the max boost clock specified by the vendor usually refers to a single-core boost frequency.
On the other hand, some CPUs can even be unlocked for higher clock speed. For instance, all the K-suffixed processors from Intel are overclockable. Price for the K and non-K suffixed SKU of the same processor are different in Nepal. So it needs to be considered before deciding on a processor.
TDP
The next thing to consider is TDP. Short for Thermal Design Power, it is the maximum heat generated by the processor at stock speed. If you are going for a higher TDP processor, make sure that your PSU (Power Supply Unit) can supply the required power. Also, the cooling setup should be able to dissipate heat effectively.
Architecture
It would be a big mistake to compare processors solely based on their core/thread count or clock frequency. The processor architecture determines how its components are organized, the functions that they can accomplish, and how it’s accomplished. It plays a major role in the performance of the processor.
Two CPUs with the same core count may have different clock speeds which they will maintain for different periods. Processors with the same clock speed may have different Instruction Per Cycle (IPC), resulting in different levels of performance.
Also, it is one of the most important determinants of performance upgrade over any two consecutive iterations of a company’s CPU. So, it is always wise to consult benchmark tests and reviews of processors from trusted sources before you spend your hard-earned cash on one.
With that out of the way, here’s the list of desktop processors available in Nepal alongside their respective prices. We have categorized them under Intel and AMD for your convenience.
You can buy desktop processors (CPUs) in Nepal from various PC outlets in Kathmandu Valley, especially in New Road and Putalisadak. However, you can visit Hukut for the best price and sealed pack Intel and AMD processors.
There was a time (not too long ago) when many of us in Nepal had to give up on our dream phones just because we couldn’t afford them right when they launched. I remember my dad waiting months, even years, for prices to drop or a newer model to come out, hoping the one he wanted would finally fit his budget. But things have changed. With the rise of EMI services in Nepal, a lot of people are now able to get the phone they really want, sometimes within days of its release.
So, what exactly is EMI and how does it work? Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know, from how to get started to which brands and stores are offering the best deals. If you’ve ever been confused about the process or worry it’s too complicated, you’re not alone and this guide is here to clear it all up for you.
0% EMI on mobile phones
What is 0% EMI?
0% EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) also known as no-cost EMI, refers to a financing option where the buyer pays the total cost of the mobile phone in fixed monthly installments without any additional interest or processing fees. For example, if a phone costs NPR 60,000 and the EMI tenure is 12 months, the buyer pays NPR 5,000 per month for 12 months, totaling NPR 60,000 with no extra charges.
Why choose 0% EMI in Nepal?
In Nepal, when a new phone comes out, it’s usually too expensive for most people to buy right away. That’s where 0% EMI comes in handy. You don’t have to pay the full amount at once. You can just pay in small monthly installments without any extra interest or hidden charges, so it doesn’t hurt your wallet all at once. It’s a great way to get the phone you really want, whether it’s a flagship or a solid mid-range model. Plus, lots of shops and banks offer EMI now, so it’s easy to find a deal that works for you.
How does it work in Nepal?
From what I’ve seen and experienced here in Nepal, 0% EMI schemes have become a really practical way to buy smartphones, especially for those of us who don’t want to or simply can’t spend a big chunk of money all at once. These EMI deals are usually offered through partnerships between smartphone brands, local retailers, online stores, and financial institutions like banks or finance companies.
The process is pretty straightforward. First, you choose a phone (usually something above NPR 15,000 qualifies), then pick your EMI plan; most people go for 6, 9, or 12 months, though it can go up to 18. Some schemes ask for a down payment (sometimes around 40%), but there are also offers with zero down payment, which is great if you’re short on cash.
Moreover, you’ll need to provide some basic documents like your citizenship certificate, proof of income (like salary slips if you’re working), and sometimes a bank account so they can set up auto-debits for your monthly payments. Once you submit everything, the approval usually doesn’t take more than a few days.
Payments can be made through your bank or even through digital wallets like eSewa and Khalti, which is super convenient. For many of us living here, this option really helps us get our hands on the latest phones without burning a hole in our pockets. It’s nice to see that more brands and retailers are making this easier and more accessible every year.
Key players in Nepal
Based on what I’ve found while researching and following the market here in Nepal, there are quite a few key players offering 0% EMI schemes for smartphones, and it’s becoming more common, especially with premium phones getting more expensive. Different brands team up with banks and finance companies to make these offers possible, and here are some of the main ones:
Samsung
Samsung has one of the most active EMI programs through its “Insta Finance” scheme in partnership with Hulas Finserv. You can get a Samsung phone above NPR 15,000 with 0% EMI, but you’ll need to pay a 40% down payment and show your citizenship. Payments are flexible, you can pay through eSewa, Khalti, or directly at Hulas’s Teku office. Just be careful with late payments, there’s a 2% penalty, and they can even lock your phone using Samsung Knox.
Xiaomi/Redmi
Xiaomi has brought back its 0% EMI offer in Nepal as of April 11, 2025. This time, you can buy the Redmi Note 14 series, Xiaomi 14T, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra with no interest on installments through MAW Hire Purchase. You just need to make a 40% down payment, making it easier for budget-conscious buyers to get the latest Xiaomi phones.
Vivo
Vivo has also jumped in by partnering with Goodwill Finance, offering 0% EMI for phones priced above NPR 25,000 (V, X, Y series). With Goodwill, you don’t even need a credit card, just your National Identity Card (NID).
Realme
Realme is working with Jagadamna Hire Purchase and Goodwill Finance, offering similar terms of 0% EMI without needing a credit card, and a 40% upfront payment for phones above NPR 20,000. They’re reportedly planning to roll out an updated EMI scheme in early 2025, so Realme fans should keep an eye on that.
Apple
As for Apple (iPhones), they’re a bit different. Authorized retailers like EvoStore and Oliz Store offer EMI options, often with 0% down payment, but many of these come with interest rates between 10–and 12%, unless it’s specifically advertised as a 0% EMI deal.
Overall, if you’re in Nepal and eyeing a new phone but don’t want to or can’t pay in full, these EMI schemes are a solid option. Just make sure to read the fine print, especially around interest rates, down payments, and penalties.
OnePlus
You can grab the 0% EMI service with two options: pay 40% upfront (no credit card needed, just your citizenship) or go for 0% down payment with a credit card from partner banks.
Honor
While Honor is a hit brand in Nepal, they currently don’t offer EMI. Exciting news is on the horizon. Yes, they’re set to roll out a 0% EMI plan in 2025, making their tough tech more affordable for Nepali fans not sure exactly when though.
Well, it’s not just the brand offering EMI service, you see. A growing number of retailers and online platforms have jumped on the EMI bandwagon, making it easier than ever to grab that dream device without draining your savings. Here’s a breakdown of who’s offering what (consider this your cheat sheet to smarter shopping).
Fatafat Sewa
Let’s start with Fatafat Sewa—true to its name, it helps you grab your favorite phone fatafat! They offer 0% EMI on a wide range of brands including Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Vivo, and OnePlus. With tie-ups with 12 banks and Hulas Finserv, you get flexible options. If you have a credit card, you can even enjoy a 0% down payment. No credit card? No problem. You’ll just need to pay around 40% upfront. EMI tenure goes from 6 to 18 months, perfect for phones priced above NPR 15,000.
Image: Fatafat Sewa
Hukut Store
Next up is Hukut Store, your gadget haven in Kathmandu! They bring 0% EMI on Samsung, Vivo, Realme, Apple, and more, with partners like Hulas Finserv and Goodwill Finance. Just flash your citizenship and pay 40% upfront (no credit card needed for most plans). EMI runs from 3 to 12 months, and with nationwide delivery, Hukut’s got you covered faster than you can say “new phone day!”
Daraz Nepal
Then there’s Daraz Nepal, the e-commerce giant that’s become everyone’s go-to during sales season. They offer 0% EMI through partner banks like NIC Asia, Nabil Bank, and more. But you need a credit card, and after buying the phone and you’ll have to contact the bank to convert it into EMI. Think of it as adding a little paperwork to your shopping cart.
EvoStore
EvoStore is the Apple paradise in town. If you’re eyeing an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook, this is the place to be. They offer EMI through banks like Nabil, Mega, NIC Asia, and Machhapuchhre, and guess what? No down payment is required with specific bank tie-ups. So yes, you can finally bite into that Apple without emptying your fruit basket of savings hehe.
Oliz Store
Oliz Store, another popular Apple retailer, offers EMI with a cool feature with an EMI calculator to help you plan your budget before you swipe. You’ll need a credit card and a Delivery Order from your bank, but once that’s sorted, you’re all set.
Choicemandu
Image: Choicemandu
Ever heard of Choicemandu? This rising platform is all about choices. They provide 0% EMI with 0% down payment on smartphones and more. The process is pretty simple: pick your product, fill out an EMI form, and get a Delivery Order from one of their partner banks. It’s like window shopping with a safety net!
Samsung Plaza
And let’s not forget the OG; Samsung Plaza. These official Samsung outlets offer EMI through Hulas Finserv and banks like Nabil, NMB, and Global IME. If you don’t have a credit card, no worries, Hulas Finserv’s plan doesn’t require one. It’s Samsung’s way of saying, “Don’t stress, just press ‘buy.’”
Eligibility and Requirements
Well, before you fly into Cloud 9, lemme make this clear that there are a few things you need to make sure you have before you dive into the world of 0% EMI in Nepal. A quick checklist to unlock that sweet monthly payment plan without extra charges.
Age: You need to be 18 or older to qualify. Basically, if you can vote, you can EMI.
Income proof: This is where it gets real. You’ll need to show that you have a stable source of income. These could be salary slips, bank statements, or even income tax documents. Hey, they’re not being nosy okay? They just want to make sure you can handle the monthly payments.
Citizenship certificate: This one is a must. You need to be a valid Nepali citizen. No passport? No problem, as long as you’ve got your Nepali Nagarikta.
Bank account: An active bank account is often required, especially for plans that use auto-debit to collect your monthly installments. It makes the process smoother and you won’t forget to pay (or get hit with penalties).
Now here’s a fork in the road: some EMI plans require a credit card (I repeat, SOME). Especially those through banks like Nabil or Global IME. But don’t worry if you don’t have one. Finance companies like Hulas Finserv and Goodwill Finance have your back with non-credit card EMI options.
Lastly, the down payment varies depending on the scheme. It can be as low as 0% (especially for credit card EMI) or up to 50% in some cases. Hulas Finserv, for example, usually asks for a 40% down payment, which is kind of the standard for many offline plans.
Pros and Cons of 0% EMI in Nepal
So yeah, just because you are getting a brand new phone at the least cost, doesn’t mean it’s always the best option. It comes with its own pros and cons.
Pros
Affordability: Spreads the cost over months, making premium phones accessible.
No interest: Saves money compared to standard EMI with interest rates (e.g., 10–12% for iPhones at EvoStore).
Flexible tenures: Options from 3 to 18 months suit different budgets.
Non-credit card options: Schemes like Hulas Finserv and Goodwill Finance cater to those without credit cards.
Quick Approval: Many providers offer fast processing, sometimes within hours.
Cons and things to watch out for
Limited Tenure: Some schemes (e.g., Xiaomi with Nabil Bank) restrict EMI to 6 months, requiring higher monthly payments.
Down Payment: A 40% down payment can still be a significant upfront cost (e.g., NPR 40,000 for a NPR 100,000 phone).
Late Payment Penalties: Late payments may incur a 2% penalty or, in Samsung’s case, phone locking via Knox security.
Credit Card Dependency: Many schemes require a credit card, which may involve annual fees or complex cancellation processes.
Availability: Not all brands (e.g., Xiaomi currently) or models offer 0% EMI, and schemes may be limited to specific retailers or banks.
Hidden Terms: Some schemes may have unadvertised conditions, such as mandatory down payments or shorter tenures for certain models. Always read the fine print.

The Aspire 7 is among the popular laptops in the Nepali market, and it has gotten even better in terms of value for money with the new Dashain deals. So, let’s look into the specs, features, official price, and availability of Acer Aspire 7 (2022) in Nepal.
Acer Aspire 7 (2022) Overview:
CPU and GPU
The 2022 Edition of the Aspire 7 comes in both Intel and AMD flavors. The AMD version is a bit cheaper and comes with the Ryzen 5500U CPU. Likewise, you can choose between Intel Core i5-12450H and Core i5-1240P. Between the two, it’s the Intel variant that has better performance upgrades. This is because of the new hybrid architecture that Intel introduced with its 12th Gen Alder Lake processors.
As a result, the Core i5-1240P on the Nepali model can even outperform 11th Gen Core i7 U-series processors on previous Aspire laptops in multi-core benchmarks. On the other hand, AMD CPUs on 2022’s Aspire 7 are minor refreshes to their predecessor.
Moving on, Aspire 7 even has the option of discrete graphics. Here, the base models ship with NVIDIA’s GTX 1650 GPU and RTX 2050 graphics with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM. Acer also sells a higher-end variant with RTX 30-series mobile graphics globally with ray tracing, but they are not common in the local market.
Acer has included a dual fan cooling setup with three heat pipes to keep the Aspire 7’s internal temperature in check. You can choose from three predetermined fan speed modes with the “Fn+K” key combo. As for memory, the laptop ships with 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. You can upgrade the memory to 32GB down the line since the SODIMM slots are user accessible.
Moving on, the Acer Aspire 7 (2022) sports an aluminum chassis topped by a Charcoal Black finish. The body measures 19.90mm thick and weighs around 2.1 kg. Moving on, we get an ergonomic hinge that elevates the laptop to a certain degree for a comfortable typing session. In addition, the elevation also provides extra room at the bottom for cooling and audio.
The display on the Acer Aspire 7 measures 15.6 inches diagonally and boasts a 144Hz refresh rate. It is an FHD panel with a couple of in-house display technologies, like BlueLightShield and ExaColor.
Rest of the specs
Powering the laptop is a 3-cell 50Wh battery, and you get a 3-pin 135W AC adapter in the box. On the connectivity front, Aspire 7 (2022) has four USB ports, including one USB-C, one RJ45, one HDMI, and one combined audio jack. For video calls, Acer has included a T-Type HD webcam with a noise-reduction solution. The laptop can also filter noise coming through the built-in microphones as well as external accessories.
Acer Aspire 7 (2022) Specifications:
Design & Build: Aluminum chassis, 362.3W x 237.4D x 19.90-mm, 2.1 kg

What’s more?
RigoHR NG can be accessed as a website, as well as an app on both mobile OS platforms i.e. Android and iOS. It has a very neat user interface and offers a wide range of cool features for both employees and employers.
For Employees
RigoHR NG has a comprehensive dashboard that shows every detail of every employee, including the ones who are retiring. This dashboard also displays the upcoming birthdays of colleagues and the latest events. You also get the entire statement of your pay in the app itself. In addition to that, you also can easily request and keep track of your leaves from the app.
Furthermore, employers can add learning materials for the employees in the RigoHR NG. This can be very handy as it negates the need to perform induction programs and such. Which can be very time-consuming as well as difficult to pull off in large companies with multiple branches.
RigoHR NG also offers a similarly wide range of features to employers. Firstly, the mobile apps are geofenced, meaning, the employer first has to authorise the employee’s device. After this whenever employees clock into the app, the location data is also stored. As a result of this, employees cannot fake their attendance with the RigoHR NG.
Similarly, you can add training materials and track how far the employees have gone into the said material too. You can also assign tasks, track employees’ performance, and manage the payroll, all through RigoHR NG itself. Additionally, it also has recruitment, onboarding, and off-boarding features, which are pretty unique.
