Best Laptops Under Rs. 90,000 in Nepal: Features and Specs

It’s challenging to pick the best laptop for your needs. New laptops with new features are launched almost every day, making it difficult to select what to buy, especially if you aren’t up to date on technology. Therefore, in this article, we have prepared a list of the best laptops under Rs. 90000 in Nepal.

Laptops are undoubtedly one of the most crucial aspects of modern living. A laptop can be used for anything, including education, business, entertainment, and personal use. We all recognize the importance of a laptop in our everyday lives, but deciding which laptop to purchase can be a difficult task.

Under the budget of Rs. 90,000 in Nepal, there are so many laptop options to choose from. And most of them are very close to each other in terms of their offerings. Some of the laptops on this list are much better than others, while others have minor differences.

Prices May Vary

It’s worth noting that in the past, TechLekh has only listed products from authorised distributors. However, because authorised distributors do not always bring the desired products to Nepal — and even when they do, the prices are outrageous — we have decided to include laptops from unregulated stores as well.

This has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. The benefit is that it is usually less expensive to purchase. You can also purchase laptops that are not officially available in Nepal. However, there is a risk of receiving refurbished products and poor after-sales service. And the prices may also vary.

Therefore, if available, we still suggest you buy from authorised stores only.

Choosing a Laptop Under 90000 in Nepal

So, you’re in the market to buy the best laptop under NPR 90,000 in Nepal, but don’t know what things to look for in a laptop? To help people like you, I have briefly discussed the things you should consider looking for when purchasing a laptop.

Display size

The first one is how portable you want your laptop to be. If you travel frequently with your laptop, it’s best to look for a smaller-sized laptop. On the other hand, if you don’t need to carry your laptop often, you can go for a bigger laptop.

The bigger laptops are generally more powerful and have a good thermal design, while the smaller laptops are lighter and easier to carry.

14 to 15 inches laptops are more common in the market. For most people, 15 inches laptops are most suitable, but you can go for a 14-inch one if you need less weight to carry. Likewise, you can also go for 11 or 12 inches.

CPU

The CPU, or the central processing unit, of the laptop is one of the most important factors when looking for a laptop. It determines the performance of the machine.

To get a general understanding of the processor performance, there are terms like clock speed, core and thread counts, TDP, cache memory, and more. We won’t go into detail explaining all of this technical jargon in this article because it would be too long. I may come up with a detailed laptop buying guide in the future for that.

Anyway, simply put, faster clock speed, more core and thread count, and a higher power rating (measured in watts) mean better performance of the CPU.

However, knowing the CPU’s specs by themselves might not be sufficient to understand how well the CPU performs in actual use. IPC, or instructions per cycle/clock, how well the CPU is tuned for your particular apps, and many other factors matters, but let’s save that discussion for another time

Storage

You can find two types of storage devices on a laptop: HDD or SSD. HDD stands for “hard disk drive,” whereas SSD stands for “solid-state drive”. HDDs store data magnetically in spinning disks, while SSDs store data in flash memory and don’t have any moving parts.

Always choose a laptop with an SSD as the main storage option. Compared to HDDs, SSDs significantly speed up the operating system and app opening and closing.

RAM

8GB of RAM will often be plenty for most normal users. But be sure to get a laptop with upgradeable RAM to ensure future-proofing. If you do heavy work, you may need extra RAM.

Display

A good display makes everything better, especially when watching movies. Make sure to get at least a Full HD display (1920 x 1080 pixels) and an IPS panel.

More pixels on a display make it sharper, while an IPS display has good colour and viewing angles. Avoid any lower resolution displays and TN panels, as they appear soft and washed out. The viewing angles of a TN panel are also not great.

Battery Life

A laptop with a good battery life allows you to use it longer, wherever you are, without having to plug it in. So, if you plan to use your laptop on battery, you must choose a laptop with strong battery life.

Best Laptops Under 90000 in Nepal

There are many laptops in Nepal to choose from under Rs. 90,000. It is a sweet spot for a lot of Nepali consumers. Laptops in this budget are suitable for students, businesses, and personal use. You may also be able to play light games and even do some light video editing with ease on a laptop of this budget range.

However, for a heavy user who intends to play intense gaming or perform heavy productive work such as 3D modeling, animation, and editing high-quality videos, it may be best to look for higher-end laptops.

Currently, in this budget, a laptop with 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPUs is very common. Some laptops may come with an entry-level graphics card, but usually, laptops in this budget do not come with a dedicated graphics card.

You can easily get 8GB of RAM in this budget, which should be enough for most users.

Having said that, here are our pick for the best laptops under 90000 in Nepal for 2022.

Having said that, the dedicated MX350 graphics card does boost the performance of the laptop, albeit not dramatically.

#2. Dell Inspiron 15 5515

My pick for the second-best laptop under 90k in Nepal is the Dell Inspiron 15 5515.

The Dell Inspiron 15 5515 has a premium full metal build. It has an ErgoLift hinge, which tilts the keyboard. This makes it easier to type and also improves the cooling.

The Inspiron 15 5515 features a 15.6-inch Full HD WVA display. The WVA panel mentioned here stands for Wide-Viewing Angle, which is a display panel technology.

It is not yet clear how this panel differs from the IPS or VA panel, but the quality of the panel in the Inspiron 15 5515 is comparable to an IPS display with good viewing angles.

Powering the laptop is AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU and an integrated AMD Radeon Graphics. The CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads with a clock speed ranging from 2.1GHz to 4.0GHz.

It comes with 8GB of DDR 3200MHz RAM and 256GB NVMe SSD. There are two SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 slots, enabling users to upgrade the RAM and add additional storage.

#1. Asus ZenBook 14

And the title for the best laptop under 90000 in Nepal goes to the Asus ZenBook 14.

The Asus ZenBook 14 has a premium all-metal, lightweight, and compact design. It also has the ErgoLife hinge, which tilts the keyboard when opened. For ports, it has a USB Type-A port, two USB-C ports, an HDMI port, a combo audio jack, and a microSD card reader.

It flaunts a 14-inch Full HD IPS LCD anti-glare display that claims to cover 100% sRGB colour space. The laptop comes equipped with a hexa-core AMD Ryzen 5500U CPU and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX450 GPU.

It is paired with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, which is unfortunately soldered. So, users cannot upgrade the RAM. The storage, on the other hand, can be upgraded as the laptop includes an M.2 slot. It comes installed with 256GB NVMe SSD.

Moreover, the laptop packs a 63Wh battery. Asus provides a 65W power adapter to charge the battery.

Conclusion

So, there you have it. The laptops listed above are currently the best laptops you can buy in Nepal for under 90000. As mentioned earlier, the prices may vary slightly between places but should be similar.

It would have been great if there was a standard price across the country, but the situation of the laptop market in Nepal is not that great. Not all laptops make it to Nepal officially, and even when they do, the prices are really high.

Anyway, purchasing the aforementioned laptops would not be foolish if you could get them for a similar price. The performance of laptops in this price range is very similar. For that reason, you need to look for other things to know which one is better.
